The verdict
Fit
Wide through the thigh and leg opening; sits at the hip naturally; the denim drape will settle and relax slightly with wear.
Quality
Standard 7FAM construction; denim weight and seaming typical of their shorts line.
Is the price fair?
Mid-premium—the wide-leg cut is trend-informed, not a material upgrade, so pricing reflects brand positioning.
Best for
Men wanting a relaxed, contemporary silhouette in denim from an established brand.
Care
Standard denim care; cold wash and gentle drying preserve the cut.
What owners report about 7 For All Mankind shorts
Owners describe 7 For All Mankind's denim shorts much like the brand's jeans: soft, substantial stretch denim that feels comfortable from the first wear, and reviewers on DenimBlog rate the brand's quality highly. Fit reports conflict, though — the brand overall is said to run slightly large, yet renters of the pleated short reported it running small far more often than large. Retailer reviews add durability complaints, with some buyers reporting shorts wearing through in the same spot within a year of light use or getting damaged after only a couple of washes.
- Strengths
- Soft, comfortable stretch denim that owners say feels good immediately, with the brand's fabric quality repeatedly praised.
- Watch out for
- Sizing is inconsistent from style to style, and a minority of buyers report shorts wearing through or being damaged within a year or after a few washes.
- Sizing
- Fit reports vary noticeably by style — the brand is often said to run slightly large, but several shorts styles come back as running small — so check the specific style's measurements rather than assuming your usual size.
