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
