Description

Todd Blubaugh has been a close friend of ours for 11 years.  He lives an extraordinary life and has a clear vision about the gear that helps him during his travels.  We let Todd create this new jean from top to bottom.  Our sanforized 16.5 oz.proprietary Kaihara denim is our toughest so it was an automatic choice for us to use for The Blubaugh jean.  It has a mid-rise slim straight fit. Cut and sewn in San Francisco, Calif. USA.  Check out Todd's book.

Our friend Todd Blubaugh checks a few of these boxes. The friendship began with Tony flying up to Seattle (year two for us) to do a promotion at Blackbird (RIP). They were one of the first five shops we sold to when we started. Tony ran a contest and was going to give a free pair for the person who brought in their most hammered pair of Tellason jeans. Todd arrived early and the contest was over. His pair was still one of the best old jeans we have seen. From there, our friendship grew.

Christmas 2014, Todd was passing through on his bike. We were neck deep in turkey etc... and an hour later, we hear the thump of his motor working its way up the hill. Once inside, Todd took over one of the four burners at the stove to melt down some bees wax to re-wax his jacket for the next day's wet ride north. Now, remember this is Christmas dinner here and burners are a hot commodity. My wife somehow reworked the timing of the whole dinner since that bees wax took about an hour to melt down. My youngest was fascinated with Todd's old world efforts and dinner came out just fine...

Back to jeans- we were ready for a new fit so we passed Todd the baton and gave him 100% freedom to create a jean based on exactly what his life on a bike is all about. The mid-rise keeps the draft down the bunz in check and the slightly slimmer straight leg is neither tight nor loose which allows for a little mobility without the leg panels flapping in the wind at +60 m.p.h. The leg opening derived from what Todd believes to be the perfect circumference around his Red Wing Engineer boot.

This is only available in our 16.5 oz orange line selvedge to keep things on the heavy side for Todd's rigorous life.

    Great cut for boots.

    I think these are my favorite Tellason Jeans so far. Just a little more room down in the cuffs to fit over your boots. Bravo.

    These pants are phenomenal. Once the break in period is over, I have a feeling these will be the best fitting pants I own.

    Todd Blubaugh Jeans

    I’ve spent countless years and more money than I care to admit searching for the perfect pair of jeans. If you’re like me, save yourself the time and the scratch and buy a pair of Tellason Todd Blubaugh denim. These jeans are it.

    More than just jeans

    Posted by Ryan Johnson on 2nd Aug 2023

    The jeans on their own are amazing- the denim and craftsmanship, quality is second to none. But they’re more than just the jeans. The fit, the people and story behind them, the identity and customer support……worth more than double what I paid. I only wear tellason for those reasons. Break in perfectly, last, and fit in to my personal ethos. Thanks guys!

    Great Fit

    Posted by Erik on 20th Jul 2023

    I can't say enough about the level of customer service these guys offer. Above and beyond anything I have experienced. That alone would make the purchase worth it but the jeans are also amazing. The fit of these is spot on, especially for wearing with cowboy (or engineer) boots. Slim in the right spots, but not tight, and roomy enough in the legs to get that perfect fit. These are also built with quality, nothing "fancy" but detailed the right way in all the spots that matter. Great job on these as my first pair of Tellason's. Add me to the list of customers that will keep coming back.

    Blubaugh

    Excellent quality still. This is my 5th pair of jeans from Tellason. First time buying this cut. Really happy with them. If I was to make a suggestion, I'd like to see bigger front pockets and 2 more belt loops.

    Blubaugh Jeans - Perfect Fit

    Posted by Simon Revill on 17th Dec 2022

    As I'm in the UK these are quite hard to get hold of so when they came back in stock I took the plunge after a quick check they are true to size (none of this vanity rubbish) Jeans arrived quickly and they are everything I could have wanted - perfect fit and a good weight denim that will wear well. The cut is great for everyday wear with the higher rise and straight leg with enough room to fit over boots. Overall can't fault them - out of stock again so will have to wait to get a second pair
