Phat Pants

Phat pants or phatties are a cut of jeans worn by male ravers that are fitted at the waist but get wider down the legs all the way to the ground where they enclose the feet due to their width. Phat pants are usually worn by ravers and can be used as a visual identifier. Usually made of denim, but can be made of any material. Male Ravers will often customise their phat pants by covering them with reflective materials of their own design, the brighter the better. This can help with recognition at raves.Phat pants are often worn with braces that are not designed to be worn over the shoulders. They are quite often too short to do this anyway. They hang loosely on the pants from carabiners at the waist, and are usually brightly coloured webbing with a reflective strip sewn down the middle. Usually, the binding ring at the back is a heavy metal, which helps the braces to swing out in an arc around the boy or man when spinning.
Popularity
Phat pants were adorned by male ravers in the early to mid '90s and can still be seen in the early to mid '00s and later. In most portions of North America, however, the reign of the phatties has passed and they are steadily becoming less prominent in the rave scene.
Designs
Phat pants come in many forms and designs, ready made or can be made to specific requirements of the guy.Phat pants are frequently adorned with a multitude of large pockets giving ravers a place to hold their water bottles, sweets, and whatever else may be necessary to get them through a weekend of partying.
