Vintage 80s Levi's 511 - #1661
The verdict
Fit
The 80s 511 is a slimmer, tapered cut with a mid-to-low rise. Fit is tighter through thigh and calf than modern 511s; size up from vintage measurements.
Quality
80s Levi's are solidly constructed. Durability depends on the specific piece's condition and how it has aged.
Price check
At $395, this is slightly discounted from the $425 pieces—a modest acknowledgment of the 511's narrower appeal. Reasonable for the era-specific fit.
Best for
Vintage slim-jean enthusiasts seeking an authentic 80s 511 without thrift hunting.
Care
Wash cold and infrequently to preserve the fit and fabric of this decades-old piece.

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.
