This is my first Tellason jacket. I bought the Topper denim shirt two years ago and love it, and don't have a denim jacket, so decided to pull the trigger on this one. I was going to get the Tellason sherpa-lined Coverall, but I needed something for the summer (summers in Ireland where I live are typically in the 50s and 60s, don't break the 70s too often, so this is perfect.) I'm 185 LBs, 5 foot 9, and Large fits well, with room for another layer (sweater / hoodie, etc.). Even though there's a bit of room, the fit's still good. Nice crunchy "hand" to the denim when you put it on first. I wanted something different to the typical Type III denim jacket, and happy to have got this. I've been getting into quality (raw) denim the past few years (Sugarcane, Iron heart, etc.), and happy to have this original jacket, it really stands out. It feels like a chore coat denim jacket but not one of the herd. Looking forward to seeing it develop and change over the years. Final point - when I saw the way the cowboys and bikers looked in this on Todd Blubaugh's website, that really influenced me in getting this.
