Currently, I'm a waist-size 38, and I realize I need to take a couple of inches off (That's an admission for sure!)
In the meantime, I need some flexible-fitting pants. "Flexible" meaning they'll fit WITHOUT falling off!
Until recently, I have purchased "side-elastic" pants, but these stretch only so far. There's another type of pants called "E-Z Fit" which, according to the product description, can stretch out up to 4 inches! But the description stops there!
So - Here's my specific question: Is that extra 4 inches supposed mean 4 inches beyond the stated initial waist size?
Example: pants stated waist-size is 38 inches. 38 plus 4 is 42. Is that interpretation correct?
I'm by no means an expert, and this is more just a virtual bump to your topic so someone who would know better than I can answer, but I would presume that 38" would indeed be the initial waist size, with the extra 4" on top of that.
OT I know, but I checked out your webpage...you sure have a lot of info compiled there!! Very nice, although it could do with a little decoration (I read your disclaimer ).

I believe that to be correct. I bought some Docker shorts last summer that were like that last summer, and when I got them they fit right. Then after playing so much golf and eating better all summer, I had to eventually poke 2 extra holes in my belt to make them fit. So, the size that it gives should be the standard size, and then it goes up 4 inches. Of course, you can always email the company, or whoever, is selling them, and ask to be sure.
I have pants in my closet for everything from a 36 to a 32-inch waist. I can tell you from experience that there is no pair of pants that will stretch that much and look good at the high and low ends of the scale.
I usually need the pants with the 38 in the length department. Just my two cents, Dockers work well and they are relatively affordable and clean nicely.
