Yep. These are intended for wear with heavyweight winter wool (or heavy canvass) field trousers, . At least, that's how I'd use them. I wear these kind of trousers for my wildlife research and yes, I usually wear braces and a belt. This keeps everything in place when I'm bending, crouching...
Remember the virtually indestructible and impeccably tailored suit worn by Cary Grant in North by Northwest? Here is part of that unforgettable scene where Grant is being chased by a crop duster.

An interesting story about this suit can be found...
Could this be...a Jazz Suit?
On eBay: Limited pics and poor description, but it sure looks like it could be a Jazz Suit, most likely a modern interpretation of one.

I highly recommend the thornproof Donegal tweed. I have a three-piece "country" suit in this fabric. It will come out of storage in a few weeks. Ahem, I hope it still fits, I put on a few pounds this summer.
Beautiful trousers. Interested to know why you opted for belt loops. They drape so much better with braces/suspenders. The waist would be much cleaner without the loops.
I thoroughly enjoyed the 1948 film noir thriller The Big Clock on Turner Classic Movies last night. Lots of great suits (and hats). Ray Milland stars as George Stroud, a NYC crime magazine editor who is framed for a murder by his tyrannical publishing boss, Earl Janoth (Charles Laughton)...
The whole idea of seersucker is staying comfortable in hot weather. A waistcoat rather defeats the purpose and thus it looks a little silly/overdressed to me. That is, unless you are going for the Mark Twain look.
If it is hot enough that you are wearing seersucker, why are you wearing...
I really like the look of Bermuda shorts and knee socks with jacket and tie, as they are worn for business on the Island of Bermuda.
Though this would be difficult to pull off anywhere else but there.
I've always fancied these boating/regatta blazers from the UK. It would be fun to wear one to lake/ocean events here in the US, and this one's connection to Patrick McGoohan's jacket in the classic series The Prisoner makes it even more attractive. But *yucky*OMG*yucky* look at the horrid fit...
