I got these jeans at Madewell in March, and they’re very cute & I love the seams on the back — ultimately, I prefer belt loops on my jeans. If you own any Madewell Emmett style, these ones definitely have stretch, which is super nice compared to their other fabrics that are either cord or utility pant style! I wore these jeans once, and I also washed them once, on cold, inside out, line dry. Emmett girlies, rise up!
