My Diesel Super Collection- 50 pairs, Pics and IDs!

Hey guys I found myself cleaning out and reorganizing my room so I figured why not share my collection with everyone!

Few things to note- I put these in order of Loosest to Tightest (I mostly went from the size at the bottom leg opening) from right to left which is why the Bootcuts and Trumpet Leg are on the right side where I will start and we end with Tepphar on the bottom left.  I will also put special information about each pair if any and also I'll put MII denoting which ones are Made In Italy so if it doesn't say MII that means they were not made in Italy.

So referring to the first overall shot, I will ID these starting from the top right going down and then to the next column going down and so on until we end on the left side.  Feel free to ask any questions on fit, sizing and for a close up photo of some particular pair.  Enjoy :)

Yes I'm 100% sure.  Thavar 884C has the Italian flag and it says Made In Italy inside the tag.  Darron 880F does NOT have the Italian flag but it says Made In Italy inside the tag.  Weird on the 880F, I'm not sure if it was every pair like that but mine are!

Then you my friend also have quite the collection.  The funny thing is that I gave 12 pairs away to my little cousin about 6 months ago!

no flag. and they went for 140 euros.... made in italy is more expensive right?

 

 

The Darron 886A was a typo that I corrected shortly after- I wrote they are but meant that they are NOT MII if you check back on that thread I corrected that.

And yea no flag and MII on the Darron 880F is weird.  MII usually is more expensive, I don't know if the quality is surely better but everything MII in general is always better or "more special" than made in China or Tunisia or Morocco or Romania.  Mostly the special washes like the Time Exposure, Light Exposure and the DNA ones are almost all MII (some exceptions like Darron 886A) and also more expensive but that could be because they're much more detailed, not just because they are MII.

I buy mine in the Diesel Retail Stores in New York.  It's very possible that there is difference from country to country.  The 884C wash in your picture has no Italian flag but my Thavar 884C have that MII Italian Flag.

That's interesting, where did you buy them and about how much did you pay in USD?

According to european trade law if any part of the manufacturing or packaging process is done in any given country then that country can say it was "made" in that country. therefore if even the tag is placed on the jeans in Italy then it can sell them as made in Italy. But I've bought a lot of diesel jeans and from what I can estimate, it seems that Italy can only handle low volume of washes so washes with additional treatments are done there because of the highly skilled workforce and plain washes which sell in higher volumes are done abroad to keep costs down at increased outputs. Labour costs in Italy are a lot higher than morocco. That's my theory anyway.

This sounds like a great theory that I agree with! Definitely more skill in Italy because almost all of the most special and detailed washes end up being MII.  Plus, they probably have better equipment for making special denim in Italy since that's where the brand and its main Headquarters originated and currently reside!

BTW Larkee 88z which cost around 100€ is also MII.

 

You've intrigued me, I will now look for those Thanaz 8WW :)

I have Thanaz 61E in transit from Lithuania, waiting on them to arrive! The only one I'm missing then would be Thanaz 8GZ then I have everything I truly want from old school Diesel.

As far as the 88Z wash- that is an old wash from years ago when basically every Diesel was MII, so the older pairs are indeed MII.  But 88Z, a classic Diesel Raw wash stayed around for a long time and if you check now, most of them are NOT MII anymore and they are one of the lowest price point denim you can get at Diesel!
