Our take
DL1961 is a premium brand that owns its denim mill, which it uses to emphasize fabric technology and water-conscious production. The Mara is a popular mid-rise straight in its lineup. Reviewers highlight the brand's high-recovery stretch that resists bagging. It sits at the lower end of premium.
What shoppers say about DL1961 jeans

Their proprietary fibers are credited with resisting bagging better than most stretch denim, though a minority of wearers question whether the look justifies the cost. Sizing tends to run slightly generous.
