I said it once....

... and I'll say it again.
Yep, with the continued resurgence and heavy referencing of the early nineties in everything that is 'youth culture', I'm ever so happy to report the return of the 'pin-roll'. Otherwise known as the 'pin tuck' method of turning up one's trouser leg to create a tapering effect of varying proportions. The pin roll technique was popular in that period, and grew inline with the widened audience for and influence of dancehall and ragga music. Ragga stars such as Shabba Ranks were well reknowned for their tastes in ridiculously baggy pants that required an especially adpated roll up method in order to prevent them dragging under the backs of shoes (a very popular style being commonly known as 'raggas' were a very slimline low profile desert boot). Hence, the pin roll was worn and influence it did. Maxi Priest and Shabba can be seen in full pin roll tapered pant glory in the video for 'House Call'... a classic if ever there were one!
