Sagging Tip #69: Silverback

If you’re rocking an extreme sag (wearing your pants mid-thigh or lower—also called thuggin) the tail of your pants (the flat back with the pockets) will become huge and the pants’ legs will almost disappear. This huge back area is then called the silverback, just like that gorilla, making himself look big and intimidating. Make sure that the tail is flat and without major folds.

Sags are usually put in categories depending on where the belt is worn. Sometimes this can be a bit confusing, because in some cases a ½ butt sag can look low (if the pants have a low crotch) and in other cases it can look as if there’s no sag at all (if the pants have a short crotch).

I think it’s easier to put sags in categories by looking at where the back pockets are placed. This way a sag is always called by how it actually looks like and not by where the belt is worn.

If the back pockets are above the knee pits, it’s a minor sag (usually encompassing everything from ¼ butt to ½ butt and sometimes even to ¾ butt).

If the back pockets are touching the knee pits, it’s a medium sag (usually from ¾ butt to below butt and sometimes even lower).

If the back pockets are right at the knee pits, it’s a major sag (usually from below butt to mid-thigh).

And if the back pockets are below the knee pits, it’s an extreme sag (usually from mid-thigh to knees).

This way if something is called a “medium sag” everyone would know how it looks like, while calling it a “1/2 butt sag” doesn’t really tell much about how the pants actually look like.
