The verdict
Fit
Comfy cut indicates a roomier, less tapered silhouette typical of 1990s proportions. Likely runs true to size with extra room through the hip and thigh.
Quality
At 195 USD, Re/Done maintains solid denim quality. The relaxed fit means less stress on seams, which should extend garment life.
Is the price fair?
Fair mid-range pricing for a heritage-inspired short with authentic vintage construction standards.
Best for
Shoppers prioritizing comfort and baggy 1990s aesthetics over contemporary tailored fits.
Care
Denim shorts benefit from cool-water washing and air drying; this style can handle more frequent wear than tight fits.
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.
