Thank you for viewing. These pants are stretchy and have an elastic waistband in the back, making them very comfortable to wear. The color is black. I purchased these this spring and have only worn them once for a short period, so I am listing them as nearly new. However, please understand that these are used items. I kindly request that only those who are comfortable with this condition purchase them. I will not accept purchases from those who are overly concerned about minor details.
