The sales of these counterfeit jeans actually profit criminals who run shady businesses like drug smuggling and human trafficking. It is in your best interest if you refuse to buy counterfeit 7 For All Mankind jeans. Follow these steps to avoid buying a fake pair.

Make sure that the label that lists the style and cut of the jeans is located on the inside. Fake 7 For All Mankind jeans often have this label hanging out from the outside of the jeans like a price tag.

Measure the front pocket tag. On an authentic pair, it should measure an inch and a quarter, and the numerical "7" of the logo should be fully visible. The fake tags only measure about an inch, with part of the "7" obscured.

Check the inside size tag of the jeans. On an authentic pair of 7 For All Mankind jeans, the tag should be a large square, off-white with distinctive stitching on the side in a light orange thread. On a fake pair, the tag is white with the stitching sloppy and barely visible.
