I don't think there are any noticeable scratches or stains, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details. There is no size notation, but I think it is suitable for people around 155-165cm tall. There are two waist strings. The obi is a pre-tied type that can be fastened with Velcro. It is made of polyester material and is very light and easy to wear. It will be folded when shipped. You are welcome to purchase without commenting. (^^)
