Vintage 70s Patchwork Levi's 717 - #1586
The verdict
Fit
A 717 is a bootcut predecessor; expect a '70s rise and waist sizing that runs small. Patchwork disrupts standard seaming, making fit unpredictable.
Quality
70s Levi's have excellent base fabric. Patchwork modifications are additive and absorb wear differently than original seams.
Price check
USD 625 is pure collector pricing—no everyday value. The appeal is historical rarity and visual customization.
Best for
A vintage denim scholar or artist seeking a 717 specifically for its era and modified story; styling is intentional and archive-minded.
Care
Hand-wash only, cold; patchwork seams require delicate handling.

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.
