That back pocket is MAD OD or I would have consider those because of the orangle selvedge, thanks for the pics.

[evlhunter]

is it the new Autumn/Winter collection?

[thedonger]

The pocket design is a bit loud, but I'd buy those. The Kratt has a great classic fit.

[jhud]

I have to say, after thinking I'd grown out of it, I was pleasantly surprised when I popped into a diesel store the other day. everything seems much more subtle/subdued, and the colour palate this season is very appealing. hmm...

[darknworn]

ah, i'm glad they're bringing back a classic. i love my kratts. if it wasn't for the pocket design i'd probably go for yet another pair of selvage jeans that i won't get to wear much...thanks diesel for not giving me a reason to splurge...

the back pocket is actually silk screened or something similar.... it says do not iron over back pockets on the jeans.... anyone know a way to take it off?

tk maxx?

[evlhunter]

hm..they are nice but for $190, I'll have to think twice.

[LIVENUDEGIRLS]

how do these fit?

honey, you're my religion

Even though you haven't yet expanded

To include a heaven after

Even though I have demanded it

[darknworn]

a bit looser than 501stf, but in the same proportions...

what collection are they from? the paper label they are using is one of the old, old tags from before 2000 i believe, but the back pocket design looks like something from more recent collections.

if the markings on the back pockets are thread i would just get a seam ripper and have at it. 3 years ago when i thought seven jeans were the shit, i ripped out the swirl stitching pretty easily with one of those.

[triniboy27]

the selvage line on those jeans is really nice, but I've fallen too far off the Diesel wagon to get back on....

[adsurgo]

dilemma.. where did you find these?

[Corbin Law]

that actually looks like a very nice jean, yes the back pockets are a bit loud but so are nudies and look at them theyre beautiful. i like the orange selvage

chwa?

[frenchtoast]

i believe that TK maxx in the UK is like TJ maxx in the US

[ardeetee]

for some reason i don't see TJ Maxx carrying diesels, but maybe things have changed since the last time ive been there

[ardeetee]

oh, and I went to the diesel store and didn't see these there... strange?

[adsurgo]

why does the cardboard pocket tag say crat but the first pics actual tag says lemmen?

[tangerine]

^ I wondered that too...

[frenchtoast]

also those tags are all old style tags they do not look like that anymore

also they dont even make kratts anymore its called kuratt now, a little different in the fit.

please someone correct me if i am wrong.

[adsurgo]

i figured maybe they were bringing back the old style tags with the kratt style... i dunno tho.

[tangerine]

The dry selvage & old-style tags are consistent with their stated desire to "get back to the basics."

Still doesn't explain about the lemmen tag, I think that was included by accident.

[bathe my ape]

Kratt Diesel > other Diesel jeans

troof!

[giovanni]

The diesel jeans on display are pre 2000... i'd say that lemmen tag is a mistake. The Kratt has been replaced by the Kuratt, even though the later is a much looser fit.

[dilemma]

I work in Saks in Houston and these were returned on Friday obviously with the wrong tag..

Sorry for the confusion....I guess I should have checked the tag better....It's too bad someone returned it with the wrong tag, but they are nice jeans.....

[docdoom]

yeah tk maxx is like tk maxx i think but with better brands - plenty of diesel, full selvedge lee101 i got there too.

Kratt is deffo my fave diesel model.

[drgitlin]

Damn. I was working for Diesel in London when we launched those. I was one of the denim trainers for the UK as well as doing the denim wall for the Selfridges branch - we must have got them in 1997 or early 1998 - would have been before I started my PhD.

They mysteriously vanished from my flat when I was on holiday, and I'm still cut up about it 7 years down the line...

[tomenugen]

french toast you are correct.

the new kuratt is a noticably baggier kratt. diesel really dropped the ball when they decided that change was good and dropped the kratt line.
