Wore pants with gut that's got too big for? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outgrew

'got too big for?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'wore pants with gut' is the wordplay.
'pants with' indicates anagramming the letters (UK informal term for 'nonsense' or 'rubbish').
'wore' mixed up with 'gut' can make 'OUTGREW'.

'that's' is the link.

(Another definition for outgrew that I've seen is " Became larger than, plant or person (7)".)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
