They are pants. They are not short. And they rise. Amen.
The rise on pants is the distance between the crotch and waistband.
BOXERS
You measure from the seam at bottom of crotch to the bottom of the leg.
unpick the waistband with a seam ripperTry on the pants without the waistband to see where you want the waistband to be in relation to the crotch distance from it. Mark it with a pinsew in the waistband around the area marked with the pin.this is one method of altering the rise of pants.

The measure of the steepness of line expressed as rise over run is called slope.
Centimetres.
The average size 8 waist measurement in Australian clothing is 63cms. Each size increases by 5cms thereafter ..ie: size 10 is 68cms and size 12 is 73cms. Just keep in mind that the waist measurement still goes on the actual waist... not the lower position that pants are worn today. If you are buying pants on Ebay or such, it is best to measure the rise also... which is waist to crotch measurement. The best way to do this is to measure a favourite pair of pants rather than measuring yourself.
The slope. Example - a 12/12 pitch means for every foot of span there is one foot of rise.
