I believe the fading is part of the processing. There are no major tears or other damage visible. Waist: 36cm (laid flat, side to side) Inseam: 70cm Please note that these measurements are approximate. The tag says Waist 28 inches, Length 32 inches, but I think the length has been altered because of this inseam. *Please note that I will not respond to individual requests for price reductions. *To prevent product substitution, returns based on claims without photographic evidence will not be accepted. Also, I will not lower the price after shipping. (This is because I recently had a cancellation and the product was fraudulently taken.) *I am a non-smoker, so there is no smell of tobacco or nicotine. I also do not have any pets. Please rest assured. However, there is a smell of mothballs. *I will ship via Takkyubin Compact.
