| Saggy pants garter belt invented |
| 2010-12-18 |
| [Emirates 24/7] Looking for the gift for someone who has everything? Now you can help your favorite urban fashion consumer wear his pants low - but not too low. A New York man has invented "Subs" - part suspenders, part garter belt - to help those who like saggy pants wear their droopy drawers without dropping them. The belt features clips that allow the wearer to adjust how low the waistband goes. "Instead of going over the shoulders on the outside of the shirt, Subs cinch around the waist and are worn underneath the shirt, creating a subtle, yet very distinct and edgy look," says the product's website on www.hatchadventures.com. The belt's 43-year-old inventor tells he got the idea from watching young men hold on to the waistband of their pants while climbing the subway stairs. "Sagging is a huge issue in my community," entrepreneur Andrew Lewis told the paper. "I spent a lot of time observing and I noticed that even for saggers, there is a point which even they're not comfortable with how their jeans were falling." |

| #7 20 years behind somebody else's culture. Hatch Adventures, great name for a place peddling ass suspenders. If it is such a huge issue, perhaps a fund could be established to install escalators for the subways - very basic 1st gen escalators with huge horsepower. lookin like a fool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMwhl4IrPNc |

| #6 I saw a teenage boy like that in a convenience store, and knowing how hypersensitive they are about adult male approval, I decided to fun him. "Son, if your Mama is going to make you wear your brothers hand-me-down pants, you're gonna need a belt or suspenders or you're gonna look like a fool...And your baseball cap's on backwards. The visor's supposed to go in front. That's why they put it there." It was fun watching his ego crinkle up like that. |

| #5 TW, that's where it all started. Prison inmates are not allowed belts, so some of them walked around with their pants half off. Now my nephews aspire to dress like convicts. Sigh. |

| #4 I thought police like the fashion, because it's hard for miscreants to run away when their pants are falling down? |

| #3 "Sagging is a huge issue in my community," Yeah. Might be one of the reasons why your "community" is so fucked up... |
