Browse all Diesel jeans →Diesel Relaxed Jeans Regular Waist 1997 D-Enim-M, Dark blue, Button fly
The verdict
Fit
Regular-rise and relaxed through the leg, a roomier fit for those who want more room than the brand's slim styles.
Quality
Dark blue wash with button fly suggests a classic casual jean; expect Diesel's standard construction for the relaxed line.
Is the price fair?
$250 is mid-pack for Diesel; reasonable for the brand's tier but not a bargain versus mainstream denim.
Best for
Someone wanting a roomier, classic dark-blue Diesel jean.
Care
Wash inside out in cold water to preserve the dark tone.
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

- 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.
