The verdict
An 80s 517 at standard Re/Done price; solid construction, narrow appeal due to the specific cut.
Fit
The 517 is a tapered boot-cut with a mid rise—a distinct silhouette from the 501 or 505. Fit varies by piece; expect a taper through the calf and a roomier hip.
Quality
Vintage Levi's are durably made. Condition depends on the individual piece's age and prior wear.
Is the price fair?
At $425, Re/Done prices this like any vintage piece—based on sourcing, not exceptional rarity. Fair for an 80s 517 enthusiast.
Best for
Vintage shoppers who specifically appreciate the 80s 517 boot-cut taper.
Care
Vintage denim benefits from cold-water, infrequent washing to keep structure and color.
