Thank you so much for writing this! I too am tired of seeing this particular brand that claims to be for everyone, yet will never even get past my knees when I was at my skinniest. But I do have a problem paying $200 for jeans. I just wish there was something between the cheaper ones that just aren't the nicest and the $200 ones. That is hilarious!

I put on a pair of Seven jeans in khols the otherday, totally prepared to pay the semi reasonable fifty nine dollar price tag. In the dressing room when i tried these on my friend heard me sstruggling and asked "so do they button?" I responded "well, the button, but i think the lack of blood flow to my legs might be prpblamatic if iintened to do any walking moving or well breathing for that matter" Ps plumcake will you be my best friend I love this.

Not one. pair. fit. Not that they weren't flattering -- not one pair could come up over my thighs -- they stopped short about four inches under my crotch, hung up on my thighs. The shopgirl simply shrugged and said they didn't carry anything in large sizes. And I was at that time clinically underweight (although the bmi wouldn't say so -- don't get me started--) anyway, ever since then I have known that those 7s are the Playpants of the Devil.

Sweet lord, I'm a size 4 on a good day, 6 after inhaling something at Taco Bell, and because I have actual HIPS and a BUTT and a little bit of a GUT I can barely squeeze into one of their 28 inchers. I bought a pair of 27 inchers a year ago from them at Nordstrom Rack, which were nice and strechy so they worked. Until I was dancing at a friends party and they ripped right in the butt! Seven for All Mankind? How about Seven For All Mankind 100 LBS and Under? 32 inchesis their largest!

If you are going to spend $200 for jeans go take a look at Svboda. Her jeans are gorgeous, well-made and worth every penny.

From an article in DSN Retailing Today, January 10, 2005

“Seven has proven to be a lucky name for jeanswear branding and sales but an unlucky number when it comes to lawsuits.

Hip designer jeanwear brand Seven For All Mankind, launched in 2000, filed a copyright infringement suit against Express in 2003 regarding its launch of Seven7 jeans.

However, it turns out that Seven7 is a registered trademark that has existed for decades, owned as Seven Licensing Co. by industry veteran Gerard Guez, chairman of Tarrant Apparel Group, who filed a countersuit.

Undeterred, Lane Bryant has just jumped into the fray with a line of plus-size Seven7 branded jeans and tops.”

I'm 6 feet tall and they are the only jeans I have bought from a retail store that have both length and not total craziness on the rise - they go higher than I'd like, but I'm short waisted and have come to terms with that. I also hate how cheap my plus-size denim looks from Lane Bryant or Old Navy, so I have been thrilled to pay $100+ for my Svoboda jeans and Paige Premium denim jeans from Nordstrom's website. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I love, love my Seven jeans from Lane Bryant!
