I took some time to try to find out. I had some difficulty. Maybe it is because I've misunderstood the reference.
If I'm not mistaken, it appears that Albert Barnes got his information from, "Christ and Culture", by H. Richard Niebuhr (chapter 1, page 153), where Neibuhr references, Reisebescreib(?). Which I can't find any information on.
In the reference, Barnes also notes that the specific outer garment (robe) warn by Job was also occasionally worn by women and by men of noble birth or rank.
So, we would have a reference to both pantaloons and a type of robe shared by both men and women.
