Diesel v Mankind
Posted: April 19th, 2008 | Author: Sandra | Filed under: Designer Denim, Jeans | No Comments »The key issue, for me, when distiguishing between jeans is cost, design and durability.
Diesel is by far the cheapest make of the two, but is it worth spending more and going for Mankind? The designs for Mankind tend to be slightly more over the top when it comes to colouring, and slightly more risky; and I think it pays off.
When it comes to which one lasts the longest, well, I’d have to say that Mankind offers perhaps a longer lasting impression. I do have a pair of both, both of which are relatively new, but my Diesel pair seems to be showing more signs of wear; after similar periods of usage as the Mankind pair. Especially at the bottom where it rubs on the floor.
Perhaps this shows that with Mankind you get more bang with your buck and the £150+ it’s going to cost you for a pair (I got mine from TK Maxx for £40; boast, boast) maybe they are the better option.
