7 for All Mankind was founded in Los Angeles in 2000 by Peter Koral, Michael Glasser, and Jerome Dahan.
The label helped popularize premium denim in the early 2000s, when jeans were increasingly marketed as luxury or designer garments rather than only as workwear. Its products became known for distinctive pocket stitching, carefully selected fabrics, and a more tailored fit.
The brand’s name is often shortened to “Seven” in fashion coverage, but its full official name is 7 for All Mankind. It is also separate from Citizens of Humanity, another Los Angeles premium-denim company associated with designer Jerome Dahan.
Premium-denim brands typically emphasize fabric development, finishing, construction, and fit. Those features helped create a large market for expensive jeans at the start of the twenty-first century.
