Regular pockets BEWARE
I bought these jeans because I needed a new pair of black pants. I went into Madewell, tried them on for 45 seconds, purchased them, and left. Little did I know, that these pants would change my life.
I've recently struggled with high wasted pants - I'm tall and thin, but have a little pooch below my belly button. High wasted pants and low poochy bellies are not friends - not unless magic pockets are in the picture.
These pants kick butt. The stayed structured all day, and the magic pockets helped me feel sucked in - without feeling like I was wearing 3 layers of shape wear. These pants are comfortable and help me feel more confident about my body. I can successfully do the "madewell tuck" without feeling self-conscious, and stylish crop shirts are finding their way into my wardrobe.
I will say - that the lint "issue" is a thing, but it's so easy to fix, and is a sacrifice I'm willing to make to feel the way I do when I wear these pants.
I'm hooked.

Great for Work (seriously)
These jeans are my favorites! The short inseam worked well for me, as I am 5’1” on a good day. These pants have a very nice finish to them that truly does stay black. These haven’t faded one bit since I bought them! I never put them in the dryer and always wash inside out. Since they are so comfortable and don’t have that casual denim finish, I get away with wearing them to work at least twice a week! I usually pair them with a blouse and a pair of flats. My absolute favorite pair of pants!

Obsessed!
these jeans in the short inseam are literally a short girl's dream. im curvy but have a small waist and it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to find skinny jeans that i don't have to cuff at the bottom. not only do i not have to cuff these but they also have the most flattering fit !! No matter your inseam length, the high rise fit on these jeans are unbeatable. The pockets are perfectly engineered.
Would literally buy 3 more pairs if they were still making them in the short inseam. I will undoubtedly be doing so if they ever come back in stock.
Also, it's a pure black wash, as the name promises. NOT a black that fades to grey-ish black with wear. However, these pants are literally a lint magnet :) so get your lint roller ready. It's totally worth it though.

The best black skinny
I love these jeans. True black. Flattering fit. I’m 5’8 145 pounds and the 29 tall is perfect. Only complaint is I prefer my jeans to have slightly more weight to them. But they feel nice, and the stretch is just right. Not too stretchy or spandex-y

Stays black (!!!)
I've worn black Madewell denim for years. I usually end up replacing my pair every six months or so as they fade to grey. I've washed these five times now, and they are BLACK. No signs of fading. Well done, Madewell. I'm hooked.

Great fit
Having this been my first pair of Madewell jeans, I was worried the size or fit wouldn't be right for my body. I ordered my go-to size (25 in most stores) and these fit like a glove. Love them! Must keep far away from my white cat. These were pretty expensive for me being in CAD, but I think it was worth the splurge. I hope they become a long-term staple in my wardrobe!

SO GOOD
Just got these the other day. It's true - they stay black!! I washed them inside out w/clear detergent & laid flat to dry, no issues. Great work Madewell! I will say, I did notice they attract lint a little more than other jeans/clothes I wear, but it's totally worth it, and I carry a mini lint roller with me everywhere anyway.

Magic. Pockets. (Mic Drop)
I cannot say enough about Magic Pockets! As a devoted shapewear user I couldn't imagine leaving the house without it until I came across these little miracles. Holds you in in all the right places and retains its shape. I bought the 9" in the stay black and white, and the white Calis. The stay black does have an odor as another reviewer pointed out, but honestly it just smells like vinegar and any denim aficionado knows to soak your dark denim in white vinegar to set the dye...the stay black has probably just done this process for me. True to size, but I promise you will look a size or two smaller in them.

True black jean!
I needed a pair of black pants for work, and I work somewhere casual so I thought these would be a good fit. I haven't washed them yet, but they really are a true black jean and they have the magical reinforced pockets that I love!
My only complaint is that they're a bit long. I'm 5'2", 106" and bought a size 24 - my normal Madewell size. They're a bit snug but a size up would make them baggier in the knees/ankles, so I have a feeling they'll break in perfectly. I just wish Madewell would make cropped/petite sizes!
The biggest bummer was the smell of the jeans. They don't smell the best. I'm sure that'll change with the first wash, but it was just a little unpleasant when I opened the package/wore them for the first time.

Perfect fit
Finally a black jean that seems built to last in material and color. The magic pockets really are magic on my thin but apple shaped bod. I took my usual madewell size 27 in these and the length is perfect for my 5'4" height.
