The verdict
Fit
Skater silhouette implies a roomy thigh and slightly relaxed knee, typical of '90s-inspired cuts. Expect fuller coverage than modern slim shorts.
Quality
Aged worn finish is a design choice that may mask durability or show wear unevenly. Construction is likely solid denim; longevity depends on how the wash was executed.
Is the price fair?
At $225, the price reflects the design curation and brand more than exceptional durability or innovation. Fair for fashion-forward shoppers, less so for pure function.
Best for
Vintage-inspired denim buyers seeking a '90s aesthetic with a known-brand backing and are willing to pay for the look.
Care
Wash separately the first time; cold water only to avoid additional fading of the worn treatment.
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.
