High-quality jeans
Above all, the quality of the denim fabric is excellent. It's very durable yet feels soft. The stitching and tailoring are impeccable.

Nice color and fit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] He liked them, they look more fitted than last year version. Nice denim color Fairside. Used coupon otherwise not worth that much at regular cost.

Favorite jeans
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 1991 straight is my hubbys favorite Jean style from Madewell and the Japanese denim takes it over the top! The fit and quality is definitely top notch. He could not be happier with them! The wash is also super chic.

Great jeans, but a couple quirks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the 1991 straight-leg jeans! They look great on my partner. Not too baggy, not too tight.Two things worth noting about these, though. 1) They have a button fly. My partner said he would have preferred a zipper, but we'll see if the button fly is annoying on the day-to-day. 2) Different pairs of these jeans have some decent variety in the contrast between the fade (and those striations near the hips) and the denim. I personally prefer less stark faux wear patterns, so I picked a pair in store. Would recommend others do the same!

Classic, clean, and high quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these a few weeks ago and have been wearing them constantly ever since... I absolutely love these jeans. The fit and feel are excellent, and the denim looks fantastic. You can see and feel the quality of the denim... 10/10 would buy again.
