Before the early 2000s, every skier was at least 7'3" companies catered to these giants by providing t shirts large enough. Then the new generation of skiers cam about that were for some reason much shorter than the previous monsters. Clothing companies hadnt prepared for this, resulting in kids wearing baggy tshirts, listening to rap music, and smoking str8 reef ganja while fucking your bitch

to confuse the police while fleeing. The baggy t-shirt will sway in the wind so the enemy will be decided and miss their shot.

Skiers wear larger clothes and listen to rap just in case they encounter bears in the woods. As we know, the safest way to survive an encounter with a bear is to make yourself appear larger, baggy clothes are the ace of spades to get the job done. You also need to be very loud, this is where rap music is key. Rap is very loud music. Listen to any song by waka flocka flame and try to convince me that he isn't trying to scare off a bear.

Gangsters got the baggy look from the blood gang in the 70s in 80s. Whenever you go to jail, they take your belt. When a blood got out they would continue to wear the baggy clothing as a sign of dominance.

Skaters then picked up on it

Followed by snowboarders

Followed by Mick Comte

Followed by Jon Brogan

And then baggy clothing went mainstream.

Because the gangsters are broke and have to buy clearance tall shit for cheap, just like broke skiers.
