These are supposed to have an elastic waist but it has no flex what so ever. They are a fixed 38" waist. They have been washed and I observed no stains or holes. Measurements provided in the photos. Thanks for looking. My wife and I strive to bring you only the best items. We thoroughly go over each item. We honestly and openly point out any flaws if we find one. If you have any questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line. We are always happy to help. We ship daily and are happy to bulk sell and combine shipping on multiple purchases. Lastly, clothing sizes vary from maker to maker and often times change from being washed. We take pictures of all items measurements so please pull out one of your garments and ensure it is the same size. This will help you know you’re getting that perfect fit every time. Thanks again!
