7 for All Mankind’s Green Jeans: Yosemite Organic Denim

7-for-all-mankind-yosemite-bootcut.jpg

I know there are lots of our readers out there who are seriously dedicated to 7 For All Mankind!

Did you know you can slip into a pair of Seven’s that don’t support pesticide use?  Yosemite organic denim is 7 For all Mankind’s first organic denim and the company is using the denim in several styles of skinnies, bootcuts, and more.  7FAM’s Yosemite is a non-stretch fabrication with subtle indigo fading weaved throughout the front and rear.  Then its finished with green enameled hardware.  They are available in both men’s and women’s styles. 

These certainly don’t sacrifice anything in the way of Seven’s signature style.  The more people who buy these blue (or rather green) jeans, the more dexterous the company will be to expand into ever greener pastures of organic cotton.  Have you gotten a pesticide-free pair of 7’s yet?

Here are just some styles of the 7 for All Mankind jeans available in the Yosemite Organic denim:

Blue Goes Green: Eco friendly denim!

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

I’ll be the first one to admit that denim trends move so quickly that I can barely keep up at times.  This past year alone we’ve all experienced the skinny leg, the wide leg, high-waisted denim and even colored denim.  With all these crazy trends you can never be too sure what trends will have staying power.  So what’s a person to do?  No need to be blue, in honor of Earth Day today - why not go green?

Eco-Friendly denim is good for the environment for several reasons: it’s easier to dispose of when you want to get rid of your old denim, and the dyes are safer for the earth. During my quest to find environmentally conscience brands, I found this great guide about how to recycle your old denim.  Here are some truly amazing environmentally friendly brands that I want to share:

J Brand Green Label.  These jeans are not only environmentally friendly, but they come in a super cute organic tote bag. The bag features tips on how to live a more environmentally conscience lifestyle.  Sounds like a great idea, people need to how to change their lifestyles and not just what they wear.  J Brand Green Label Monroe jeans, $227 at Singer22

James Jeans’ use four eco-friendly denim techniques: they use only 100 percent organic cotton, organic dyes to color their jeans, natural latex to keep them waterproof, and organic olive leaf extract used during the finishing process.

Greencaste by Earnest Sewn is using techniques like air-drying jeans, replacing detergents with natural surfactants, and eliminating all resins from the 3-D finishing process.

According to a global survey - yes.  And how cool is it that Levi’s is doing the “green jean” thing by offering denim made from organic cotton?!  Their cuts are updated to fit women nicely, like the one above - the Ultra Low Bootcut.  Would you trade your designer denim for a great fitting pair of Levi’s?  Is it all about the fit or the label? 

LONDON - Levi’s came out as the clear global favourite in a recent survey about jeans, with more than one in five respondents nominating the brand as their preferred choice.

Market research company Synovate surveyed around 7,700 people in the US, Canada, Brazil, France, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Serbia, Russia and South Africa. Continue reading ‘Are Levi’s the new “IT” jean? Some sources say yes!’

Fashion Week in L.A. and Seattle brings a consciousness about Green Jeans

slingstone jeans and Supima denim

This week was fashion week in both L.A. and Seattle. Yes, Seattle. Winning awards for their Supima denim in L.A. were Goldsign, Seven for All Mankind, Paige Premium Denim, J Brand and more. What is Supima denim you might ask…Supima is the world’s finest cotton. Of the over 115 million bales of cotton produced worldwide each year, less than 1% is qualified to carry the Supima name. Supima, short for Superior Pima, is renowned for its superior fiber length, strength and natural luster. Seattle’s fashion week also brought awareness about Sling and Stones, an organic designer denim with 24kt gold rivets. Check out the HonestForum discussion on Green Jeans. Would you buy them?
