I wonder if there are any good keyboards that are part of trousers, but that are also hidden, you know not immediately obvious that you've got a keyboard on you

  I had a coworker write a little app to vibrate with Morse code at incoming messages, and turn the entire screen into a single button that he could tap out replies. It worked well enough.

  You can integrate 30% or smaller wireless keyboard (with Elite-C) in your trousers IMHO. This would address "good" part (think something like this https://www.tzcl.me/blog/rae-dux https://www.tzcl.me/blog/rae-dux but without PCB and wired using wires). At least I use adux keyboard of similar size daily. Or you can go even smaller with something like this https://artsey.io/ https://artsey.io/ but I am not sure if this could be considered good. Next part would be concealing it - kailh low profile are too high IMHO for pants. There are switches that are even lower but most probably this might not work. I guess captive touch sensors might be solution but I am not sure if they would work well as keyboard. I guess some art would help concealing as well. Still I don't feel this would be really comfortable to type on.
