In the nineteen twenties, these trousers were the rage at Oxford. They weren't flared from the knee, just very roomy, and probably only fitted where they touched! They were the original Oxford Bags!

What do you get if you go to Oxbridge then ?

Pink trousers or a baggy bag ?

Comfortable trousers are a must when there's a lot of bending to do...
