70s Teen Trousers

[Funkydad]

High, first post.
I was a 70s kid back in the UK.
I'm looking for the name of the type of trousers we had back then.
They were made of cotton (I think) they were not Jeans though, they were flared at the bottom but also had turn-ups.
As well as normal pockets, they had pockets on the sides of the legs.
Back here in Wales, they were called patch pockets, but I know they were called something else.
They had a waistband as well.
Any help would be great,

They sound like what we called 'painter's pants' in the mid 70s - usually white cotton, and often worn with a T-shirt and tartan scarf if you were a Bay City Rollers fan....

Cargo pants or parachute pants?
I remember both with pockets on the sides of the legs, though parachute pants weren't cotton and were popular in the 1980s.
And I remember painter's pants, too! In our neck of the woods, they had to be light cream-colored cotton.

Loved painter's pants in the 70s! But I don't remember them as being flared - more straight legged. And they had the loop on the outer leg for hanging a tool from.

I call those Carpenter pants. Don't recall them being flared, or having turn-ups.

I was a 70s UK kid too.

Painters pants were white, side pockets and the loop to hang your wiping cloth. Everyone wore them for years! In my design business, paint contractors still wore them. Some paint stores carry them.

Carpenter pants followed with the same design but in blue denim.

You can buy painters pants by Dickies on Amazon.

I'm a plein aire artist who paints when traveling in my charming little Class C RV.

I'm putting a pair on my Christmas list! Delightful thread!
