< Home < Seven for all mankind ~ SFAM vs Citizens sizing

litebrite · : 03-15-2005, 12:23 AM

I'm really wanting to buy a pair of citizens on ebay.. and I found a pair that wasn't too too expensive from 'thetrendshopping': http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWA:IT

So to the girls (and guys?) who've worn both SFAM and Citizens.. will I be able to fit in that pair above if I'm a 24 in SFAM?? I've gained 'bout 5 lbs as of late and I find that my current jeans in a size 24 still fit me well (better than before... cuz they were a little loose on me)... maybe just a tiiiny bit snug in the waist when I sit down.

Any chance these citizens will fit?! I see from the description that they're a 7" rise.. which is a good sign already... since most of the other pairs I've tried on have been higher rise..

In my experience, Sevens' and Citizens' sizes are equivalent. I'm a size 25 in both and they fit just as perfect. However, make sure you're comparing between jeans of the same material (stretch/non-stretch).

For me, I am a 27 in CoH stretch but a 28 stretch in SFAM. I don't know why, but I think SFAM run smaller and don't stretch out as much as CoH do...
You might want to try on some CoH at the store first though.

I'm a 24 / 23 in Seven non stretch and COH is always a tad TOO big on it. The stretch ones are out of the question because they get saggy after 10 minutes of walking around! IMO it runs a size big for me, but im sure it depends on your own proportions.

I'm a 28 Sevens stretch and non but I can fit a 27 for CoH stretch and non. There non-stretch is alittle too stretch for 100% cotton. Always get a Citizens 1 size smaller than the Seven. I like the Citizen's bootcut alittle better than Sevens

thanks for everyone's insight!! too bad citizens dont come in a size 23.

i think i'll definately try them on again in stores. hopefully the new styles they have out will fit me better.
