<p><strong>N</strong>ow that those <a href="http://blog.universalgear.com/2010/06/coming_soon_20_new_diesel_styl.html">20+ new Diesel styles</a> are unpacked and on our shelves, we thought you might appreciate a quick <a href="http://www.universalgear.com/istar.asp?a=29&manufacturer=DSL&dept=01&class=04">Diesel denim</a> fit guide. Here's the low-down on the five fits that Universal Gear offers online and in stores.</p>

<table><td><a href="http://www.universalgear.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=VIKER-8D8!DSL"><img alt="dieseldenimguide_viker" src="http://blog.universalgear.com/IMAGES/dieseldenimguide_viker" width="150" height="166" /></a></td><td><p><strong><a href="http://www.universalgear.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=VIKER-8D8!DSL">Viker</a></strong> - The Diesel Viker: the every man's straight-legged jean. The great thing about straight leg denim is that it fits just about anyone. It's versatile.  The right wash paired with a sharp dress shirt is the perfect look for a casual workday or a first date. Every guy should have at least one straight-legged pair of denim in his closet!</p></td></table>

<table><td><p><strong><a href="http://www.universalgear.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=SAFADO-8E7!DSL">Safado</a></strong> - The Safado is Diesel's slim straight leg cut. It's slimmer than the Viker Str8 Leg, so if you feel that the Viker is too form fitting, this definitely isn't the style for you.  The Safado is a nice alternative to the Skinny Jean; it's not skin tight but it gives a great slim silhouette.</p></td><td><a href="http://www.universalgear.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=SAFADO-8E7!DSL"><img alt="dieseldenimguide_safado" src="http://blog.universalgear.com/IMAGES/dieseldenimguide_safado" width="150" height="166" /></a></td></table>
 
<table><td><a href="http://www.universalgear.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=ZATHAN-8ZT!DSL"><img alt="dieseldenimguide_zathan" src="http://blog.universalgear.com/IMAGES/dieseldenimguide_zathan" width="150" height="166" /></a></td><td><p><strong><a href="http://www.universalgear.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=ZATHAN-8ZT!DSL">Zathan</a></strong> - The Ultimate Boot-Cut! The Diesel Zathan has been one of Diesel's top selling and long-lasting styles. It tapers at the knee and flares out to create a sharp boot-cut.  <strong>NOTE:</strong> If you have larger thighs, the Zathan may not be for you.</p></td></table>

<table><td><p><strong><a href="http://www.universalgear.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=ZATINY-88Z!DSL&relatedparent=ZATINY-8XR!DSL">Zatiny</a></strong> - The Diesel Zatiny is a hybrid of a boot-cut and straight leg denim. Ideal for an average to lean build, it sits low on the waist and tapers at the knee to hug the thigh, making for a sexy fit.</p></td><td><a href="http://www.universalgear.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=ZATINY-88Z!DSL"><img alt="dieseldenimguide_zatiny" src="http://blog.universalgear.com/IMAGES/dieseldenimguide_zatiny" width="150" height="166" /></a></td></table>

Look no further than the Diesel Zhav! This amazing boot-cut jean is perfect for the guy who wants a little extra room in the thigh area.</p></td></table>
