Welcome, jesuswillis!
Great choice, but I doubt you'll find them RTW.

Welcome Jesus, You can likely find trousers RTW that are pleated and unfinished. Why not ask your tailor to add brace buttons and remove the belt loops when he finishes the cuffs? There should be enough material left over for side tabs if you wanted them. Perhahs even the vendor could do this.

Because the cut is different, I would say. 99.99% of RTW pleated trouses you may find will have too low a rise and won't hang and feel right with braces.

Costi, You are right. I forgot about this most important element and it should be considered.

Some Mark Stephen Marengo's RTW trousers have daks side tabs and buttons for braces - they normally only sell them as part of a suit but may be able to sell you a separate pair of trousers.

If you are in London it might be worth trying Ede & Ravenscroft. I bought several pairs fitting that description, although I opted for no turn-ups, a couple of years ago.
You will need to pop in or give them a call as their online shop doesn't carry everything they offer. The Gracechurch Street branch was always very pleasant to deal with, in my experience.
cheers
