The verdict
Fit
Size 23 is snug in the waist and hip on a 501 silhouette. Expect a pronounced straight leg and authentic 90s proportions; comfort is secondary.
Quality
Same 90s Levi's construction and fabric as all other pieces in this vintage group—no quality trade-off for the smaller size.
Is the price fair?
Premium heritage pricing; only rational if the size genuinely matches your waist and you're prioritizing authenticity over comfort.
Best for
Shoppers with a true size 23 waist who collect or prize authentic 90s Levi's jeans.
Care
Wash sparingly in cold water, inside-out, to preserve the vintage indigo and construction.
What owners report about Re/Done jeans
Owners report rigid, heavyweight denim that holds its shape through repeated wear and washing, with a fit that hugs the waist and seat and relaxes through the leg. Reviewers describe the jeans as comfortable straight away with no break-in needed, and the free lifetime repair policy (owner pays shipping) comes up as a plus. Complaints are smaller-scale: some wearers get lower-back gapping that needs tailoring, the button-fly hardware can feel flimsy over time, and pricing sits at the luxury end.
- Strengths
- Heavyweight denim that keeps its shape after washing and frequent wear, with reviewers reporting no break-in period.
- Watch out for
- Lower-back waist gapping that requires tailoring, flimsy-feeling button-fly buttons, and luxury pricing are the recurring gripes, and reworked-vintage pairs vary more in wash and size than the standard line.
- Sizing
- Reviewers report true-to-size fit with a high rise and long inseams; wearers with slimmer thighs may find the leg loose, and reworked-vintage pairs are less consistent in sizing than the standard line.
