Apparel Companies Starting With Numbers

Welcome to the numbers section of the Apparel Search Fashion Company Names directory, the one section of this A-to-Z guide that no letter can claim. The chip grid below is this section's table of contents: 3 company profiles, one chip each, in numerical order by company name, 20X, 6pm and 7 For All Mankind. A name that begins with a digit files here rather than under its first letter, which is why this small section exists at all, and why the alphabet bar carries a # marker beside the twenty-six letters.

Small as it is, the section spans the industry's range surprisingly well. Two of its three companies are divisions of a single parent, VF Corporation, yet they could hardly file more different denim: 20X brings western jeans, shirts and accessories to the whole family under the line Stay West. Go Wild., while 7 For All Mankind, launched in 2000 to critical acclaim for its fits, fabrics and finishes, files the premium denim position with men's, kid's, handbag and footwear collections. Between them sits 6pm, an online discount destination operated by Zappos IP, Inc., selling shoes, clothing, bags and accessories in a new sale every morning.

Reading the Numbers Profiles

Begin with the two VF statements, because they show how differently one parent can be filed. Both close with the same shared description of VF Corp as a multi-billion dollar apparel powerhouse with a diverse international portfolio, and both preserve a direct link to the VF Corporation profile in the V section. Yet 20X gives no date at all, only a slogan, a product trio and a family audience, while 7 For All Mankind anchors itself to a specific year, 2000, and a critical reception. Directories keep both kinds of record, and no founding date is given for the company whose record does not carry one.

Then read 6pm for the retail model the other two profiles sell into. Its filing names its example brands, Nike clothing, Oakley sunglasses, Nine West shoes and Clarks shoes, promises free shipping and a daily deal rhythm, and closes with the ownership chain a researcher most needs: operated by Zappos IP, Inc., with Zappos owned by Amazon, both of them profiled elsewhere in this directory and linked from the 6pm page. This names section is a guide for locating fashion companies by name. It does not include all apparel companies, but offers a selection, with new listings added periodically.

There is also a small lesson in directory craft in how these three names behave. A searcher who files 20X under T for Twenty, 6pm under S for Six or 7 For All Mankind under S for Seven will miss all three, which is why a numbers section exists and why the alphabet bar gives it a # of its own. Names are filed as their owners spell them, digits first where digits lead, and the hub's job is simply to gather the handful of fashion companies whose owners chose to begin with a number and present them in the order a reader scanning numerals expects.

A note on using this hub: if the company you want begins with a letter, use the alphabet bar, which links every letter hub in the directory, or return to the main Fashion Company Names index for the full A-to-Z listing. If it begins with a number and is not among the three profiles here, it has not been filed in this directory, and the main index is the right place to check the closest letter sections. The 20X and 7 For All Mankind profiles each include photographs in a gallery.
