I've been looking for a really well fitting classic bootcut jeans for summer, I need to go and try some on (obviously) just wondered how their sizing comes up. Also the length. I'm 5'1. Many thanks

I got some great indigo classic rise, bootcut in 10S from Sainsburys. Great length, am 5ft2. Am aware they sound like a mum jean but they are really nice honest.

I LOVE Diesel jeans..I am currently pregnant and can't get them past my knees..They dont come in short length so you will have to have them shortened.
What do you want to know? I usually get mine from Ebay , they are fab for curvy peeps like me.

You can get lots of different lengths if you go to the Diesel shop. I love diesel jeans - have one pair that are falling to bits but can't afford another pair.

I too love deisel jeans - have a few pairs, all fit me perfectly and all from TKMaxx at very discounted prices... compared to other jeans I'd say they come up a bit small and long, but v flattering...

SIzing is small, they come in different leg lengths but not every shop will stock them and they last YEARS.

ooh excellent, thanks for all your replies. I was looking at these Ronhar jeans I will certainly look in TK Maxx.

Bishboshone - I did have a look on ebay, are they the genuine article? It looks very tempting
Think I need to try on sizes, I usually wear a size 8 in jeans so thinking that would be a w26
Thanks again for all your replies ladies

ronhar are good and a bit higher waisted than others. They can be very low. I have got Ronhars in a lovely dark blue from TK maxx for a fiver before. I am usually a 10 and wear 28 as I am curvy. I would think 26 is about right for an 8. Yes ebay are real or at least all the ones I have bought are. I happily buy second hand as I like them looking a bit worn, anthey soften with age.

bishboshone, thanks so much for the links. I;m holding back from ebay for the mo, for one thing I've never used ebay before Shock and the second thing is I will try them and then if I get size and style sorted I will def go back and checkout ebay - it would be a crime not to!

I think I prefer the worn/slightly scuffed look too, I also prefer a mid to darker denim

yes, I agree try them on.. you may be 25 or 27 waist. and all the cuts coe up differently anyway. Ebay is fine..honestly I have about 30 pairs of Diesel jeans and lots have come from Ebay. I love the used ones, they are really soft and comfy. Good luck

moragbellingham · 15/04/2011 20:57

My old fave's from years ago (when I could spend ££ on jeans) were bootcut 29 inch waist 30 inch legs - not sure if they are still available. I'm 5 2 and found them good length.
why don't you try a inbetween size waist from ASOS (free delivery & returns) and then buy from the actual Diesel website.

Have you tried m and m direct? they do diesel jeans and are often ££ cheaper then RRP
