    OMG... I'm going nuts the last few months... Where in this sh!t hoel of a town(dublin) can I find a decent pair of Flares. Everywhere I look i see baggie or very thight jeans... baggy cord... ffs. I want real Flares. The only ones that I have found that fit right our the "PoP" cords but they are absolutely terrible quality and rip in the crotch area too easily.

    I'm pretty sure that I'll never find then in dublin(i've been most places)/.. Any help would be welcome. I'll even buy them off your arse :)

    [note] I'm a 32/33 Waist, Length 32-34, Must be Flared and Must be thight at the front of the thigh...

    Going to the Dam next month and any advice about where to buy Flares of a very good type would be welcome ;)

    There used to be a place in the Georges St arcade calle Retro. i dunno if they do any old school clothes anymore though. it looks a bit trendy now

    I would have thought you'd be able to get them in The Eager Beaver in Temple bar, right behind the Central Bank. They cater for all kinds of retro styles

    Retro = Baggy NOT flared

    Eager Beaver = the PoP sh!t i was talking about

    I got a pair of jeans recently - make is "Jack & Jones" - which are flared. They aren't bell-bottoms like but they are tight around the thigh and flare from the knee down. Should be available in most boggo jeans shops. Hopefully they're flared enough for your needs. :)

    'Harlequin', don't know the name of the street though... though they mostly sell 'pop' stuff ...i've never found them to be shoddy ... :/

    have you tried flip? just by central bank. i usually find they aint really long enough but hey i dont know what the guys trousers are like!
    i've been finding it really difficult to find flares in the last few months too. it seems that the 80s are back in fashion and they've brought straight legs with them :mad:

    Chaos Try the BootCut jeans. I wear them. They are a little flared but no tooo flared and fit tight in the hips and thigh area. Try online shopping?
