I remember my Mom bought me some slacks as a Christmas present that looked just about like that coat in the pic above. Those pants had HUGE cuffs that were 3 inches tall.
Now imagine brown and yellow plaid slacks with 3 inch cuffs. And that was the STYLE!
I think I wore them a couple of times to not make my mom mad. All I wanted was normal jeans. Those were hard to find because they all had bell bottoms or worse the Elephant foot. Dang the 70s were a tough time to find normal clothes.
She also bought me a lime green Leisure suit. Oh the huge manatee.
