To fix this, Ossoff needs to find trousers with more room in the seat and possibly a longer back rise so he has more material to drape over his tush. Depending on the size and roundness of his cheeks in relation to his waist, he may also need darts above the back pockets.

This appears to be a recurring problem for Ossoff, which suggests that his backside is larger and rounder than what most brands account for in their trouser patterns — even with them building a longer back rise for the higher-end of this spectrum.

But when viewed from the back, we start to see problems. The size of his derrière is causing the back pocket to gape. On a pair of properly tailored trousers, the jets — which is the narrow strip of fabric on the "lips" of the pocket — should come close to touching.

However, not all men are shaped the same, so whether a particular back rise works for you depends on the shape and size of your seat. For instance, Jon Ossoff's trousers fit cleanly when viewed from the front — no wrinkles or rippling; material drapes without interruption.

In fact, most manufacturers know this, which is why they typically build in a very long back rise. The term "back rise" refers to the measurement from the crotch seam to the top of the trouser's waistband, as measured from the back. Brands build-in a long back rise for comfort.
