The back of the waist is elastic. I believe there are no scratches or stains, but please forgive any minor imperfections. As this item has been stored at home, I would appreciate it if only those who understand this would purchase it. Please note that the item will be folded for shipping. The items in the photos are all that are included. There are no factors that would cause odors to adhere to the item, such as a history of smoking, pet ownership, or exposure to chemical solvents used in work. I am also selling other items, and may remove this listing without notice, even if negotiations are in progress. If the item sells on another site at almost the same time, I will prioritize the first buyer and may cancel the order of the later buyer without notice. I generally do not respond to requests for extreme price reductions. Thank you for your understanding. #Liberty
