1991 loose straight jeans
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These jeans look great on and I'm told they are very comfortable (bought as a gift).I would recommend them.

Hate
Didn't know it would be button fly. Guess I didn't read the small print. Also, the color is ugly in person. Stuck with them because they were final sale. Guess I'll donate them.

NOT 1991 Loose Straight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a pair of 1991 loose straight jeans and I like them, but I like these pants way, way more. That being said, these are NOT 1991 loose straight jeans. These have a wider leg, a way higher rise (over 13 inches, compared to the about 12 inches on the 1991 loose straight) and a button fly. These are more similar to dungarees or P41 trousers. I have no idea why they are listed at 1991 loose straight jeans, because they are a totally different pant. 3 stars because they’re nothing like the written description, but also because they’re great pants. I wish they came in more colors!

Nice jeans
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Soft denim while having nice structure. So far my favorite fit of jeans from Madewell. I appreciate that these are offered in a 34 length and hope that Madewell continues to make pants in this length with a relaxed fit.

Way baggier than expected
I ordered two 1991 loose straight jeans, one of this variant with the button fly and one normal in a different color. The normal fly is about what I expected, but these are ridiculously baggy and feel like they're 3 sizes up from the other pair, despite being ordered on the same day, at the same size, with the same "1991 loose straight" cut. These are way baggier than the picture implies, and are pretty much unwearable for me. Final sale, so I guess I'm stuck with them.

An Amazing 6 Weeks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these in-store a couple months ago and had the legs hemmed for free to exactly where I wanted it. Instantly my favorite pair of pants and first time wearing genuinely loose pants. Unfortunately, after 6 weeks, the pant totally blew out from friction. I definitely have this issue with my skinny jeans which only would last a year. But 6 weeks? That's probably the shortest I've ever heard anyone have their jeans last.
