Hi, are you great at online shopping? I'm searching for something very particular, and coming up empty handed. Maybe you love a good challenge, or you're just bored at work. See if you can help me locate what I'm after:

Thanks for taking a look at my post. I'm a man living in the United States, trying to buy some pants online.

My default website for most things is Amazon, partly due to free shipping, partly due to usually being able to easily make returns, and partly due to the large volume of material available. However, a recent search for pants has left me frustrated and ready to give up. You see, the filtering system on Amazon is not very good. I got too many inaccurate results from all my searches. By that I mean literally hundreds of hits what were not valid.

Here are my search criteria: I've recently gained a lot of weight, and plan to lose it. Most of my old pants don't fit me around the waist any more, and it's embarrassing and uncomfortable.

So, first of all, I'm looking for mens casual/dress pants that have a hidden stretch panel in the waistband. Not a totally stretch waist style, but something subtle that doesn't look like the waist of sweat pants.

Next, since I hope to dump these pants eventually, by losing weight, I'd like them to be inexpensive. To me, a pair of pants should cost no more than twenty to thirty dollars. ( l live on a fixed income).

Next, material. I'd like a blend of cotton and polyester, mostly cotton with just enough poly to keep the crease in and so I don't have to iron the pants when they come out of the clothes dryer.

Next, color. I'd like something simple and timeless like plain black, dark grey or regular khaki.

Next, size. I need 30 inch inseam and 33 inch waist.

Next, style. I want the front to be Flat, not pleated, and the legs to be the modern tapered slim style. Not skinny jean style but slim.

Next, service. I don't want any hassles if I have to return the pants because I don't like them.

Pretty tall order, right?

That's roughly the style of material, yes, mostly cotton with a little poly to keep them crisp.

However, if your one-word reply is meant to suggest I purchase that brand, I think you're a little off the mark.
Levi brands tend to be more expensive than not.

Sans A Belt is exactly what you're looking for. You may have to dig a bit to find them on sale. Looks like MSRP is $75. You can always find Dockers on sale.
