1970s | Stirrup Flared Trousers | Tan – w32

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s flared trousers in warm tan with integrated stirrup straps. Classic high-waisted construction with clean waistband and rear zip pocket detail. The trousers are cut fitted through the waist and thigh before opening into a strong flare from the knee. The built-in stirrup straps pass under the foot, a practical feature designed to keep the trousers neatly tensioned and the leg line perfectly extended.

Era:
1970s

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Fabric remains strong with excellent colour throughout. Light, honest wear consistent with age and storage, but overall well preserved with no structural issues.

Provenance Note:
Stirrup trousers appeared frequently in late-1960s and 1970s fashion, particularly in tailored and ski-influenced designs where maintaining a clean leg line was essential. The feature not only served a practical purpose but also enhanced the dramatic flare silhouette that defined the decade. A distinctive vintage design detail that gives these trousers real period character.

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.
