Hey Guys,

First post here and hoping you can explain something to me. I saw a pair of paints I was interested in, but they were listed as having back darts. I don't know what those are. Little help?

I've seen back darts in pants that were taken in at the waist. They were on either side above the back pocket(s). Darts overall give a more fitted appearance.

I'm sure I've seen them on women's pants too.

they can help lift up your ass if they are right above the rear pockets

Yes by unskilled dry cleaning places and half-ass wanna be tailors who do not know how to properly take in a waist.
