I agree that the "truss" means trews.

As for Carrs - perhaps a Rolls and a Bentley....
The owners (west coast family) has an incredible collection including the tartan suit and dress that the chief and his wife wore to the 1822 Levee dinner

They also have two pairs of Highland Revival era currans, probably c1800-20 which are professionally made, with a second sole and more like Roman sandles. Oh, and they have some pre-'45 broad swords and two targes of the period too. I'll see if I can get permission to post images.
