I wore flares in the 70s, (and a Kaftan at times), Kiwi Classics are nothing like flares, they're about all I wear now, comfortable, reasonably hard wearing, and very important to me - two zipped pockets, one for keys, one for cash, (I don't count the back pockets, never use them for anything). The only improvements I'd like to see would be a second cargo pocket, go back to the older style side-release clip on the belt and sew the damned fly button on a bit better, I invariably have to do that after about a month.
