Blue and Royals' frockcoat

Gents,
a chap was watching the nuptials and was looking at the lads' uniforms.
A Blues and Royals frock coat, made of doeskin (interesting) by Savile Row's Dege & Skinner.
The ornamental bit down the front looked very unusual however, sort of like a series of tuxedo like flaps (forgive my ignorance).
Does any one know what the story is behind those?
I've searched t'interweb with not much luck - somewhere it's referred to as braiding - but that doesn't sound right.
Probably a question for ARRSE - but I thought some of you might know...
