The verdict
Fit
This is a single reworked vintage piece in a size 23; there is no size run to try. Vintage denim is typically rigid with no stretch, and high-rise vintage waists run smaller than modern sizing — go by measurements, not the number.
Quality
Re/Done's model is cutting shorts from genuine vintage denim, so the fabric is already decades broken in — character and softness come standard, and so do wear consistent with age. The rework construction itself is generally well executed.
Price check
$275 for vintage denim shorts is a steep curation fee; the raw material cost is a fraction of that. You're paying for sourcing, the cut, and the one-off nature — a fashion price, honestly framed.
Best for
Someone who wears a true vintage 23, wants an unrepeatable piece, and prefers real vintage fabric over new reproduction denim.
Care
Wash rarely, cold and inside out, and always hang dry — vintage denim has finite life left and dryers spend it fast.

Re/Done shorts: what reviews say
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.
