They look... well a bit steam punk. Not something i'd wear under a vest with those buckles.

These are fallers suspenders (lumberjacks) the D links are for attaching safety whistle and other essentials needed out in the woods. I like them, they'd look good with my Prison Blues logger pants.
Sorry for the poor quality image.

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, kneeling, crawling, etc. It also provides lots of places to hang my tools.
The wide shoulder straps are a good feature; these straps are bearing a lot of weight and thin straps will cut into one's shoulders.
I don't like the flimsy strap and buckle assembly in front; looks too weak to hold up under rough treatment.

Interesting braces.
Personally I wouldn't wear them. They look rather bulky and I can't see that working well with a waistcoat.
