I don't remember them having a low waist; they fit just like all the other jeans I wore. I do, however, remember wearing a big pink Goody comb in the right back pocket, where the Star was. Cool jeans, man.

There used to be different color khaki pants made by Brittania. Istill have one pair of Grey Khaki's. My wife will throw them away and i'll get them and hide them for a couple of months and then sneak them back into the wash cycle. You cannot buy light blue or grey anymore. These are really broken in and comfortable. They have double pleats. I have had to DUCKTAPE the pockets and trim the shreds of wear at the bottom of the legs, but they really wear well. I would love to get my hands on some more. Tom

I wore these exclusively from 1976 to 1979 when I went back to Levis. They were sold at Bloomingdales in Manhattan -- I remembered I loved them so much, when Bloomingdales didn't have a particular style, I traveled out to A&S in downtown Brooklyn to buy it. I even had a Britannia denim vest with leather trim (that matched one pair jeans which also had leather trim on the back pocket). I do not recall any wide, straight models. As was the fashion, all of the pairs I had were classic, flared bellbottoms. One pair -- I think it was the last one I bought, and was a bleached (light blue) denim -- was so flared, the bell at the bottom extended out virtually to the toes of my rather large feet (on which I often wore clogs).

I loved my Brittania Jeans. I wore them until they could no longer be worn. They were the best. My favorite pair had a low waist and hugged my hips perfectly. What I wouldn't give for a fit like that today.

i just bought a pair of brittania shorts at the local thrift store this morning. love 'em. they still had the tags on them and everything.
