1922 (?) Flared Pants found for $6 - need help for proper dating advice!

I found these at a thrift store today for $6. They seem to be a handmade pair of flared pants, they have a very unique piece in the front that I haven’t seen on other pairs of pants ever, with 3 flaps and 14 buttons to fully close them. I couldn’t find any exact match on the zipper but I know Talon made zippers prior to 1920s, and the lack of belt loops / a tightening system on the back does support the idea that they could be from 1922. It does seem odd but maybe make sense that someone would stitch the year they made these into them.

I also can’t make out the chain stitched name that is on the front flap, but I’m very interested in hearing potential theories and any help dating!!

1950s Brent by Montgomery Ward, paisley print loop collar

Picked this up awhile ago at a private buy for an estate. One of my favorite things I have found over the last year. Unfortunately, it's one size too small for me... I've finally decided to let it go, but thought I'd share here first.

This is a pretty rare piece that doesn't come up everyday. The fact that so many things point to to 50s but the print it's more 60s makes me think this was a transitional piece where Carol Brent was experimenting with emerging trends.
