People think 7 for All Mankind only makes jeans. The brand also makes twill trousers, corduroy flares, and a performance line that I did not expect to like and ended up wearing twice a week all autumn.
This piece is the non-denim side of the brand — what 7 for All Mankind pants actually look like across fabrics, and which ones deserve a spot in your rotation. For the full denim review, 7 for All Mankind Jeans covers that ground, and the umbrella brand overview lives at Brand Guides.
The fabric options most people miss
Outside of the core denim line, 7 for All Mankind pants fall into a few meaningful categories. There is the twill family — cotton-rich, chino-adjacent trousers with a slight stretch. There is the corduroy seasonal drop, typically mid-weight wales in fall-winter colorways. There is the soft-denim performance line (sometimes labeled “knit denim” or “all-day”) that uses a rayon blend and behaves more like a legging. And there is the occasional wool-blend trouser, which is closer to workwear than denim adjacent.
I have tried pants from all four categories over the past two years. My hit rate: twill is reliable, corduroy is excellent when the cut is current, performance denim is situational, wool blends are too niche to recommend broadly.
The twill trousers I actually wear
I own the High Waist Slim Kick in a cotton twill — essentially the jean cut rendered in a chino fabric. The composition is 97% cotton, 3% elastane, 9.5 oz weight. It reads as a dressier version of a weekend jean. I paid $168 at retail in 2024.
The fit is the same as the denim version: true to size at 29, rise at 10.5 inches, a kick flare at the hem that opens to about 14 inches. The twill wrinkles more than denim — expect visible creases at the back of the knee after a full day of sitting. The upside is that it feels lighter and cooler in summer than denim does.
The color holds. Mine is in an ivory and after 15 washes it is still ivory, not greyed out. Cold wash, inside out, line dry has kept it clean.
The corduroy that surprised me
I was skeptical about spending designer money on corduroy, because corduroy looks dated fast when the cut is off. The 7 for All Mankind flare cord I bought in 2023 — a mid-rust color, true flare cut — has turned out to be the pants I get the most compliments on. The wale is medium (14-wale, specifically), which sits between fine pin cord and chunky wide wale. It does not look costumey.
Fabric is 98% cotton, 2% elastane. Weight is substantial — I would estimate 11 oz, though the label does not say. The texture catches light so it reads as more expensive than the $198 I paid.
The one drawback: the pile is wearing down at the inner thigh after two seasons of wear. Corduroy always does this. If it bothers you, either buy a pair you will rotate into heavier seasonal use or accept that year-three will show visible wear there.
The performance denim I was skeptical of
The soft-denim line — sometimes called “second skin” or “all-day” depending on the season — uses a blend with significant rayon and modal content. The feel is closer to a ponte pant than a traditional jean. My initial reaction on the Slim Illusion pull-on was that it felt cheap. After a week of travel, I changed my mind. They pack like nothing, they do not need a belt, and they look like real jeans from across the room.
Fit runs slightly generous — I sized down one to a 28 in this line and the waist was still comfortable. That is different from the denim line, where 29 is always my correct size.
The fabric does pill after about 20 washes, mostly at the inner thigh. This is a limitation of rayon blends — you cannot get pill-free performance denim at any price. If that bothers you, skip the category. If you pack this for travel and rotate it with other pants, it earns its keep.
Where to buy 7 for All Mankind pants
Retail on most cuts in this range sits between $168 and $228. Current new stock at 7 For All Mankind Pants on Amazon rotates with seasonal drops; for direct retailer availability with full color range, Shop on ShareASale catches more seasonal exclusives.
Secondhand is where the twill and cord live in abundance — people over-buy them and they end up on resale. 7 For All Mankind Pants on Poshmark is where I have gotten two of my best pairs for under $50 each.
What about sizing across the categories
A note worth stating clearly: a 29 in the denim line is not always a 29 in the twill line or the performance line. My experience — 29 in denim, 29 in twill, 28 in performance, 30 in the wool-blend cuts I tried. Always check the garment measurements on the product page if you are ordering online. For detailed numeric sizing across all cuts, 7 for All Mankind Size Chart has the specifics.
The verdict
7 for All Mankind pants beyond the denim line are worth a look if you already like the brand’s fit and want to extend that fit to non-denim cuts. The twill trousers are the safest bet — they behave like a dressier weekend jean and hold color well. The corduroy is excellent when the cut is on-trend, which right now it is. The performance line is travel-friendly but not a full replacement for real denim. Skip the wool-blend cuts unless you specifically need office trousers and have already exhausted better office-wear brands. The smartest entry point for anyone new to the pants side of the brand is a single pair of twill in their exact denim size, bought on a 20-30% off sale.

FAQ
Do 7 for All Mankind pants fit the same as the jeans?
Twill yes, corduroy yes, performance denim runs slightly generous (size down one), wool-blend runs slightly fitted (size up one). Always check the product page’s garment measurements when ordering unseen.
What is “knit denim” or “all-day”?
The brand’s performance line — a rayon-modal-elastane blend that looks like denim but behaves like a ponte pant. Good for travel, limited by pilling at around 20 washes.
Does the corduroy hold up?
Yes for two seasons of regular wear. The pile wears down at the inner thigh by year three. Rotate it to lighter wear or buy a second pair if you love the cut.
Are 7 for All Mankind pants worth the price versus a good chino brand?
If fit is the main variable, yes — the brand’s pattern grading is better than most chino labels. If fabric quality alone matters, dedicated chino brands often offer a heavier weight at the same price.
