Don't know if its true, but I heard somewhere that those super saggy pants started in the prison gangs.... Anyone else hear this?
Yes. The story goes, as I heard it, that prisoners get pants that sorta fit, and large is better than small, so often they sag. Kids in the LA area picked up on the idea of mimicking prison pants, and started the whole thing. Fashion designers who watch the kids in LA saw it, and passed it on to everyone else.
Can anyone confirm this? I'm looking it up on Snopes too. Do they always know what they are doing there?
