Any alternatives to Diesel ZAF or Zathan jeans?? Bootcut pants also...

I'm a big fan of slim bootcut Diesel Zathan and Zaf style denim jeans but Zaf's are totally discontinued and Zathans have limited distribution to stores and IMO now have lousy washes and distressing (compared to Zatiny and other models). I even hear they are being discontinued also. I'm looking for similar quality, heavy denim bootcut (typical Diesel). Further, it has become nearly impossible to find bootcut dress pants and khakis (I mean the dressier slimmer kind, not the baggy youth style chinos). Banana Republic used to carry them all the time but as the reviews indicate on their web site, and from my personal experience, the ones they have now are strictly for casual wear and super baggy.

I'm right there with you. Along with the Zef and Zathan the Ruky are also discontinued. The Zatiny are somewhat suitable, but i feel the bootcut isn't as wide as I would like, especially for the price. I've found the Guess bootcut are my only option at this point. they will have to do for now. I also agree with you on the khakis. I was able to find a pair at the Banana Republic outlet, but that was awhile back.

In a world of skinny jeans, there is no room for people like us.

I have six pair of Diesel four Zaf and two Zathan. Two of the four Zaf are brand new with tags. They are available for $200 a piece. They are a size 36x34. They are impossible to find anywhere.

Prices too high for me and size too big. So it's not a match :)

Macy's has 7 for all mankind on sale right now, $170 plus 25% off. Check out the Brett Modern Boot Cut, I just bought them and the cut is similar to Diesel Zathan. Good luck!
