The verdict
Fit
Same breezy silhouette as the washed-black version. Sizing should be consistent across the Originals line; fits relaxed through thigh.
Quality
Aged worn finish adds character but may be harder to predict for color retention and even wear. Underlying denim construction remains solid.
Is the price fair?
At $295, this is premium tier for denim shorts. The price lift over the black version is entirely aesthetic; decide if the aged indigo finish justifies the extra cost.
Best for
Design-focused shoppers who prize the faded indigo aesthetic and see the premium as worth paying for editorial curation.
Care
Wash cold and separately; expect some loose indigo in the first wash due to the aged 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.
