The verdict
Fit
A true cutoff silhouette will sit higher on the hip with a shorter inseam typical of 1950s proportions. Sizing is likely true to vintage patterns; expect a fitted to regular cut.
Quality
Cutoffs are inherently higher-risk pieces; wear and distressing are intentional. Re/Done's construction should withstand regular wear, but raw edges will continue to fray naturally.
Is the price fair?
At 195 USD for cutoff shorts, you are paying for the brand's archive editing and modern execution of a vintage silhouette. Fair for the positioning but premium versus basic shorts.
Best for
Fashion-forward shoppers committed to vintage aesthetics and willing to accept the natural wear of cutoff construction.
Care
Raw hems will fray with washing; trim loose threads by hand and wash separately to minimize lint transfer.
What owners report about Re/Done shorts
Owners describe rigid, 100% cotton denim with restrained distressing — a little fraying rather than heavy destruction — that holds its shape after the first wash and through repeat wears. The recurring friction is sizing: one shorts reviewer found her usual size tight through the hips while the next size up ran long and looser, and reviewers note the all-cotton fabric shrinks slightly in the wash. The cuts also run short in the leg, and the price is high for a pair of cutoffs.
- Strengths
- Reviewers report the rigid cotton denim keeps its shape wash after wash, with distressing that reads subtle rather than beat-up.
- Watch out for
- Sizing between adjacent sizes is the common failure point — one size pulls tight at the hips while the next runs long and large — at a price that punishes a wrong guess.
- Sizing
- Because the 100% cotton denim shrinks slightly in the wash, reviewers advise sizing up from a tight fit, and ordering two adjacent sizes to compare is common.
