I had a few pairs of Diesel jeans and also had the issue that the crotch area got a hole in it when the rest of the jeans were still fine. At least one of them was the Larkee model. I think the combination of relatively lightweight/thin material (versus the full on selvedge) and relatively close fit means that the crotch area gets a lot of strain on the material as you move, so wears out. I didn't really find a good option as an alternative - I did some research without finding a good option so just decided not to wear jeans much. Firstly with thicker material (selvedge) I just thought the material would be too warm for me outside of cold winter days. Secondly while I don't want really tight fitting jeans I do want at least a "Straight" fit in Diesel terms because I have relatively small calves, so anything wider e.g. bootcut doesn't fit me in a way I like. But then my upper legs are relatively wide for my height so that probably makes the material tighter around crotch area. Maybe I'm an odd shape...
For jeans bought in 2015 without a receipt I would not expect a manufacturer to be providing a replacement. Even with a receipt, I think everyday clothes are an item that cannot last forever, 8 years later is too long to expect free repair/replacement unless the company has a clear lifetime guarantee.

Reply to To replace Diesel jeans-they are dead to me. Have 5 pairs, one type, Larkee, systematically wore in the crotch area and the company won’t help me without a receipt for jeans bought in 2015. What’s a good replacement brand for dress jeans I can wear in the office? by Pretty1george
