The verdict
Fit
Re/Done typically cuts a modern, fitted silhouette. Expect a trim thigh and high rise—typical of the brand's contemporary vintage reissues. Size down if between sizes.
Quality
Re/Done's construction is solid for the price tier; seams and finishing are clean. These are reproductions of vintage originals, so durability depends on fabric sourcing in this line.
Is the price fair?
At 250 USD, this is premium positioning—mostly brand tax. The quality is respectable but not exceptional for the price; you're paying for the Re/Done name and its archive heritage.
Best for
Shoppers seeking designer denim shorts with a specific silhouette and brand story; not budget-conscious buyers.
Care
Wash cold and infrequently; air-dry to preserve the cut and minimize shrinkage, typical of high-end denim.
What owners report about Re/Done shorts
Owners describe rigid, 100% cotton denim with restrained distressing — a little fraying rather than heavy destruction — that holds its shape after the first wash and through repeat wears. The recurring friction is sizing: one shorts reviewer found her usual size tight through the hips while the next size up ran long and looser, and reviewers note the all-cotton fabric shrinks slightly in the wash. The cuts also run short in the leg, and the price is high for a pair of cutoffs.
- Strengths
- Reviewers report the rigid cotton denim keeps its shape wash after wash, with distressing that reads subtle rather than beat-up.
- Watch out for
- Sizing between adjacent sizes is the common failure point — one size pulls tight at the hips while the next runs long and large — at a price that punishes a wrong guess.
- Sizing
- Because the 100% cotton denim shrinks slightly in the wash, reviewers advise sizing up from a tight fit, and ordering two adjacent sizes to compare is common.
