I love this. 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

Years ago when I was a lean, mean 145 pounds and 5′10, I went to a fancy jeantique in San Francisco, which sold 7s and other fancy jeans. 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.

32 inchesis their largest! 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?

I just love your attitude! ;-) And I’ll put that $200 towards a handbag that doesn’t discriminate by size.

[...] Plumcake… First of all, the idea of $200 denim makes my slapping hand itch just on principle. Any pair of jeans with that sort of price tag had better be made out of the swaddling clothes of baby angels and come with a small but powerful electronic device, and y’all know I don’t mean an iPod.

I am with Christina… 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.

As astute reader Caitlin pointed out the Seven jeans sold at Lane Bryant are not in anyway related to Seven for All Mankind.

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 love, love my Seven jeans from Lane Bryant! 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.

The 7 jeans at Lane Bryant were an off shoot of 7 for all Mankind. At least according to my friend who used to work there. I don’t know if they are still being sold at LB as my friend is no longer working there.

If one is looking for nice jeans, one should scurry over to JC Penney, where they have C7P jeans. Said jeans are made by the designer Chip&Pepper, and go up to size 17! They are the exact same material as the $150 + version sold and Nordstroms, and are just as stylish. They are also significantly shorter than the “designer” version, for our shorter fashionistas. Hope someone finds this usefull…
