The verdict
Fit
Orange Tab Levi's (1970s) have a moderate to low rise and generous hip room. Flares widen dramatically from knee onward. Proportions are decidedly 70s; fit is trend-dependent.
Quality
70s Levi's construction is solid; selvedge edges and double-stitch reinforcement are typical. Orange Tab status denotes the era accurately.
Is the price fair?
USD 495 is premium for a flare silhouette that requires specific styling and height/frame fit. The value is historical and sartorial, not practical.
Best for
A 70s enthusiast and stylist who actively wears full flares and understands the proportion risk; styling is archive-minded and intentional.
Care
Hand-wash in cool water; flares' long leg requires flat drying to avoid stretching the hem.
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.
