Summary

Madewell The Perfect Vintage typically runs generous versus many premium denim brands. Most shoppers size down one for a fitted vintage-mom look; stay TTS only if you want intentional day-one slouch. Stretch washes relax further through hip and seat — do not size down twice hoping rigid denim rules apply.
