^ We'll probably get yelled at for being off topicblush
The leather ends of the suspenders (called braces in England) are flat and have button holes in them; high quality men's suit pants almost always have flat buttons sewn into the waistband on either side in the front and two in the back and you button the suspender ends to them...The major advantage is: you don't wear a belt so it is more comfortable, especially when you sit down; it doesn't pull in and bunch up the waist, and you can actually adjust the suspenders a bit to raise and lower the slacks, so that they hit the tops of your shoes at the proper height (especially if you're a fanatic like me....)!
This is my main complaint about Ed's clothes: somewhere in the last few years it became hip or stylish to have these hideous bunched-up slacks around the shoes- why Eric goes along with this I don't know...it looks awful and is not at all proper... This suit is either Ralph Lauren Black Label or Gucci, I am pretty sure, and all but perfectly fitted except for the damned bottom of the slacks!!

my my my, thank you so much! i get it now!
i don't think this is off-topic, tbh, it's a fashion related info corner atm...
and i get you about the slacks! those seem annoying, esp.when a shorter man has them (like Ed). though, what would you have him do, pull the pants a bit up?

No- it's just that the 'proper' tailoring would be to hem them to the top of the shoe... I have them flair (bell) the slacks a bit at the bottom and then make the front a little bit shorter than the back, like an angle cut- this way it falls correctly...good luck trying to find a seamstress who has any idea what you are talking about!!
This suit is so British it has a Mayfair accent!! Two button single breasted in a gray pinstripe, with peaked lapels, which are almost always only seen on double breasted suits; a ticket pocket to the left (his right) which is where you keep your tickets to the opera, Old Sport!!, and hacking pockets, which are the angled pockets- making it easier to access your derringer when you are riding on one of your steeds - a very proper Country Gentleman's touch!!
There's a story behind every outfit!!

i don't remember the outfit from #157, was it used?
btw, speaking of suit stories, i only know one (obviously since i'm a dumba ss regarding suits)... those vents, well, in the '70s in Eastern Europe those vents were used as ID's on the universities - esp.among the professors, so if you had two vents you're a gay person, and if you wore suit jackets with only one vent (in the middle) than it meant you're a straight person. it was a non-verbal conversation at the time among the academic staff/students. hope it's interesting tidbit, it sure was for me when i heard it... 
i adore stories about clothes.

^ I didn't notice that outfit , either...
I never heard about that story!! No, sorry...it had nothing to do with sexual persuasion! Side vents are considered more formal so you can reach into your pockets when all buttoned up without undoing the front (remember old time suits had like four or five buttons up the front and were usually double breasted) and center vents are considered more casual, as they were there to make it easier to ride- the two halves, if you will, fell to either side when astride a horse...

no, no. it was a common way to "show" your preference to others in my university and other ones in this region. just a story of a region, i guess.^ I didn't notice that outfit , either...

^ Thanks!! Now I need that sport coat- I wonder who is it by...!! I have a Polo jacket very much like it, but I don't care for the material- the wool is too heavy so you can only really wear it in cold weather...
BTW- how many guys can wear cardigans like that and not look like a dork!!?

^^Not many guys, that's for sure! They can put him in anything, all sorts of crazy fashion, and he will carry it off like a pro. It's the attitude, he never lets the clothes overwhelm him.
Anyway, here's Ed at the St Regis International Cup in Sussex over the weekend:
