They've been in and out of business for a few years... were around in 2005 but didn't see them anywyehre this year. Shame, because they are great trousers (I still have at least 3 pairs of the trousers that I wear regularly) and were colourful to say the least! A quick google got me to a porn site so be careful what you search for!

Spaw - a pair of mine are indeed ripped, but I keep them anyway!

They're really comfortable cotton trousers that don't have zippers or buttons. The back of the waistband is elastic and the front has two flaps that fold over to gather in the slack. These flaps have industrial sized velcro pads on them to keep them in place. They're great for festivals because they are lightweight, multi-sex, adjustable and have pockets (a rarety in ladies trousers).

I managed to wear a pair all the way through being pregnant (washed them occasionally of course) and they expanded nicely with me. I've got a pair in green & white mattress ticking which are perfect for those 'dress like a pirate' days or if you want to look like you're wearing green striped pyjamas.

And they come in the most fantastic patterns and fabric colours!

I tried Alltheweb but it really depends on the words you try.

The outfit from Bridgewater definiteley ceased manufacture because I contacted them a few years ago.

I am sure the current TM holders were at Chippenham this year.

The Chippenham stall was the Bridgwater people - probably selling off the last stock. PM me and I'll get you a phone number

I didn't see Iona on the stall - nor the hairdresser either. Maybe they sold on to more Bridgewater people. PM on it's way.

FWIW "rippa trousers" is a googlewhack - you get the Mudcat - on Alltheweb anyway.

Nothing else.
