Sansabelt

Sansabelt is a brand of men's trousers. The trousers have a wide webbed elastic band sewn into the waist, which is intended to make a belt or suspenders unnecessary, hence the name sans a belt. The slacks come in a classic fit with roomy legs in a dressy or dress casual fabric. Sansabelt slacks come in three styles—Western-top pockets with flat front, side pockets with flat front, and pleated with side pockets.
