The verdict
Fit
The Nico cut offers a loose leg opening typical of vintage Levi's proportions. Standard sizing applies, but these vintage pieces can vary; try before buying if possible.
Quality
Constructed from deadstock Levi's with original 1980s-era fabric and seaming. Durability is solid for the era, though vintage fabrics can be more delicate than new denim.
Is the price fair?
At $495, the premium covers vintage sourcing and curation. Reasonable for collectors; expensive for a daily-driver jean.
Best for
Vintage enthusiasts and collectors who value provenance, history, and the character of authentic deadstock Levi's.
Care
Wash infrequently in cold water, gentle cycle, to preserve the integrity of aged seaming and fabric.
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.
