Does the 5.11 Taclite Pro Pants have a stretch waist?

The 24/7's do have a different cut...I like the 24/7 cut better then the 5.11 but the cotton 24/7's are a bit heavier then the 5.11's. The color of my cotton 24/7's seems to hold up better too. 5.11's usually fade after the first wash.

gotta go with the blend material to retain the color I guess.
You could try http://www.ritdye.com/home.lasso, Hobby Lobby has a decent selection.

ive got black truspec BDUs.
they fade every few months. and when i think about it i jsut throw them in the washing machine with no soap and a bunch of dye.
ill find the box of dye soon and post the name. but it works like a charm.
i only know abut dyeing things black though.

i'm surprised no one has tapped on it yet but Woolrich has a tactical line called Woolrich Elite, from wearing both, i have to say that i much prefer the woolrich pants over 5.11's, much more comfortable, dont fade, and dont shrink, the front thigh pockets are rubberized so if you carry your phone or what have you and it catches a splash your phone wont get wet. i got mine on sale at Cheaper than Dirt about a year ago, like 20 bucks a pair, couldnt pass up

I forgot about the woolrich line, haven't tried them, but have seen some of their shirts that look good (just not in my size)

also i would definetely reccomend Eotac, they're a little newer but their stuff is top notch, if not the pants definetely the shirts, and also for pants, Riggs Workwear by Wrangler, the Ranger pant, more for straight range work, not very dressy but very rugged, one cool little plus with these is that the corner hem of the thigh pockets have a leather flap sewn on it which is nice for guys that carry a knife there because i know i've worn out a couple pockets because i wear my knife in the same place always
