Created by Brian Hinton, a Cloverdale Middle School teacher in Little Rock, Sag-N, Inc. offers the highest quality of Hip-Hop products on the market today. Since 2007, it has provided superior service to customers and has assisted them in achieving their goals. Our years of experience and commitment to excellence have earned Sag-N the reputation as the best Hip-Hop product line in the area. The vision of Sag-N came from Hinton’s observation that several students were not allowed to go to their classes due to sagging pants too low. To solve the issue, Hinton designed jeans with pockets 3 inches lower than the norm to give the illusion of sagging, thus Sag-N was born.
