It's the "supposedly" part I worry about. I'd like to see the paintings.
In these I don't see laces. https://witness2fashion.wordpress.co...s-1700s-1900s/
About ACW shirts, I've looked at many photos and some surviving garments and as best I remember they're all buttoned.
There's a YouTuber who is an expert on historical clothing who reviews the accuracy of Hollywood costuming and one of her pet peeves is Hollywood making everything tie with laces.
Here she's doing something a bit different, a tongue-in-cheek video of how to transform cheap Halloween costumes into historically accurate ones. She gets into laces at 3:35 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAoaksK9mZM
