Military Seafarer Trousers History:
The history of Seafarer jeans begins way back in 1896, when Tony Anzalone, an Italian immigrant and former U.S. sailor nicknamed Seagoing Tony, opened a small tailor shop next to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and began working with the U.S. Navy until he created the original design that would be adopted as the official uniform for more than 100 years. This jeans style was named the flared pants: born with a military purpose, over the course of more than a century of history they became a symbol of peace that helped lead the 1968 demonstrations, until they became the cult jeans that throughout the 1970s became popular among the style icons of the day, such as Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot and Farah Fawcett.
