The back of the waist is elastic, and the rise is long, giving a relaxed, drop-crotch feel. The fabric itself is thin, so it's very light. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but it's been several years since I purchased it, and it has been used to some extent, with some fading. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Size: Waist: 34cm Total Length: 97cm Inseam: 45cm Beige
