James Head, the designer behind the iconic “Hammer pants” joined us on The Nine, marking four decades in fashion and heading into Fashion Week Sacramento.
His work has graced the cover of Rolling Stone, People and the stage of the MTV Music Awards.
Head is an Oakland Tech graduate who would go on to design his own line of clothing, SagWear, which sold at stores like JCPenney and Dillard's.
Here's a look at some of his patents and patterns for making your own Hammer parachute pants back in the day. What a throwback!
