The Puffy pants you are referring to are called Pumpkin Pants or Slops. Slops come paned and unpaned.

Here are Paned Slops and pants are also called Venetians . The correct term is Breeches. (http://margospatterns.com/images/ElzGntlmsWrdbLg.gif)

Hope this helps.

ebay may be of help too for something on the quick for men's Renaissance Costumes.
