Vintage 60s Big E Selvedge Levi's Single Stitch Cut Off - #1597

Jeans

The verdict

A 60s Big E selvedge Levi's cutoff at USD 325—serious collector pricing for an iconic, era-defining denim piece.

Fit

Big E (red Big E tab) denotes pre-1971 Levi's—small, narrow waists and high rises. Cutoffs mean hemmed inseam; proportions are vintage and tight by modern standards.

Quality

Big E Levi's are the gold standard of vintage denim: superior single-stitch construction, selvedge density, and dye permanence. This is heirloom-grade cloth.

Is the price fair?

USD 325 is mid-to-high collector pricing. For a wearable Big E, this is fair if the size suits you and you value era-authentic construction.

Best for

A true vintage denim collector with period-specific knowledge and a body type that fits 60s proportions; styling is intentional Americana.

Care

Hand-wash alone in cool water; single-stitch seams are strong but deserve care. Air-dry away from heat.

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.
