The verdict
Fit
Vintage 60s proportions are narrow and fitted by modern standards; true vintage sizing varies and runs very small. This requires careful fitting and may not suit all body types.
Quality
Authentic vintage garment; construction and fabric quality depend entirely on the age and original maker. Expect delicate fabrics and potential fragility.
Is the price fair?
Premium pricing for authenticated vintage; you're paying for historical rarity and authenticity, not new construction value.
Best for
Serious vintage collectors and fashion historians seeking an original piece for display or very careful, occasional wear.
Care
Hand wash only in cool water with mild detergent; lay flat to dry and store carefully away from light.
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.
