	Parachute pants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Parachute pants (or Hammer pants after MC Hammer) are a style of pants or trousers characterised by the use of synthetic material and extremely baggy cuts.
		Due to the use of nylon in parachutes, and the large baggy appearance of the pants, the pants rapidly became known as parachute pants.
		Parachute pants were then used primarily in choreographed hip hop and rhythm and blues dancing, with the light, baggy fabric and folds visually enhancing the flowing rhythm of the dancers' moves, while allowing for greater comfort and mobility.
