pantalon à brides
French to English

Can I assume that brides in this case should be understood as "braces", i.e. the stretchy things that hold up your trousers.
L'une représente un bourgeois ventripotent, très style 1830, qui, en pantalon à brides et en grande redingote invite à déguster du vin d'Alsace.

Do you get to see the pictures?
This chap's got a frock coat on, so you wouldn't see any braces or the like. You probably wouldn't see buttonholes either ...
pantalon à brides gets no hits on Google! GDT has loop / tie / string for bride in a clothing context.
In the absence of further information, I'd probably stick with the vaguest option!

It's more likely to do with buttoning or buttonholes than braces
