Vintage 90s Levi's 501 Cut Off Shorts -#1416
The verdict
Fit
The 501 cut-off is a loose, relaxed fit through the hip and thigh. Sizing runs to the wearer's actual waist; check Re/Done's fit guide against your Levi's measurements.
Quality
Reworked vintage deadstock means authentic denim with character, though condition varies by individual piece. Re/Done's cutting and finishing is clean, but durability depends on the original garment's state.
Price check
At 225 USD for reworked vintage shorts, this is luxury pricing for the vintage-repair category. Fair if you value the 90s provenance; steep if you want new denim with modern durability.
Best for
Collectors and 90s-era enthusiasts who will treat these as a statement piece, not everyday shorts.
Care
Wash cold, infrequently, inside-out to preserve the vintage patina; avoid bleach and harsh detergents.

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.
