There was a resurgence of the fad for Oxford Bags when I was in school in the 1970's in England. Oxford Bags were the kind of pants the Bay City Rollers wore. I really wanted a pair of these and some platform shoes, so I could be as popular with the girls as Anthony Quinn was (not the actor - I had a classmate of the same name who in my estimation was the class "cool guy"). My Mum wouldn't buy me the platform shoes, but she did buy me a variant of Oxford Bags, which we called "Patch Pockets" and which looked like astronaut pants - almost like what we call cargo pants nowadays, but baggier. They were a rather boring brown color, so I could wear them to school. I must have looked like a right twerp, but I was the happiest kid on the planet
