Pure genius in design. The elastic waistband moves with you, not against you. Far superior to the so called "flex/stretch" waistband products with a little spandex that barely flex. Drawstring inside also smart so it does not hang down between your legs for all to see lol. Yes it has Belt Loops !! The belt loops are mandatory for keeping the pants from falling down on you and extend the life of pants for when the waistband begins to lose its elasticity (I use a stretchy belt with them). Fit is relaxed and it's perfect. They're classy looking and roughly 10X better looking than sweats/gym bro pants/sweaty polyester joggers. The whole pant flexes with you due to the 2% elastane content. The whole pant lets your skin breathe thanks to the 98% cotton content. And btw, it's a very high quality/soft cotton. As for miniscule complaints: a dark gray/navy blue color would be nice, it's tapered a bit too much at the foot for easily getting in/out of them and I wish they had dyed the pockets (bright white lining) the same color as the pants. I've bought 5 pairs so far and have no plans to go back to the older style waistband as long as they keep making these.

Loose and comfortable pants, they look great as long as you don’t mind a looser fit. I usually wear a waist 32 and small was too tight but medium was perfect.

I have plenty of pants and jeans, these however are like pyjamas in terms of comfort, and provide decent enough look to go to work with no cap. I wish they brought more options to the Turkey market so I can get more colours.
