Hammer pants

Hammer pants are modified baggy pants, tapered at the ankle with a sagging rise, made suitable for hip hop dancing.

[3] Hammer's specialized clothing line came in a variety of colors and were usually shiny and flashy-styled, as often seen throughout his hip-hop career during talk show appearances, live concerts and music videos (including "U Can't Touch This" and "Pray").

The customized pants appeared again on Hammertime, his 2009 TV reality show.

[4] In 2022, Bobby Brown claimed he started wearing the "diaper pants" that Hammer altered and made famous, on his A&E show Bobby Brown: Every Little Step.

[5] However, Brown wore a less sagging variation during some concerts and in music videos, such as "My Prerogative" (1988) and "Every Little Step" (1989).
