The waist has elastic, making it easy to put on and take off. The buttons are decorative, so you don't need to button or unbutton them. As shown in the photos, there is some fraying of the thread at the hem of the pants. Please purchase only if you understand that this is used clothing worn by a child. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such issues. Will be folded small for shipping. - Brand: Wrangler - Color: Blue - Material: Denim - Design: With pockets - Model Number: Wrangler Thank you for looking.
