A NOTE FROM PETE & TONY

Tony and I are big fans of a proper pair of Chino pants. We wore them as high school kids early on with more of a preppy tone. Then off to SDSU in 1983, where there were plenty of military supply shops selling old, high waisted Chinos. We got them tapered as hell, which felt more Ca. punk than the preppies still rolling around town with their collars popped and a cable knit sweater draped over their shoulders.

With US textile factories closing, Tony found this fantastic twill, made in Japan. We feel it is the best we have ever used for our tapered leg and straight leg Chinos.

So straight from the SF factory to our HQ to possibly your doorstep, comes our Chino’s.

Enjoy ya'll,

Tony Patella

    MacArthur-esque.

    Posted by Pete B. on 28th Jun 2015

    In October of 1942, Douglas MacArthur was photographed walking ashore in the Philippines to make good on his promise to return. While I can't be certain, it looks like his entire uniform was made from Cramerton cloth. It is fact that I will never make an amphibious statement of international consequence or ride my pants up to my chest like the storied General, but I can guzzle coffee like the best of them while sitting comfortably in a pair of these Tellasons. I'm not one for full pant legs, so the tapered cut is just right for chinos. Along with the cut, the construction is a great for both work and off. They do ride a little lower, but it's a welcome change from the ever decreasing zipper length. I would say the waist is true to the measurement (not the tag); maybe a tiny bit larger. I will probably buy another pair in the future - especially if there is a discount to be found, somewhere (shameless, I know).
