Journal des Dames et des Modes, 15 March 1832: Redingote à brandebourgs.

The brandebourgs are the ornamental loop-fastenings on the gentleman's coat, often used with frog-buttons. The Dictionary of Fashion History by Valerie Cumming defines brandenbourgs/brandenburgs as "trimming of transverse cording and tassel in the military style used on clothing of both genders."
