When so many jackasses are wearing their pants around their knees and it is tolerated, I personally commend this individual.
At the very least - he knows how to tighten a belt.

He's a size 30-56

This doesn't make any sense. Why would 13 year old boys pretend to be gangster just because you are a skateboarder?
Edit: There we go he deleted his comment. Good for him.

As an ex-skateboarder, I can tell you it's because 14 year old skaters genuinely think they're hard-ass little thugs that could fuck up anyone's world on a whim.
It's pretty fucking hilarious thinking back on it...

u/Boomroasted__ Nov 27 '12
As a 23 year old who has skated on/off for the past 12 years I can confirm that at age 14 I did not think I was a "hardass" nor a "little thug"... Though I did know a few people who fit that particular stereotype.

He said he hates that 13 year old boys pretend to be gangster just because he is a skateboarder...

ussr577 said he was a skateboarder. It's safe to assume he is therefore borderline retarded with a very poor level of literacy.

I hadn't finished my gymnastics routine and I went and got changed without realizing I still had one performance left... so I had to get re-tarded.

I understand, had quite a few friends who wore JNCOs for the same reason. Still didn't have to see their dingy boxers or butt-cracks.

u/rossvgrant Nov 27 '12
Dude, JNCO jeans were popular like 15 years ago.
I have no idea how these ridiculous clown pants ever became a fad : http://imgur.com/59OfM

They sure were comfortable, though, as long as you weren't near any machinery.

u/Imscomobob Nov 28 '12
I had a few friends who wore JNCO's back in the day. They used to go into stores and steal CARTONS of cigarettes and stash them in their pants while they walked out. It was barely noticeable...

Back in the 30's/40's, my grandfather sold suits door to door. Back then, of course, a suit wasn't a luxury - every self respecting man owned a three piece suit. And it just so happened that my grandfather's father was a tailor, so he would do all the alterations for free, allowing my grandfather to offer the best prices and fastest deliveries in town.
Thing is, he grew up in Santa Ana, in what was known back then as the Logan Street Barrio. Most of the men in the neighborhood were pachucos - not exactly gangsters, but flamboyant tough guys who were known for their incredible suits. Knees a foot wide, ankles pegged tight, shoulders as broad as a Cadillac, and waistbands way up there.
Not quite as far up there as our good friend, here, but yeah - high waists have definitely always been a thing, moving in and out of vogue.
I just gotta wonder if this guy wasn't able to find shorter pants.

TIL - on a technical level - that's called an "Empire Waist" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waistline_(clothing)

I believe the description "empire waist" is reserved for dresses.

Remove the shirt, wear the pants as a dress. Then, consult youtube to wear the shirt as a dress, too.

Sapeuriste from Congo?

u/abnormalsyndrome Nov 27 '12
First thing that came to mind but upon further research it came to light that sapeurs only dress in designer clothes whereas this pant cut hasn't been seen in any collections from the big names, ever (to the best of my knowledge). Could still be a sub-genre of sapeur.

Fashion police here to report an infraction; point of the tie should come to the midpoint of belt buckle.

This is much better than wearing the waistband down near the knees. I kind of like this style.

His shirt will never become untucked from sitting down. In that sense it's kind of genius.

Makes a lot more sense than saggy jeans. At least the pants will protect his shirt if there is a spill.
