Men's plaid wool bell-bottom trousers – W: 34 / EU: 40/42 – 1970s

Now this one has a real 70s vibe. It's a pair of men's trousers. Its high waist, large grey checks highlighted with fine pink lines, and especially its authentic bell-bottom flare give it a very distinct retro silhouette. And the fact that it's handmade only adds to the charm of the piece.

The fabric no longer has a composition tag, but it feels like wool. It has a lovely structure and a long cut that works particularly well with ankle boots or slightly platform shoes.

👗 To help you visualize, I am 1.72m tall (without heels) and usually wear a size 38 (US 6). Originally a men's model, but its high-waisted, bell-bottom cut makes it easy to wear as a unisex piece. Shown here on a size 38 frame to show how it looks with a looser fit.

📏 Since vintage sizes often differ from modern sizes, I recommend comparing the listed measurements with those of a similar garment you already own to ensure a good fit.

Care instructions

• Wool cycle wash
• Do not tumble dry
• Flat drying recommended

A word from Ginette
Now this… this is the kind of pair of trousers I hope to find when I go thrifting! A true bell-bottom cut, handmade construction, and that lovely check: it already has so much personality without needing to do too much. And I must admit, the silhouette once worn is stunning. If it had been my size, I would have kept it for myself.
