Madewell to American Eagle jeans size

The short answer

Madewell 29 is American Eagle 10 by the two brands' own charts.

Both brands publish the body waist each size is cut for, so every row matches a waist, not a tag.

Every Madewell size read across to American Eagle. Waist size sizes on the left, US numeric on the right.
