Suits are best commissioned with trousers cut to be worn at the natural waist. This means braces, side tabs (if desired but none are better), no belt, no belt loops.
If you go to a Cracker Barrel restaurant most any morning (EGADS! I stooped so low as to want southern "country" breakfast!) you'd rethink the value and purpose of braces...........
Damn! I wish I had a photo of the braces fashion show that is sponsored daily at a Cracker Barrel.
BTW, I do applaud you for using a Coke bottle for spittle collection. I bet it is a 6 1/2 oz bottle that fits well inside your suit coat inside breast pocket.
Nothing wrong with wanting a southern breakfast. They're great. But there is a lot wrong with eating at a cracker barrel, which is generally crappy.
