Browse all Diesel jeans →Diesel Bootcut Jeans High Waist 1973 D-Partt, Dark blue, Zip fly
The verdict
Fit
High waist paired with a bootcut leg should sit higher at the waist and flare slightly from the knee; expect true-to-size fit.
Quality
Construction should be in line with Diesel's usual premium denim standard for this style.
Is the price fair?
At $295 this is upper-premium for the jeans category; fair for the brand, but buyers should recognize much of the cost is the Diesel name.
Best for
Someone who prefers a higher-rise bootcut silhouette with a zip closure over the brand's button-fly options.
Care
Wash cold, inside out, to protect the dark rinse and zip hardware.
What owners report about Diesel jeans
Owners describe Diesel's denim as sturdily built: sturdy stitching, heavy-duty zippers, and a cotton-elastane blend that keeps pairs flexible rather than flimsy. On owner forums, people report pairs still fitting well and holding their wash after five to six years of regular wear, describing the jeans as lighter-weight and more comfortable than expected for the style. The cuts are snug through the seat and thigh with room to move rather than a roomy, relaxed fit.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently point to sturdy stitching, heavy-duty zippers, and a fabric blend that stays flexible rather than stiff or flimsy.
- Watch out for
- The fit runs snug and style-driven rather than roomy, and owners say sizing needs to be chosen carefully to get the cut right.
- Sizing
- Most owners report the line running true to size across fits from relaxed to skinny, but the cut is snug through the seat and thigh rather than generous.
