Polo Ralph Lauren Double Knit Drawstring Pants - Blue - 34

While they feature a drawstring and elasticated waist, they are designed primarily as lifestyle or loungewear; the pleated detailing makes them better suited for casual wear than high-intensity exercise.

They feature a straight-hem design with a mid-rise, offering a comfortable, relaxed fit that stays neat around the legs.

It is not recommended. High heat can damage the elastic in the waistband and lead to significant shrinkage in the cotton fabric.

No, the side pockets are simple seam pockets and the rear pocket is a standard patch design.

The pleats are stitched in. To keep them looking sharp, avoid over-stuffing the washing machine and aim to lay the garment flat or hang it to dry.

Use a safety pin attached to one end of the drawstring to guide it back through the waistband casing manually.

Lightly steam the pleated front section or iron on a low cotton setting to restore the intended crisp look.

Ensure the garment is turned inside out during the wash cycle and avoid washing with abrasive items like zippers or denim.
