Yeah, yeah. I know1  It's braces.  And, the "chalecos" (in Spanish) that
we wear are not vests, as that is an undershirt for youse guys!  Being
married for 25 yrs to an Irish girl (born & raised in London) clues me
into all that jargon, and I quite often am mistaken as to which version
I should use where.  Ya oughta see the looks I get when I ask for "the
gents" in America!!
