Madewell the mid-rise perfect vintage jeans The cut: We reworked our best-selling tapered jeans with a mid rise for a laid-back vibe (they're great for everyone, but an absolute must if you've got a shorter torso). The fabric: Heritage Stretch denim has an old-school look and a touch of give for a perfectly broken-in feel. 99% cotton/1% elastane Heritage Stretch denim. Item NB074
