These are kids' pants made from Kurashiki denim, a souvenir from Kurashiki. They're very well-made and have good stretch, so they seem easy for children to wear. The waist is made of a soft, ribbed material. They've been worn a few times and are in good condition, but since they've been used by a child, please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. Please only purchase if you understand that they are used items and have been stored at home.
