How We Do Well
Check out our very first Do Well Report to find out how we’re doing better for our planet and its people. More than half our styles are sustainable in some way and each has a special label—look for them in stores or visit the Do Well Shop here.
WHAT WE’RE DOING NOW
We’re giving new life to old jeans through repairing, reusing and recycling.
Repair
Stitching up rips and tears can add years to the lifespan of a perfectly broken-in pair.
Our jeans are made to last but, you know, life happens. That’s why you can always bring them into our stores for patching, mending and other fixes.
FIND A STOREReuse
Fallen out of love with your skinnies? Resell them so they can find a home in someone else’s closet.
Or purchase a used (but new to you) pair in one of our stores—we teamed up with our friends at ThredUP on the Madewell Archive, an exclusive selection of pre-owned jeans.

We’ll turn your old bootcuts into housing insulation for communities in need.
So far, you’ve donated more than 800,000 pairs of jeans to our program, warming more than 1,000 homes (and keeping 415 tons of denim out of the trash).
