Hi Vivian and All,
Happy New Year Everyone!!! I was having a discussion with a friend of
mine the other day about the proper name for bracers, gallises, braces or
suspenders. It is the same name for what men use to keep up their pants.
Different regions of the province seem to have different names. I would
be interested to hear what other people are calling them around the
province. I know on the south coast in Gaultois we used to call them
bracers.
