Well loved Madewell Denim shorts The cut: slouchy and relaxed, these fan-favorite mid-length jean shorts sit low on the hips (and this pair has a clean hem and vintage-y slits on the sides). Get 'em a size down for a fitted look with a higher rise. The fabric: premium 100 percent cotton Cone® denim with old-school character and zero stretch. Front rise: 10 1/4"; inseam: 5". Machine wash.
