The breeches have buttons at the waist for attaching braces. Above the buckles at the knees are three decorative buttons.

Every year the General Assembly was chaired by a different Moderator, a minister chosen by committee. At the Assembly, decisions were taken on the policies, beliefs and life of the church.
