If you searched for “DL1961 men’s Nick slim fit jeans in National Harbor,” there is one important detail to know first. The current DL1961 catalog does not show a Nick Slim jean with a National Harbor wash. Nick Slim is one men’s fit, while National Harbor is currently listed as a dark-indigo wash on the Russell Slim Straight jean. That small naming difference matters because it helps shoppers find the correct pair instead of confusing two DL1961 fits.

DL1961 describes Nick as a true slim fit with a streamlined leg that stays lean from the thigh toward the ankle. The brand’s current National Harbor product, however, is the Russell Slim Straight, which gives more room through the seat and thigh and stays straight from the knee toward the ankle. DL1961 Nick Slim collection and DL1961 Russell Slim Straight in National Harbor are the two official pages that make this difference clear.

Quick Facts

What Does “National Harbor” Mean Here?

In this product name, “National Harbor” is the name of the wash, not proof that the jeans are made for or sold only in National Harbor, Maryland. DL1961 lists the wash as National Harbor (Dark Indigo). The brand describes it as a deep indigo color with fading and whiskering. The jeans also use antique-silver-colored hardware, tonal stitching, a clean hem, and a black back patch.

This point is useful because the search phrase can sound like a location-based query. The official product information shows that National Harbor is the denim wash name on the current Russell Slim Straight jean.

Nick Slim vs. Russell Slim Straight

The Nick and Russell fits are not the same. Nick is the slimmer option. DL1961 calls Nick a true slim fit and says the leg stays streamlined from the thigh toward the ankle. Russell Slim Straight has a more relaxed seat and thigh, then keeps a straighter shape from the knee down.

So, if someone searches for “Nick Slim National Harbor,” the closest current official match is not a Nick jean in that wash. The current National Harbor wash belongs to the Russell Slim Straight style. This is why it is better to check the fit name before buying.

Fit, Size and Measurements

For the National Harbor Russell Slim Straight, DL1961 currently shows waist sizes from 28 to 42. The available inseam choices shown on the official page are 30, 32, and 34 inches. The listed leg opening is 15 inches, and the brand says the style runs true to size.

Bloomingdale’s also lists the same National Harbor jean as a slim-straight fit and says it fits true to size. Retailer stock can change, so exact sizes may be different from one store to another.

Fabric and Everyday Comfort

The National Harbor Russell uses DL1961’s DL Ultimate fabric. The official composition is 62% cotton, 36% TENCEL Lyocell, and 2% Lycra. The TENCEL content adds a softer fiber blend, while Lycra provides stretch.

According to DL1961, this fabric is designed to feel soft, keep its shape, stay breathable, and help with moisture movement. These are manufacturer claims, so they should be read as DL1961’s description of the fabric rather than independent test results. Bloomingdale’s confirms the same basic fiber composition on its current listing.

Price and Current Availability

At the time of this research, DL1961 lists the Russell Slim Straight Jeans in National Harbor at $208. Bloomingdale’s also shows the same $208 price. Prices, promotions, and stock can change, so it is a good idea to check the current listing before ordering.

What DL1961 Says About Production

DL1961 also publishes sustainability information for this pair. The company says production uses less than 10 gallons of water per jean and less than 1.00 kWh of energy. It also says ozone and laser technologies are used to create denim effects, and that certified cotton and/or fibers from post-consumer waste are used in its process.

These points come from DL1961’s own product page, so they are best presented as brand claims rather than independent environmental findings.

Final Note

The main thing to remember is simple: DL1961 Nick Slim is a true slim fit, but the current National Harbor dark-indigo wash is listed under Russell Slim Straight, style 11668. If you found the phrase “DL1961 men’s Nick slim fit jeans in National Harbor” through search, checking both fit names will help you reach the correct current product page without mixing the two styles.
