Great Everyday pant. The taper is perfect for sneakers and boots. The 12.5 oz. isn’t too heavy in the warmer weather as well.
The only thing as good as these jeans is Tellasons customer service. Being new to raw denim, I didn't know where to start for the right fit. After a phone call from Pete, and trying on a couple of different fits, the Elgin was my pick. They're the perfect cut slim jean. Not too tight, not too loose. The slightly higher rise makes a huge difference if you're an active dude. As far as the weight, I'm also really pleased. Even though the 12.5 oz. is their lightest, it's still sturdy as hell and should be great for year round wear. A nice surprise was also that this particular weight has had zero bleeding onto anything whatsoever. Easy to wear right out of the box. If I ever manage to wear these out (seems unlikely) I'll definitely be back for some more.
I thoroughly enjoy the jeans, the quality of the denim they are made of and the craftsmanship in the jeans. I have been complimented about them and asked where they are available and have given them the e-mail address. I now have three pairs of these jeans, two of the Elgin and one of the straight leg Ankara.
