1970s Gucci Pants

[*~Eli!]

Ok... may be a dumb question. But is there a name for this sort of decorative hardware? I've come up with a few terms but maybe there is a name for it I don't know about? Or a better and less wordy way to describe it?
Gucci signature linking horseshoe hardware?
Decorative gold metal horseshoe links indicative of 70s Gucci?
Gucci trademark, gold tone, decorative hardware on front pockets.

Oi, I'm making myself crazy with this. Is there something those things are actually called?

It is called a horsebit and very popular with Gucci! Great pants!

I love your pics, I want those doors, or whatever that background is. Looks really neat! Great pants too.

Hi Villa, I live in a 150+ year old former Fabric Mill, on the Blackstone River in New England, and those loading doc doors open into my living room.

Yeah, the pants were a cool find and thank you.
