Rare 1970s old-store stock 100% cotton denim flares in a range of killer medium wash blues. 

Belt loops, marigold top stitching, copper rivets and lightning bolt branded button. Leather branded rear patch. Front metal Scovill zipper. Lower rise.

These flared legs make your legs look longlonglong. Hems are serged and were intended to be cuffed as shown on model or hemmed to suit the new owner perfectly. Model shown is a size 2 and is about 5'7" in flat shoes. The extra long inseams are also great for taller babes.

Labeled "Lightning Bolt Flares." A division of Big Smith of Missouri. These beauties are deadstock/unworn and made in the USA -- the quality is similar to what you get in high end premium denim today.

All accessories (belts, jewelry, crinolines, pins, etc.) are for style inspiration only unless indicated.

♛Condition

These are deadstock/new-old store stock, unworn and never washed, all with original tags attached. Jeans are all individuals with slight variations in the wash color as is depicted, but all are the same style. They are 45+ years old and authentic vintage.  No issues, but individual pieces may show normal subtle hints of their age, part of the wonderful character of vintage denim.

Note: vintage denims begin their life stiff and break in to fit you like a glove, and every wash makes them better, unlike many modern denims. 

Return & Refund Policy

Vintage is sold as-is and all sales are final. All vintage garments will show signs of previous wear and use, including deadstock and unworn pieces.
