Perfect Vintage Jeans

I purchased a size 26 when I wear a 24 or 26 in most brands. The jeans seem to be a nice color and quality finish, but unfortunately the fit was way off. They fit in the legs, but the rise is really low and there was no way I could zip these. They were much too small. I’m 5’7” with a long torso. Perhaps these would be a good option for a petite wearer/someone who needs a short rise in the jeans. I will be returning.

I have to agree with others about Madewell's new plus sizing. It's so frustrating because I no longer can find a fit that works for me. I had a pair of the vintage jeans for a couple years that were the absolute perfect jean- they fit me perfectly and I was obsessed with them. I wore them out so I ordered these and the fit is totally off. I can no longer find my size. I was a solid 34. Now the "regular" sizing stops at 33- so I would think I would be a 14W. Nope- couldn't even get them past my thighs. They were so small I assumed a 16W wouldn't work either so I tried an 18W and they're too baggy. I'm done ordering and having to return. Please go back to the old sizing!

Luckily I was able to get a pair of these when they were first available. I had a hard time figuring out what size to order, because based on this size chart, all the sizes would be too small. I was able to find and old size chart so I could figure out what size to buy based on my old Madewell jeans, and figured a size 20W would work. I was nervous that they were going to be too small, but was pleasantly surprised when they arrived. They were a bit snug, but after a few wears, they are perfect. I am excited for some different washes to be released.
