A waistband is a band of fabric encircling the waist, especially a part of a pair of trousers or a skirt.

I'm going to guess that you're referring to an inside the waistband holster and an outside the waistband holster. An inside the waistband holster literally fits inside the waistband of your pants, and a outside the waistband holster fits on the outside of the pants, either using a belt or a paddle. The IWB is normally more concealable because it holds the gun much closer to your body, however, many people consider the IWB to be less comfortable.
unpick the waistband with a seam ripperTry on the pants without the waistband to see where you want the waistband to be in relation to the crotch distance from it. Mark it with a pinsew in the waistband around the area marked with the pin.this is one method of altering the rise of pants.
Check the back of the waistband (where the waistband would fall over the center of the wearer's back). If there is a seam, you can make the pants larger around the waist. Take out the stitches down to the crotch seam and then sew the seam again - allowing more waistband to be 'used'. It's that simple! Try wetting the old creased seam with white vinegar then iron. This will often get rid of the old crease.

If it appears homeless & you feel you can give it the care & attention it needs, you can take it in a waistband, but are legally obliged to inform your local police station in case the original trouser is looking for it.
Flip it up into the waistband of your pants.
