The waist bands in these are not up to te standards that I would expect from Polo.  The elasticity and the width of the bands is the issue.  After just a few wearings the bands seem to have lost their elasticity.  The bands are also not as wide as what I have experiened with other quality products.  I'm not sure where these are manufactured, but I believe the quality is mediocre at best. I will not purchase them again.
