Cotton from the cloth to the drawstring: organic cotton jersey, a braided cotton cord, cotton thread and a woven cotton label, with no elastic anywhere in the waist. It sits at Bronze for one small reason. The photo shows grey tips on the ends of the drawstring, and the maker doesn't say what they're made of. The Natural color is the one to buy; the dyed versions use a different thread. The pants ship in paper lined with PLA, a plant-based plastic.

Caveat
Drawstring end tips: the product photo shows small grey tips and the maker doesn't say whether they are metal or plastic. The waistband tape in the newer internal-drawstring version isn't described either. The thread and label are the maker's word alone. Packaging is kraft paper with a PLA lining. The page says you may receive the older version with the drawstring outside or the newer one with it inside.
Unverified
Not yet confirmed by the maker: drawstring end tips; waistband tape or interfacing (internal-drawstring version).
