A Question for the Historical Costumers

[gnomi]

OK, so I'm editing a novel set in Victorian England, and a question arose that neither the author nor I know the answer to. That is, how were the fastenings of men's trousers referred to (and by trousers, I mean that which we call "trousers" in modern American English?

Anyone who can answer the question or point me to an answer gets a virtual cookie.

Thanks!

Beat me to the punch! What book are you getting that from?

And also, does it reference Fly fold? Just curious. I've seen that on patterns for the period, but have no knowledge if that's historically accurate or not.
