A NOTE FROM PETE & TONY

I was on the phone with a customer yesterday about this, that, or the other. I think I called him to see if he fat-fingered his order with us by ordering three pairs of our Ankara jeans. He said "no" and that he was happy to see this old standard blue jean fit that was still made in the U.S. He also said that this fit was hard to find and that most denim companies making great jeans here are focusing on slimmer cuts for "young dudes" as he put it. I did not necessarily agree with him but the fact of the matter is that a proper straight leg fit just works. It did 100 years ago and it still does today. You may only wear skinny stuff but I swear, try this old fit out again and see why it is the five pocket jean that brought this whole denim party to the dance in the first place.

Cheers,

    Best pair of jeans

    Posted by Cary on 16th Jan 2025

    These are the best pair of jeans I’ve ever purchased in my life. The fit out of the box was perfect size wise, and the comfort improved with each wearing. The weight is heavy enough that I expect excellent durability. The craftsmanship is flawless. I think I may never buy another brand of jeans.

    It all started with an Ankara

    Posted by Unknown on 30th Dec 2024

    A nice man in a nice shop in the nice town of Petaluma is responsible for Tellason entering my awareness. This happened many years ago and it all began with a pair of Ankaras. I can’t think of a better start to building trust with this company. Honestly, EVERYTHING I have ever purchased from them has met but more often exceeded my expectations across the board. But I will never forget that it all started with an Ankara. Specifics, yeah I could get into those… fit and durability, style, etc… all glowing reviews here in those departments but I’m all too self aware that I am a paint covered garbage pail kid approaching middle age with weird legs from decades of skateboarding and cycling so my read may be as skewed as my right ankle and left knee or even moreso. In closing, Ankaras… you’re going to appreciate them for sure no matter what point on the spectrum of garbage pail to respectable professional you fall.

    Just what I was looking for!

    I’m so glad to have come across this brand. I’ve been looking for a classic pair of straight leg jeans without the crazy sizing and gimmicks for a while. Ran through all the Japanese brands and finally came across the Ankaras in a forum online. I ordered my usual American sizing and they fit amazingly. Just a fantastic fitting pair of jeans that look great. Highly recommend, and I went with my usual American size.

    Own four pairs of Ankara. Best jeans I've ever owned; unlikely to buy anything else. Simple, no-fuss, high quality. Great for outside work.

    I've brought back in January and I like them very much and first pair of jeans they are very comfortable I wear them all the time and I wear them to bed to sleep in them to. But I don't like it about how long they are look good roll up and I wash them roll up already and they keep the and now they got a line now on both legs they should put a 4 botton fly that to me is short

    Was not able to try on, so I crossed by fingers and jumped on my American waist size. Perfect fit. Hoping down range 1st washing will make up for any stretch. Love them…. Worth every penny. I’ve purchased the raw jean jacket and two pairs of ankaras. Will continue to buy
