True, but the catalogue description would have been composed decades later, and an archivist, say in the 1950s, may have tagged them as "Oxford Bags" simply because they were historic. What needs to be found is contemporary (1890s) evidence referring to the trousers as bags.
Plus, there is...
I agree!
On another note, I found this academic article on Princeton and college fashion....

I have a pair of baby blue 1950s gab slacks that I kept in a bin where I store clothing that need alterations. As I was moving stuff around, I laid a computer printer on top of the uncovered bin. I didn't notice the printer had shifted to it's side slightly, and black ink came dripping out...
