Product Information

Full details

The Diesel 1978 D-Akemi Flare Jeans are designed for the fashion-conscious adult seeking a sophisticated, vintage-inspired silhouette. These jeans offer a flattering, snug fit at the waist that transitions into a dramatic wide leg, providing both comfort and style. While the intricate skeleton wash and sulphur-dyed stitching create a premium look, users should be aware that the special dying process means the fabric's appearance will evolve and fade uniquely over time.

FAQs

What is the fit of the 1978 D-Akemi jeans?

These jeans feature a medium-rise waist with a flared leg, providing a snug fit at the top that widens towards the ankle.

Are these jeans made sustainably?

Yes, they incorporate sustainable treatments including water-free washing and synthetic pumice to minimize environmental impact.

Will the skeleton effect wash last?

The wash is achieved through manual spray and masking. While durable, it will develop a natural, unique character as the garment ages.

How should I wash my Diesel D-Akemi jeans?

Wash inside out in cold water with similar colors and hang to dry to preserve the unique dye and wash effects.

Is the material stretchy?

The 1978 D-Akemi is crafted from cotton, providing a classic, structured denim feel rather than a high-stretch legging-style fit.

Troubleshooting

Color fading on the stitching

This is a natural feature of the sulphur-dyed threads and is intended by the design to create a custom worn-in look.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Avoid using high heat in the dryer; air drying naturally keeps the cotton fibers soft and prevents unnecessary structural changes.

Hem dragging on the ground

If the length exceeds your preference, consult a professional tailor to have the hem adjusted while maintaining the wide-leg flare profile.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flattering wide-leg fit suitable for various body types
  • Environmentally conscious production methods
  • Unique artisan-style wash and detail
  • High-quality cotton construction for durability

Cons

  • Sulphur-dyed stitching will fade over time
  • Requires careful maintenance to preserve the skeleton wash
  • Wide-leg style may require specific footwear to avoid dragging

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the manual spray work and the skeleton wash, it is recommended to turn the jeans inside out before washing in cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach, which can compromise the sulphur-dyed stitching and the delicate contrast of the wash. Due to the sustainable, water-free treatment, initial washes might see minor color transfer, so wash with similar colors. For the best longevity, air dry your jeans away from direct sunlight to prevent uneven fading of the special grey wash.
