Seven Jeans
Posted by m&m_hk (212 days ago)
Anybody knows where I can find 7 For All Mankind Jeans in Hong Kong?
Since I wore my first 7 Jeans in 2005, I can't seem to wear any other brands. I think it's a girl thing about the butt-lifting effect.
Appreciate any help...

I love them too. Lane Crawford sells them here.

That was quick...thanks a lot!
Any idea about the price? Is it more or less the price in the US?

I would imagine that they're cheaper in the States as it's a US label. THey're around $2000. There's also a shop in the Pedder Building, 1st floor, called Safari. THey sometimes have Seven jeans, but only a limited range, and usually very small sizes. THey're only about $450 there.

M&M, I went to Shenzen last weekend and go myself 2 pairs of those (am sure they are fake but can not tell the difference!) - they had to take them up for me so with work it was $160 each! and I think I overpaid - someone later said should have been more like $100 each - so here is something to consider!

Idsllyn, where in Shenzen did you get your jeans?Lo Wu?Which floor/shop?Thanks

M&M, if you really love Seven jeans, I wouldn't recommend getting a fake pair from Shenzhen. Yes, they might look similar, but I don't think the cut will be the same and therefore the fit will not be what you're looking for. And unless you're planning to go to Shenzhen anyway, it's probably not worth it when you have to factor into it the cost of the train, the cost of the visa, the cost of your time.

Sogo stock some 7 gear, sorry I can't explain where but they have a big sign. Also Citygate at Tung Chung have a 7 store but it did find the jeans to be smaller than the Sevens I have now. I've tried heaps of brands but only Sevens fit me.

I already fell for a fake one [Idsllvn] and Shoegirl is right --- the fit is definitely not the same. Im looking for an authentic one. But if I can find a fake that fits exactly the same (which I doubt), I dont mind at all.
Allynz, Sogo? Really? That's definitely worth checking.
The one in Tung Chung is Seven Jeans and not 7 For all Mankind.
They are different. I have not tried though. Is it really good?

M&M, I cant remember exactly where it was - there are a few jeans places there - 4th floor seems to ring a bell. Anyway, for HK$160 it is worth a try anyway - I found the fit is fine - and I can NEVER find jeans to fit me! But I agree, unless you are going to Shenzhen anyway for other things, it is prob not worth going just for the jeans.

Ahh so that must be why they didn't fit properly, the look really similar and have the same logo on the bum. Sogo might be the same then but I did buy a really nice wool knit jersey from there, pretty much the only thing I have bought in HK so maybe worth a look anyway. Keep an eye out for Citizens of Humanity brand too - it is the same designer and they fit the same.

I have a fantastic pair i bought recently in "the lanes" (opposite h&M Queens road central). There is a shops called "good price shop", which upstairs stocks an impressive jeans collection. I bought mine for 150hkd...
Im pretty sure the factory is in shenzhen, i was there last week and saw many shops selling them...

damn! I knew I paid too much then - HK$150 plus $10 for taking them up - in Shenzhen! Note to everyone buying jeans there - if you can get them in HK for $150 - then they should be more like $100 there!

Allynz --- you're right! I have a pair of Citizens of Humanity and they too are great. But, I really must have another 7ForAllMankind pair.
Armadillo --- I know which shop u r talking about. But when I got there, they only have Victoria Beckham jeans (what do u call it?) and True Religion.

Can someone tell me whether the shop (Good Price Shop) mentioned by Armadillo in central, stocks real or fake jeans??
I too love my 7 For All Mankind Jeans;)

sk76 - do you really think that the real ones will be $150?

Posted by sk76 (204 days ago)
Idsllvn - The reason I ask is because the previous post said they were a "fantastic pair" ... for anyone who owns a real pair of 7s, the fit is amazing and wouldn't really really rate a fake brand. Just wanted to make sure. For all I know the shop could be selling seconds or something!

I have bought things from the Good Price Shop and most of their stuff is seconds or overruns, not copies. They apparently buy in bulk from the manufacturers. Don't forget that a lot of these top designers have their factories in China and when they place an order, the usual practice, I've been told, is for the manufacturer to make extras in case they have problems with shipping, etc. If there are no problems, they then sell them off at ridiculous prices to these people who own the export shops. THey usually cut out the label so people can't take the items back to the proper shops. So I think you'd be safe buying from this shop. But unfortunately they don't have any Seven jeans.

Hi I tried to find the Good Price Shop in the lanes the other day but no luck.Can anyone give me some clear directions?Is it in the lanes directly opposite H&M or further down Queens Road?Also is it one Queens road side or Des Voeux?Thanks for your help!

Des Voeux - it is sort of the middle lane - the downstairs has baby shoes and clothes and jeans are upstairs - they still had them last week - I got a pair

I got a pair today, $168 + $5 cut. I must say it has a good fitting. They have 3 designs left, one only has size 26; one has size 28; and the other one has size 28 and 30. Tinky, it's in Li Yuen EAST, near Queens Road.
