I bought this but never used it, and it's been stored away. The waist is elastic, so it's comfortable. Although it's unused, it has been washed and stored at home, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. These are black gaucho pants in size L, made of a blend of acrylic and nylon. - Material: 53% Acrylic, 47% Nylon - Size: L - Color: Black Thank you for looking.
