New best-selling straight-leg jeans are included in [Madewell's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madewell-the-chalet-shop) fashion collection. The cut is inspired by the 90s supermodel aesthetic. The silhouette features a high-rise construction that accents the waist and the brand's Magic Pockets that perform "the hold-you-in sorcery."

The fabric of the straight-leg jeans is premium, offering a light stretch to optimize comfort. The piece is made in the Saitex Los Angeles factory where "the best artisans in the biz" are brought together. Additionally, to being expertly crafted, Madewell's design is also [sustainably made](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-jeans).

A ripped knee detail gives a grungy feel to Madewell's Perfect Vintage Straight Jean in Danby Wash. The pair is offered in [11 sizes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sizeinclusive-organic-jeans) and in three fits—Petite, Standard, and Tall.
