Vintage 90s Levi's 505 - #1665
The verdict
Fit
The 505 is a straight-leg cut with a mid rise, roomier than the 511 but less voluminous than the 501. Expect tighter fits than modern equivalents; size accordingly.
Quality
90s Levi's construction is durable. Condition depends on the piece's age and how it has been stored.
Price check
At $395, you're paying less than the $425 premium tier pieces. Fair for a 90s 505 if that specific cut appeals to you.
Best for
Shoppers wanting a straight-leg 90s Levi's that splits the difference between slim and full roominess.
Care
Vintage denim lasts longer with cold-water, infrequent washing.

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.
