The quality of materials and workmanship stands out , miles ahead of any other denim I've owned before. The style and cut is perfect. If somethings worth doing, it's worth doing well. That's what Tellason have done.
Got a new pair of Sheffields a few weeks ago. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep these. When I got them they felt really heavy and stiff. I told myself to give them and chance and see how they break in. After wearing these for roughly 10 days straight... I fell in love. I'm definitely a huge fan of not only this denim, but also the brand. Tellason just gained a new fan and supporter!
Bought my first pair (Sheffields) all at 2 years ago and they have developed beautifully. I've since bought other styles but just bought two Sheffields to wear to work. Saving my pennies for the great Italian coat. Keep up the good work
The best made jeans, bar none. Outstanding customer service, but more importantly, an extraordinary product made in the birthplace of jeans.
I ordered 32" Sheffield jeans in 16.5 ounce fabric. The fabric is lovely, with a light hand for its weight. It is dense, deeply dyed with a slight grey cast to the indigo, and surprisingly soft. The fit is generous to loose in the box and upper thigh, with medium rise, not much taper, a full thigh, and a relatively low crotch. These fit my cyclist's legs well. However, I ordered true to size, and the waist is loose enough that I should have ordered down a size (or two). The fabric shrank less than predicted, and they hang a bit on me as a result. Note that Tellason will exchange unworn jeans only, a completely reasonable policy. They don't include detailed fit information on their website. A full fit chart, including the pattern waist size, front/rear rise, and thigh/knee/opening measurements on the website would be quite helpful, rather than just a nominal size. Stitching was tight, straight, and even. The inner seam is not lap-felled, the rear pockets don't have hidden rivets, and the belt loops aren't secured under the waistband, all small details I'd expect at this price point. In addition, the belt loops are fraying at the (unsinged, unfinished) ends, which exposes undyed cotton when washed, an annoyance. Overall, they're good jeans. I'd size down if I were to buy another pair, and a detailed fit chart would have eliminated my main issue with these pants. Best Regards, Will WMdeRosset
I've owned several pairs of selvage and raw denim jeans and these are by far my favorite. I went with Tellason because I always try and buy American (I really like Cone Mills denim) and I previously purchased a pair of their John Graham Mellor several years ago and they were great. I went with the Sheffields this time because over the years I've spent more time weightlifting and frankly I needed more room in the upper legs and butt region. These fit just perfectly and the 16.5oz Orange Line selvage breaks in quickly. These are going to be my daily drivers this winter up in D.C. and I can't wait to see how they mature and fade. Considering the quality and the price you really can't go wrong with a pair of Tellason's.
I got this pair a bit smaller than my last two. I normally wear 34x40, but went for 32x38. The jeans fit like a glove (well, not that tight ) right out of the box. Thanks to Tony and the folks at Tellason for catering to my unusual dimensions.
Love the weight of these 16.5 ounce. Will serve me well in Canadian winters. What sold me on these and the previous Ankara purchase was the rise. Normal rise, unlike most of the low rise selvage demin that is out there. Service and direct communication with Tony was great. Hemmed to my liking before shipped. Thanks
