You can't see it but there's a holster attached to it...![]()
...which is the ONLY reason one would be justified to wear both braces and belt together

Evidently braces are a serious threat to National Security.
I had a short plane trip (out on Wednesday and back on Thursday), and both times the metal adjuster buckles set off the detector requiring a full-body pat-down from a friendly TSA representative. Not the old-fashioned wand that would beep to indicate where the metal was, but the full, intimate touchy-feely treatment.
The same happened to me a week ago. I had forgot to think of my sock garters, I wear them daily so I didn,t notice. I felt embarrassed, I am used to a lot of comments and staring people because I always dress in a very strict, old fashioned way, always use a cane and so on, but I´m not used to show my sock garters. I thougt to many people staring at me at the same time and they looked like they never have seen someone properly dressed before. Hope you didn´t have the same feeling.Sock garters, too. I forgot to take them off the last time I went through Detroit and they set it off. I found out I can take my braces off without taking off my waistcoat, though. For speed's sake, I can't put them back on without taking the waistcoat off.
How about this guy:

Regarding the terminology of braces versus suspenders, I got it in my head that if they have a clip, they're suspenders, but if they have leather loops which require brace buttons on your trousers, they're called braces. It's just that suspenders with clips have fallen out of favor in popular fashion as I see it, so it's more stylish to wear braces. Has this been covered already?

Hi
Um, did most men wear a shirt, braces, a vest / waistcoat, and a jacket on top of that back in the 1920's, 30's, and 40's? I bet that made Montezuma's Revenge VERY exciting what with removing a jacket, unbuttoning a six button vest and pulling it off, then slipping the braces off, unbuttoning the pants, and dropping everything else.
