1970s | Margropin | Slate Blue High Waist Flares - Deadstock - w26

Description:

Item: High waist flared trousers in slate blue. Flat front with a waistband, belt loops, zip fly fastening, and wide flared leg. Original tags still attached. Tiny hole to the rear, noted below.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Margropin

Condition: Deadstock, unworn with original tags attached. Tiny hole to the rear seam area, barely noticeable and easily overlooked in wear. Reflected in the price.

Provenance Note: Margropin was a British trouser manufacturer producing well-made everyday tailoring through the 1970s, and this pair has sat unworn with its original tags for fifty years. The slate blue is a practical, versatile colour that sits between navy and grey and works with a wide range of tops, and the wide flare and high waist are properly proportioned for the decade. A genuine deadstock find from a period when British manufacturing was still producing trousers built to last.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.

Buying true vintage clothing:

When buying true vintage clothing, you are buying a piece of clothing as an investment. We believe most of our true vintage items will hold or increase in value in years to come. We hope you will cherish your purchase.
