    Hi all, i spent yesterday looking around Dublin city centre looking for flared jeans for my brother who is finding it impossible to source any.

    He is a size 12 shoe size so all other makes of jeans dont sit well.

    I tried Jack and Jones and even they dont stock them anymore.

    Can anyone advise me of where i could source some jeans at a reasonable price under €75 or so.

    Thanks all in advance : )

    Cheers well i will try find them, anything above this price is ridiculous and a rip off, just spoke to Jack and Jones and they have a vice range which they will have in stock soon and they are flared and under €75 so will see what they are like..

    Flared/bootcut jeans are not flattering and being bottom heavy they will draw the eye towards the shoe. A straight jean with a fuller cut will be a much better option so it's hem width you should be looking at. If he wants to disguise his foot size stick to plain footwear, avoid logo's contrasting laces or bright colors. A dark jean and dark footwear with lighter colors on top should balance him out.

    You might find some in Eager Beaver in Temple Bar as they do a lot of retro gear however they may be more the 1970s style extra wide flares which may not be what he wants. TBH, I rarely see anyone wearing wide or flared jeans anymore.

    I'm size 11 and the slimmer/straight jeans sit very well with any shoes I wear - they don't come across as clown feet whatsoever.

    River Island had some recently enough. Couple of other Eager Beaver style shops in Temple Bar also do them - can't recall the names but they are on the same street as The Foggy Dew pub.

    No i've seen all different types of jeans on him and flare and boot cut suit him best as he is 6 foot tall and a size 36-38 he looks stupid in any other shaped jean and only wears plain dark neutral shoes. Everyone's body shape is different. The flares seem to balance his body out as he is well built.
