If you are a heavy denim lover, here you go.  Our Ankara straight leg fit cut in a burly 18 oz. Japanese selvedge denim.  Cut and sewn in San Francisco.

Limited quantity.

 

A NOTE FROM PETE & TONY

I cannot think of a time when I was not driven to customize and personalize my gear. I was a fairly shy kid but was driven to stand out somehow, someway. My beach cruiser was one of my first real stabs at a custom machine.

I stripped it down, took the old paint off with a flat metal file (took forever and was 100% unnecessary - could have just used a primer) and sprayed it white. No one I knew had a white bike and that was enough to go with white. Bye-bye cruiser handlebars and beach pedals. Hello royal blue alloy BMX crossbar handlebars and matching spiked pedals. I finished it with some white wall tires and set off riding wheelies looking for some props.

I bring this one up since we all have various levels of standing out in a crowd. Our wish is that you get a good fitting pair of Tellason jeans and start your denim life in them. No TLC here, just get on with a rigorous life and let the jeans fade, get marked up and workout whatever you send their way. In the end, you will become attached to them, just like you did with your old bike or skateboard.

The Ankara mid-rise straight leg jean is a perfect template for most anyone. Tony found an 18 oz. Kuroki selvedge denim that we cut in this exact fit. This fabric is most definitely on the heavy side. But what you get with that is some real durability. And way, way down the road, you will see the beautiful wear patterns take shape that will be all your own.

With that, we are stocked up and would like to offer this to you.

As always, thanks for reading and thanks for your support,

Tony Patella

    Excellent Craftsmanship

    Posted by Tomohisa Ishii on 17th Nov 2024

    I usually wear pants with a 34-inch waist and I'm 6 feet tall. When I first put them on without washing, they felt a bit tight and I thought I might need to size up. But after washing them once and wearing them for a while, they fit comfortably and feel like my usual 34-inch jeans. The classic straight cut and solid stitching stand out. The thread colors are perfectly varied, showing the attention to detail. I had never worn 18oz jeans before, so I was curious about how they would feel. Instead of feeling heavy, they offer a sturdy and substantial quality, making them truly well-made. The patch is incredibly stylish! The hidden red tab is a delightful touch for enthusiasts. If you're hesitating, you just have to buy them. These jeans are top-notch.

    Ankara Straight Leg Selvedge 18 oz

    Posted by Eric Perryman on 6th Nov 2024

    I have to review two aspects of these jeans, the fist being the insanely high quality and craftsmanship. They are perfectly made, true to size, and a true straight leg. It is easy to see right out of the box how well they are going to fade in over time. I've had other jeans in this weight, but these move differently and, while rigid when new of course, the softness to them is there. Truly impressive. The second thing to address is the incredible customer service from Tellason. Second to none. I would not hesitate to order from them again and again. A truly impressive company with top tier products. Bravo.

    I took a chance on the 18 oz Ankara and I am not at all disappointed. The cut for me is the best -- i love the fit on the waist and the legs. I'm 6'3 210 and am surprised how much I like the fit in 35" over the pair of Elgins i have. I won't be taking these off anytime soon. I did a warm wash & dry as soon as I got them and they fit like a glove. Thanks guys!

    Ankara 18oz

    Posted by Brian on 4th Nov 2024

    These fit well and the 18oz denim is super thick. Do they feel like walking in cardboard when you first wear them? Yes. BUt after two days wear they started to soften up. I'm pretty sure this pair of jeans will last 3-4 times as long as a pair of Levi 501's. The value is there, and the jeans look and feel better. So yeah. I'm happy.

    My second pair of Tellason jeans and they are perfect! The fit and quality are second to none. I've tried a few different selvage companies but none have delivered a solid as Tellason has! Thank you for making high quality jeans at a good price!

    Heaviest fabric I’ve ever had in any kind of pants. Same quality construction - excellent. These guys do such a great job. The sales and items of the week are appreciated too. Looking forward to wearing these in.

    I like the 18oz

    Posted by Todd on 29th Oct 2024

    This is my third pair of Ankara’s, and my first of the 18oz weight. I like the heavier denim especially as it’s getting colder. Initial break-in wasn’t bad at all. I hope the guys keep making these!!

    Top quality, unparalleled fit

    Posted by James H on 11th Sep 2024

    This is my 4th pair of Tellasons. I’m a fan of heavier denim and these don’t disappoint. After an initial hot soak these jeans feel incredible and fit like a glove. Nothing like a straight fit pair of jeans. I’m a customer for life. Thanks Tellason
