Guys, as I mentioned before, at least on the operator style of the Woolrich pants, the waistband isn't all that stretchy. There's a little give, about enough for a reasonably slim IWB rig, but it's not like a pair of Mom jeans.
With a good belt, and those pants, I've been carrying a 5" 1911. So there is no problem at all with this particular type of elastic and a heavy, all-steel pistol.
I don't think anybody here would recommend carrying a heavy pistol without a good belt, would they?
So you might consider that you are knocking a product you haven't tried, and possibly giving bad press to people who might look the product up, without any actual knowledge of the product.
And then you might wonder why major clothing manufacturers don't do much innovating for concealed carry...
Well, I wasn't trying to knock anything, I was just expressing my skepticism. In the pics, the waistband looks like that really stretchy elastic, which fails miserably at holding up a steel 1911, even with a good belt (BTDT), but if you say these ought to work, I believe you.
