History
Dahan and Glasser, denim designers who had worked in the apparel industry for years, created the company in response to what they saw as a void in the contemporary denim market. Focusing on female denim wearers, it has been stated that the company was successful because of the fit, fabrics, washes, attention to detail, and the logo on the product’s back pockets.[3]7 For All Mankind’s proximity to Los Angeles makes the brand popular with celebrities and urban young adults.[4]Prince Harryhas also been photographed in the jeans.[5]
Apparel
7 For All Mankind jeans are characteristically tight-fitting and low-rise.[6]
The denim collection uses various pocket embroidery designs. The signature logo is found on their various styles, including bootcut and low-rise jeans. Their A-pocket jean consists of an “A” stitched on the pocket and sometimes incorporating Swarovski Crystals. The Dojo jean consists of a “7” on the pocket, the Kate features V-shaped embroidery. It is not always possible to determine the cut or fit of a 7 For All Mankind jean by the pocket design alone.
