A NOTE FROM PETE & TONY

Ankara- The capital of Turkey. A nutty choice to name a jean? Not really to us since that is where our favorite front man was born back in 1952.

Pronunciation can be a funny little game in life. You meet a lady named "Kirsten" but you end up saying, "nice to meet you Kristen" then she says, "it's Keersten" and you feel like just calling her "hey there" in the future so you don't screw her name up and get corrected again. Ankara is that way.

Put the emphasis on the front half of the word? Maybe. Put the emphasis on the second half of the word? If you are English, yes. Pittsburgh is not that way. Just say Pittsburgh and you are done. This is a good time to check out what I mean and watch the glorious SNL intro from Christopher Walken for the Foo Fighters. Where does the emphasis go? You decide what sounds better.

Cheers ya'll,

    The best thing I never knew I needed!

    These jeans are incredible. They're so good that you're going to look at all of your other pairs of jeans as inferior. I'm serious. The fit is fantastic and feel is superb. Be careful with lighter colors/shoes early on, there's a fair amount of bleeding from the indigo up front.

    American quality, style, and fit

    Posted by Christian on 31st May 2016

    Far and away the best quality jeans I have ever owned. Denim from North Carolina, pocketing done in Tennessee, and leather patchwork from Oregon; stitched together in the denim mecca, San Francisco. When was the last time you felt national pride in the clothing you wore? For me it was today in my Tellason's. I heard something in the Tellason history video that they focused more on quality and fit than style, but you could have fooled me. Two of my more fashion minded students have complimented me on them, and my date last weekend didn't mind them either. ;) Of course the fit is there too, but I order one inch smaller in the waist due to stretching. After four wears they're perfect. Enjoy

    So I've been wearing my new Ankaras for two days now and I'm in love. Following the fit guide made purchasing these online very easy. The fit and design are awesome. I'm looking forward to a very long journey with my new denim thanks to Tellason and this American made product. Why buy something from another country when you can get THIS quality here made in the USA!?!? Cheers! Follow me on Instagram to see how these jeans progress at handle: marc_d_t
