A note from Tony & Pete

This fit came to us in 2012 from our friend, confidant, and master of everything counterculture, Mr. Brian Awitan. Brian was instrumental to Tellason back in the early days, laying out our story to influential people (real influencers before today's "influencers" started calling themselves "influencers").  It was all packed with organic feel good stuff since he had nothing to gain other than seeing his friends get an opportunity to start a denim business the right way.

I suppose our payback was to create a fit that Brian wanted to wear.  He sent us an old pair of jeans 4 sizes too large for him that had been heavily manipulated by his local tailor.  The idea was straight forward- take a medium rise, medium fitting leg and taper the hell out of it.  Hold it up and it has a bit of a carrot feel to it.  Put it on and you will get the true tapered leg you may be looking for, without it being too tight in the thigh.

Looking back, we should have called this the Awitan, but at the time, Brian was out there working for another denim company that may have had a problem with him working with a competitor.  So, Gustave it is.  A strong name which happens to be the middle name of the bass player of a little rock and roll band called, you guessed it, The Clash.

    Gustave 14.75

    Posted by Matt on 30th Apr 2024

    My 4th pair of jeans from Tellason. I also have two jackets. Love them all. I have JGM's in 14.75 and love the depth of colour and the way they have aged, so I was keen to get the Gustave in the same weight. I am 5'9" and pretty wiry, I find the cut of the Gustave to be bang on. I have a pair in black and they fit better than anything I have ever owned. Worthwhile investments!

    The Greatest

    The Gustave are the most perfectly crafted, fitting denim for me. They are consistently my favorite pair of pants I have ever worn. These will be my fourth pair in 8 years.

    This was my first pair of Tellason jeans and I'm very happy with the quality and the fit. The guys were very helpful in advising me on the product fit and what to expect in terms of shrinkage. The free custom hemming they offer was fast and efficient.

    Gustave Jean

    Wow. The quality is superb. I'm thrilled because after doing my research and reading all the reviews, these are the best jeans ever bought. The calves section is tight, but I work them out often, and can't wait for them to break in. Customer Service is spectacular. I contacted them many times and always responded very quickly and nicely. Proud thats are manufactured here in CA, USA.

    C'est mon troisième Gustave et certainement pas le dernier ! La coupe est parfaite, la qualité top, et plus ils vieillissent plus ils sont beaux.

    Good service, great product

    Posted by Ross Guthrie on 24th Aug 2021

    I was shopping jeans for WAY too long. I had found a (different)brand that fit but both the fit and quality were inconsistent between colorways. I shopped for raw denim reading reviews and feedback from the community, discovered tellason, shopped for another few weeks. Then asked about sizing, the response was quick. Bought the gustaves in 35(6’1” 210lbs). Fit great after 3 1 inch cuffs and a soak. The calves are VERY fitted but I have about a half inch of play. Can’t wait for them to break in. Will buy the Elgins next to mix up fits.
