    On one of the previous photos the same thought popped into my head. Great photos to look back on

    Fecking flares on this dude, worse than the other thread pics. He wins.

    Ahem, might be showing my age here. <yikes>

    Pretty sure you're not looking at flares, but combination of A-lines, high waisters, & Oxford bags.

    Not that I wore any. I was still wearing flared Levis which would now be classed as boot-cut.

    Well whatever they are, you certainly got more material for your money in those days than you do now with the skinny fit **** fashion.

    All I really remember about flares was they got stuck in your bicycle chain a lot and made it difficult to climb over fences as they kept catching on spikes and posts as you were trying to clamber over.

    Agree about flares. Used the bike a lot then & most people wrapped elastic bands on the handlebars so that they could always have a ready-made bicycle clip.

    Also remember passing by a football kickabout & getting asked to play. Was wearing A-line Levis (had to be Levis!), which are a flare that starts at the top of the leg rather than the knee. Rather than go the long way to get started, I gingerly climbed over a fairly high barbed wire fence. On arrival on the ground, one of my denim legs didn't make it. Got caught & whipped right off. I looked a right sight playing at the best of times, but this took the biscuit. I only had a pocket hanging on one side to cover my flash red Y-fronts. These days I'd need a cherry-picker to get me over a fence. :(
