I’ve really fallen in love with this company. I’ve owned a couple of raw denim pairs by them a few years ago and decided to grab a couple of more this year. Tony and Pete are top notch guys, and are truly professionals at what they do. I’ve probably bugged them about every purchase I’ve made, whether it be fit inquiries or a hem request, they’re quick to respond, and they’re also complete gentlemen about it. I own a blanket lined raw denim jacket, their BDU ripstop jacket, and of course, raw denim jeans. All of the products have been superb. I usually get all my jeans hemmed to a 32 inseam, so I’m able to cuff how I like, and this time around, by mistake, they hemmed two pairs of the black Ankara’s, offering me the second pair for $80 (totally worry free if I didn’t want them). I wouldn’t typically stock up like that, but I couldn’t pass that price up. All in all, support this company. It’s an intimate experience. These guys care, and it truly shows. Thanks again Tony and Pete! Customer for life.
These are the perfect black jeans and I’ve tried a lot of them. The craftsmanship and fit are amazing. Somebody did there homework. Very high quality and no bs. Worth every penny!!! Fit is true to size. They are sanforized so won’t shrink a bunch. I’m 6’1 210lbs, athletic body type, tree trunk legs. I wear a 34, Ankara fit (mid rise, straight leg). Takes a week or so to break em in. Same size I used to wear in levis. Ultra quick delivery every time, with a hand written note! Not just these but everything these guys make is top notch. I also wear the stock blue jeans and I have a pair of ankara blue jeans a jacket etc..All of which bring me immense joy. Class act 100%. Get some.
Best pair of jeans I’ve ever owned. Perfect fit and awesome look.
Everything you love about the straight cut, spacious Ankara style with a slick black look
Superlative. True & cool original fit five pocket jeans. Mid rise but in the back are enough to cover the butt when you seat on motorcycle. I own different brand of raw denim (known in biker context) but this jeans is coolest. Recommended wear with boots on
It’s not like me to excited about leg coverings. We all wear them. It’s also not like me to invest in pants—jeans, in this case. I tend to beat the shit out of things, so if they last a while I get attached. That sounds like my problem. It is. I am supposed to be reviewing a product here. It’s probably obvious I’m not used to this, but I bought a pair of jeans, and as the newscaster says in Airplane, “they bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let ‘em crash.” And so the jeans: Black Japanese Selvedge Ankaras. I’m not getting any younger, so I thought to myself, let’s do this—a nice pair of jeans. Maybe there’s no turning back from here. That’s what I was thinking. Turns out it’s true. To be honest, we’re pretty early in the relationship here—and the cynic in me is usually with the newscaster—but even if we crash now, I can say that there’s as much love for these pants as I’ve got space in my life to love a pair of jeans. There’s another pair in my future, I’m sure, but for now, I’ve got to get to know these as well as I can. You’ve got to love beautiful work, no matter the object. And as an object maker, my hat’s off to Tellason. I’m quite happy I’ve run into you.
1st off thanks to Tony for always emailing back quickly so I can find my size . Glad I can still find a solid USA co. These jeans are perfect for humans that aren’t into skinny jeans . I like they have been making the same jeans for years . To many companies keep changing sizing & manufacturing. These two made something and stuck to it . These jeans are a nice higher rise like Jeans should be . No weird taper . Thanks guys .
Love my Ankara black jeans. Very fast delivery and courteous exchange for size. Impressed by personal attention by Mr Patella himself. Pretty good fit for a woman in men’s. 35” fits in the hips. The legs are wide, maybe will try the slim Elgins next. Love the obvious quality and sturdiness. Can’t wait to buy more from this company.
I wanted some good quality black salvedge jeans and these are great. They fit well, are a nice solid and heavy fabric. Build quality is fantastic and the hem specified worked out perfect! They’re not super stiff and didn’t need much break in. The color is a deep, rich black And the weave is clean and tight. Really high quality materials and craftsmanship; made in the USA! I like this company-they’re clearly passionate about what they do without taking themselves too seriously. Love these pants and will be careful washing to keep from fading. I’m curious what they’ll look like once they get some miles on them. Telleson is one of two denim companies that I’ll always return to. The other being hardenco; can’t go wrong with either.
