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,

    Another winner

    Another great pair of no nonsense no frills denim. Have a pair of JGMs and wanted something a bit roomier. These do not disappoint. Thank you to the Tellason team for creating something easy and reliable.

    excellent denim. fit is straight and i would have given 5 stars had the crotch/thigh area not pull up too tight due to the mid-rise front waist lowering. the fit around waist is true to size, not tight. overall, excellent quality.

    I just purchased a pair of Ankara 16oz. These are exactly what I was looking for. Amazing quality, great fit and I have no doubt they will wear in and last. Worth every penny. I love high quality and made in the USA. Great customer service and a quick response from Tony when I had a few questions.

    Finally Found The Perfect Jean

    Posted by Paul G on 16th Jun 2022

    Fantastic fit and build quality. No more side seams that wrap to the center of your leg like Levis. I always Loved Button Flies over a zipper. Worth the extra money. No regrets. Will be a regular customer.

    This is my first pair of raw selvage denim jeans. Wow. Beautiful build, fit and feel. They are stout and will take some livin' to break in, but the quality has me excited for the journey. Thanks Tellason. I'm already daydreaming about my next pair.

    Straightforward & solid.

    If you like a straight leg pair of jeans - look no further. Though I miss the Cone denim, the Kaihara denim is excellent. BIG pockets!
