Vintage 90s Women's Levi's 501 - #1640

Jeans
$425may be out of stock

The verdict

A 90s women's 501 at full retail price; worth it only if the 90s proportions are exactly what you want.

Fit

Women's 501 proportions from the 90s sit higher and fit narrower at the waist than men's versions. Sizing is archival; use vintage Levi's fit guides.

Quality

Period Levi's offer solid construction. Durability hinges on the specific piece's condition and history.

Price check

At $425, Re/Done is pricing based on curation and scarcity, not fabric innovations. Value depends entirely on how much you prize a genuine 90s women's 501.

Best for

Women with specific nostalgia for 90s Levi's proportions who trust Re/Done's sourcing and condition assessment.

Care

Wash cold and infrequently to preserve the vintage fit and finish.

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.
