Very cool pants! And, we always, always called these bell-bottoms. "Hippie bell-bottoms," as someone else suggested, would be a perfect description. These would not have been called flares by those of us old enough to have worn them the first time around. The design was likely part of the entire look influenced, or spawned by, by the Beatles' "Mahareshi/Psychedelic" period, thus the ethnic look.
All or most of the major manufacturers of clothing would have made similar styles. A lot of the big ones have been named, and Lee was another. I think I wore mostly Lees & Levis....
