I know, some of my vintage suits have trousers like this. I always thought the zip adjusters became popular at the same as zip flies (early 60s) but Chausseur's suit seems to break this pattern by having a button fly (more traditional) with a zip adjuster (very modern for the 50s). Zip flies date back to the 30s as far as I'm aware but only made it to the UK in the late 50s.I can remember trousers with waist adjusters (which are NOT zipped) from 1952; they antedate zip flies which date from around 1960.
