I never understood or knew where the  sagging and bagging look came from until I read (of all people's book) Charles Barley's "Who's Affraid of a Large Black Man".
He was interviewing Jesse Jackson who explained it(paraphrasing)  "that the people who came from jail pants would hang low like that because they couldn't have belts  and in the tough neighborhoods they were thought to be cool because they went to jail and so there fore they were tough and to be emulated".
Now, I have no clue as to the validity but, it seems to make sense.



... and at the times I saw this over the weekend.. it was all skinny little white dudes!

Makes no sense but I'm a mom, I'm supposed to be out of it.

I may wear rope instead of belts, but that is just so I always have some handy... does he have a lace in case he forgets to tie his shoes and one breaks off?

I don't know why a long shoe lace, except he probably didn't have a belt of the right color to match the pants. His sister is less of a fashionista than he is. Hell, he owns more shoes than I do!

Status: offline 		It's not a "big city" fad either...I've seen saggers out in rural Ohio!  Wimmin, too, were spotted in my local Kroger store.  I was wondering if she had hidden suspenders to keep her pants on, since they were definitely on the downhill side of her butt!

LOL

Don't have to worry about that. Between his older sister who would ride him mercilessly, his girlfriend and his allegiance to paintball - I think we're safe!

Paintballers  all wear XXL stuff, but mainly so when they get hit, it's only the clothes and doesn't hurt.
