I bought my first of JGM denim in 2010, sight unseen, after reading about Tellason in Men's Journal. Since that time, I've been a huge fan of the brand, and its owners. You're not going to find two gentlemen more devoted to making quality denim in the USA, and it shows in their products. I've owned the JGM in the medium and heavy weights in both Cone and Kaihara denim. If you're a Cone fan and you're skeptical about trying Tellason's proprietary Kaihara denim, don't be. The Kaihara denim is gorgeous and really comes to life after some wear and a few soaks. Superb all around, from fit to finish, stitch to stitch !
1st pair with the Japanese denim. Perfect build and attention to detail. At this level of quality and getting them on sale is best gift to myself all year. Thank you to all at Fort Tellason for making the only jeans that matter.
Still breaking these jeans in, but so far the quality seems excellent. Hand written note is an amazing touch. Delivery was quick and efficient. If they hold up well, I will certainly be getting a second pair
I wanted thinner than the 16 oz. These are the same excellent fit, denim, and sewing. And I got to speak to Pete. Thank you for calling and thank you for making these excellent jeans!
Everything they should be. Quality American made, great fit. Proud to wear Tellason, and represent what they stand for. The construction and materials are durable and give me confidence that they will last a long time.
I have four pairs of Raw Denim. These are one of my favorites. Awesome quality, denim color and texture are unique. Love my Tellasons! Do yourself a favor and buy a pair! You won't regret it. The hand written thank you was a pleasant surprise! Nice touch guys/gals. Keep up the great work.
This was my first venture into raw denim jeans. After a lot of research, I decided to try a pair of Tellason JGM, and I am so glad I did. Upon first examination of the jeans, it was clear the exceptional attention to detail, quality of material, and the pride with which the garment was crafted. The personal note was a delightful surprise as well. The fit was perfect and after a few tries, I was able to find the right length and cuff. These are now my favorite jeans that I wear as often as I could, and I will definitely be buying another pair when I can afford to.
This is my 4th pair of Tellason jeans, 3rd JGM, and 2nd in the 14.75oz. I'm 5'7 150lbs and the fit is perfect, went for a 31. They do fit snug in the crotch for a day or two, but they stretch out nicely. My last pair I got was a 32 and the combo of losing a bit of weight and stretching out, they became a touch too loose.... still my favorite pair though. Perfect front and low rise for my body type. The thing that I LOVE about this company is the customer service. Free hems, and excellent communication. A hand written Thank You note is also a nice touch. Not to mention that if you get a crotch blowout, they repair those too for a very nominal fee. Tellason puts together an amazing product.... Well done guys, well done.
When I opened up the package containing my jeans I knew right away that I was opening up some quality denim. I have owned numerous pairs of raw denim jeans and none have come close to the quality of craftsmanship as these jeans. I would recommend these jeans to anyone looking for true, quality-built raw denims. Disclaimer: I typically sport a waist size of 32 and the 32 size in these jeans was too small for me. I returned them for a size 34 which fit well.
