"Baggies" was a name given to a particular type of jean in the early 1980s in the United Kingdom.The jeans were designed to be loose fitting around the leg, with a tight zip or button around the ankle, and had a number of zips with pockets primarily down the front of the jean. Typically there may have been ten or more pockets on the front of the jeans.
A popular 1970s Scottish boy band, The Bay City Rollers wore a variant of Oxford Bags with tartan trimmings that fell short of ankle-length.
