They were popular in the 18th and 19th century until about the 1830s I believe, and the fashion turned to trousers as we know them today. When a little boy finished his potty training and didn't need to have a diaper changed, he was breeched. It also gave us the slang word "britches" for pants. :-)Norkiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017387181655123770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-23739119301927456712010-02-28T10:20:50.821-06:002010-02-28T10:20:50.821-06:00Great shot of those little ones.
