FAQs

What does 'tapered fit' mean for this model?

The tapered fit means the jeans are wider at the thigh and gradually narrow down towards the ankle, offering a streamlined look.

Are these jeans pre-shrunk?

Diesel garments are treated for stability, but it is always recommended to wash in cold water and avoid tumble drying to prevent further shrinkage.

Is the material stretchy?

The 1985 Larkee is primarily denim-focused. While comfortable, it does not have the high-stretch feel of synthetic-blend 'super stretch' jeans.

How should I measure my waist for these jeans?

Measure around your natural waistline, typically where you usually wear your belt, ensuring the tape is snug but not tight.

Can I bleach these jeans?

No, bleach will destroy the blue dye and weaken the denim fibers. Use only mild detergents meant for dark clothing.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel too stiff initially

This is common with high-quality denim. Wear the jeans for 3-4 days to allow the fabric to soften and naturally contour to your body.

Indigo dye rubbing off on light furniture

Wash the jeans separately in cold water with a cup of white vinegar to help set the dye before regular use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable denim construction built for longevity
  • Versatile tapered fit suitable for most body types
  • Classic blue aesthetic that never goes out of style
  • Reliable sizing consistent with Diesel standards

Cons

  • Limited stretch properties compared to modern stretch-denim
  • Requires careful laundering to maintain indigo integrity
  • Fit is specific to the 1985 pattern which may vary from slimmer modern cuts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Diesel 1985 Larkee jeans maintain their shape and colour, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Turn the jeans inside out before placing them in the machine to prevent excessive indigo fading and surface abrasion.
  2. Temperature: Use cold water on a delicate cycle to preserve the denim fibers.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible by hanging them flat or by the waist. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause shrinkage and damage the integrity of the denim.
  4. Compatibility: These jeans are designed for a 38-inch waist; they pair well with standard belts of 35-40mm width. They are highly compatible with casual button-downs, t-shirts, and leather jackets.
