i also hate the belt + bunching up effect. however i leave about a finger width of space so that it's possible for me to breathe, especially after eating large meals.

What about the crotch area? Do you leave enough room for an unexpected stiffy?

I have an extra pleat made into my bespoke drawers. To accomodate my monstrous stiffy.
to the OP, it should be tight enough where a belt is never necessary to hold your pants up, loose enough so that it's comfortable.

+1 The belt is pretty much just for decoration.Originally Posted by Dragon
This is how I've always measured well-fitting pants: that they should sit snug, but comfortable, and remain on the wearer's waist/hips without the aid of a belt.
