Madewell 9” high rise jeans - isko stay black

I love this pair and I bought it full price but it is HORRIBLE with lint! Hand washed once inside out (in the hopes that would remove the lint, to no avail). I haven’t washed them again since. It’s a size 25 but I believe will fit a size 26, definitely has a little stretch. Madewell MAGIC POCKETS for a slimmer look. Inseam 28 ½”. Unfortunately has a lot of lint. Probably with husky fur too as I own one.
