UPDATED – Denim Review: Diesel Matic 8B3
I previously posted this blog post in Feburary when I first got these jeans as they were released. A lot of people were asking for worn pictures for this Diesel Matic 8B3 review. I have finally gotten around to taking some modeled photos for you to see. They are below. Please excuse them being a bit tight in the butt area, since they are rigid they are a lot harder to break in for those of us with a tush, haha!
This weeks denim review is on a pair I recently bought; Diesel Matic 8B3. I am a huge fan of distressing and that is what caught my attention with these jeans. They are absolutely gorgeous! For all you Diesel experts out there, you will understand what I mean when I say the wash is like a mix between 71J and 61X, the blue of the denim is what reminds me of a darker 71J and the rusty patches on the jeans reminds me of 61X. The distressing has heavy reinforcements on the inside so they don’t rip anymore than intended as well. They used really pretty fabrics for this; sparkly silver and a pinstripe white and blue cotton. The hems come pre-distressed too, which I love, it saves you worrying about ruining them yourself…
Please click this blog post to read the rest of the review and view lots of photos modeled by me and laid flat on the floor to show lots of detail.
I have a couple of issues with these jeans though; they are 100% cotton so they are not very comfortable, but then you can expect that with a lot of Diesel jeans, the washes normally make up for that. Also the patches that reinforce the distressed areas on the jeans are quite bulky so they don’t let the jeans sit normally against your knees. One of my other issues with Matic is I much prefer the way the older Matic fitted from 2006-2007; it was much skinnier from the knee down and a bit larger in the waist, the new ones are pretty baggy in the calf and tighter in the waist. They don’t give the super skinny look that I used to love Matic for. Also I couldn’t find these jeans in a 30 leg at the time, so the 32 don’t fit as perfect as I had hoped, the distressing doesn’t quite fall in the right places. Other than these personal issues I absolutely love the jeans! If you are a big fan of Diesel then you will love them as well.
Overall Opinion
The wash is absolutely beautiful, you can tell loads of time was spent creating such a gorgeous colour and the distressing is perfectly done, it’s reinforced as well which really helps. They have the classic new style Matic fit and pretty plain pockets too, they only have the simple Diesel V embroidered on them. I adore these jeans but they are not the perfect jeans if you care a lot about comfort as they are rigid. Buy these jeans at Diesel.

Another photo of the inside of the jean. It also has strips of blue plastic fabric to stop the distressed patches from ripping even more. I think it’s a great idea.

I am drooling over this wash! thank you for such detail. I have a huge spot in my heart for diesel.
You are welcome
They really are gorgeous, each pair is so different 
Some are lighter and some are darker, Diesel is so good for that. This pair is around my 25th pair of Diesel lol or more haha!
OMG OMG GORGEOUSSS! Wish they had stretch though- then they’d be the jeans to end all jeans
GR8 review!
I tried these on at my local Diesel store. The wash was a lot lighter than I was hoping. They didn’t look as dark as they do on the model in the “sex sells” ad. I wasn’t crazy about the fit either. They’re kind of loose in the thighs, taking away from the look as a skinny jean. Although I like the concept of these jeans, but they didn’t really work for me.
I know, rigid Matic are definitely not for everyone, I much prefer the stretch ones, they are beautiful
it is definitely a lot lighter than the sex sells advert though, I agree there, I think the contrast and lighting has something to do with that 
[...] I absolutely love these jeans! I did a review on them a while back because the wash is so gorgeous. You can read the review here. Elle really looks fantastic, she always does but there is something about this outfit I love, the [...]
Lorna, could i ask what size you’re taking from these jeans? could we readers see pics of you wearing them? TIA!
I had to size up to a 28, I’m normally a 27 in Diesel Matic but since these are 100% cotton I had to size up
Sure I will take some photos at some point for you and update the review
