The verdict
Fit
Flare leg widens from knee to hem, creating a 70s-inflected silhouette. Expect room through the calf and foot; proportions are nostalgic rather than modern.
Quality
Same reliable Re/Done construction as other lines. The flare cut adds fitting complexity, so tailoring is more involved if proportions don't match your frame.
Is the price fair?
Standard mid-tier pricing for contemporary denim, but the flare silhouette is trend-dependent. Only worth it if you actively wear 70s-influenced silhouettes.
Best for
A stylist or 70s enthusiast with the leg length and shoe strategy to pull off a full flare without drowning in fabric.
Care
Turn inside-out, wash cold, and lay flat to dry to preserve the flare silhouette and avoid stretching the hem.
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.
