Diesel Matic Denim Archive
A living Vintage District Antwerp reference built from 13 real Diesel Matic pieces documented in VDA inventory. Stock status is read directly from Shopify, while sold pairs remain part of the permanent archive.

Only pairs currently available to buy appear here. When one sells, it automatically leaves this grid but remains in the measurement archive below.
What 13 Real Pairs Tell Us
The archive shows how one model name can appear across different sizes, rises, fits, fabrics and washes. Exact garment measurements are therefore more useful than relying on the model name or W/L label alone.
These observations describe individual second-hand pieces handled by VDA. They are not official manufacturer sizing specifications.

The Diesel Matic Denim Archive documents real pre-owned Matic jeans handled by Vintage District Antwerp, using original product photography, physical labels, wash codes, flat measurements, fit notes, materials and current or archived status from individual garments.

Diesel Matic Jeans: History, Fit, Washes & VDA Archive Guide →Matic variations documented by VDA
Across the current VDA sample, Diesel Matic appears in Slim, Slim Tapered, Straight Slim and Skinny records, with a consistently low-rise profile. Physically verified wash codes currently include 0016U, 0081P, 008IG, 008GX, 008N1, 008J7, 0089S and 008A8.
Two earlier catalogue records were corrected after rechecking the original waistband labels: the W26 L32 blue pair is recorded as 008IG, and the W27 L32 black pair as 008J7 with Slim-Tapered printed on the label. VDA preserves the literal physical-label reading rather than normalising similar-looking codes.
Measurements and alteration notes
Within the documented sample, flat waist measurements run approximately 33–39 cm, front rise 15–17 cm and leg opening 12–16 cm. Tagged size and measured size are stored separately because second-hand garments can differ through grading, fabric behaviour, wear or alteration.
Important: one black Matic tagged W26 L32 measures 70 cm at the inseam and 86 cm total length because it was professionally shortened. Those are its real current measurements, but the pair is not treated as evidence of factory L32 length variation.
Dating and provenance
VDA records the date line printed on internal garment labels rather than inferring a year from wash, styling or model name. Verified examples include 008IG — 28-09-07, 008GX — 10-05-07, 0016U — 04-06-09 and 008A8 — 02-07-09. The archived 0089S pair has also been physically verified by VDA as carrying a 2006 internal-label reference; where a dated label photograph is not available for publication, the archive does not pretend otherwise.
Origin claims such as Made in Italy, fabric composition and stretch information are likewise recorded from physical garment labels where available.
Why the exact pair matters
The Matic model name and wash code are useful identifiers, but they do not replace garment-level measurements. Two VDA examples carrying wash code 008GX share a 2007 internal-label reference, 98% cotton / 2% elastane composition and Made in Italy attribution, yet the recorded fit and dimensions differ. The editorial guide analyses that comparison without claiming a cause that the garments cannot prove.
How to compare a Diesel Matic
Compare the flat waist, front rise, inseam and leg opening with a pair you already own, and check the fabric composition and any alteration note. A wash code identifies the documented treatment family; it is not a universal fit specification.
