This "invisible elastic waistband” is a REAL GOD for guys like me who suffer from a deep stomach that makes their pants slip and fall in great embarrassment. the discomfort of having to tighten the belt which compresses and sometimes stops circulation in the waist! I decided to button up my suspenders and was seriously considering suspenders (suspenders are attached with buttons that need to be sewn to the waist of the pants.) By accident I stumbled upon this unobtrusive elastic waistband that freed me from uncomfortable suspenders that cannot be completely hidden. I can wear my cargo shorts, jeans and chinos with this belt with the confidence to hold my pants or shorts and get rid of the embarrassment of those open braces. I just wish there were more standard colors like tan, tan, gray etc. I would definitely buy them.!
