    I know you stated it's diesel Ireland but for those unaware this is not the same company as the huge international diesel company who sell high quality / expensive jeans

    I always wondered about that. Are these two completely different companies?

    Yes, Diesel Ireland is an Irish Company, not connected to the Italian Company at all.

    Diesel Ireland is just a regular clothing brand.

    So the Diesel shops in Ireland, are they all the Diesel Ireland brand or Diesel Italian or both?

    Yes they are. When diesel were registering their name they thought the uk and ireland were the same. Somebody noticed their mistake and set up their own business using the same name and a lot of people dont know the difference. The irish diesel is nothing like the Italian brand.

    I wouldn't go as far to say they are crap. Their t-shirts are actually pretty good quality considering the price.

    They are no different than other brands such as Crosshatch, Jack n Jones, Superdry. Infact their t-shirts are better quality than those three in my opinion.

    Every year these bring attention to themselves with their sale. But at the same time they rely on people not knowing that there is a difference between the two :confused:
    Seeing as they rely mainly on people not distinguishing the difference, I wonder why they do it.

    P.S. Their stuff is crap. it shrinks, rips, turns to cardboard and if there is lettering, it falls off.
    Poorly made using poor materials.

    This is news to me but makes perfect sense. I bought several pairs of Diesel jeans over the past couple of years and the quality was shocking, buttons falling off, holes appearing in pockets after a couple of uses, rips and wear with little use, I had wondered why their quality had gone downhill

    No comparison between the rubbish from Diesel Ireland and Diesel International - I too was fooled once years ago! Usually good value on here for "real" Diesel jeans - http://www.mandmdirect.ie/

    Beware of that site. Most of their stuff is seconds.

    I don't know about that but I've bought 5 or 6 pairs of Diesel International jeans from them and they've been perfect! I'd be very surprised if a big site like that was selling 2nds as normal retail stock!

    I don't think so, as far as I know it's just old season stuff, from previous years. Similar to Kildare village

    Exactly the same as Kildare Village, old season stuff with other stuff that didn't quite make it through quality control. And they would have cheaper brands than Kildare Village.

    A lot of people have claimed they received seconds from them e.g. here's a thread from last week: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=101671022

    You might get lucky, you might not.
