The verdict
Fit
Boy Short is a relaxed, straight-leg silhouette. Expect a roomy thigh and lower rise than Alexa. This cut suits a range of body types better than the fitted Alexa.
Quality
Re/Done adds finishing to a Levi's base. At 205 USD, construction is solid for mid-tier denim pricing.
Is the price fair?
At 205 USD, this represents a better price-to-quality ratio than the 350 USD Alexa reworks. Still premium, but closer to fair market for designer-curated denim.
Best for
Shoppers who prefer a relaxed, straight-leg fit and want Re/Done curation without the top-tier markup.
Care
Cold wash, infrequent; air-dry to preserve the straight-leg shape.
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.
