The look and feel of the denim is great. I got these jeans thinking they might make good motorcycle-riding jeans, and I was quite right. Something about the higher waist and the overall fit makes these considerably more comfortable on the bike than any of the other jeans I've owned. In addition, they are long enough to make it all the way to my boots when I am sitting (I'm 6'5"). If you like quality, made in the USA, and don't mind paying for it, then these won't disappoint.
I recently bought my first pair of Tellason jeans, the heavyweight Elgin. I'd been looking for a strong, durable selvedge pair of jeans that were well constructed and fit my 6'5" frame. After correspondence from Tony, I settled on the Elgin and am very satisfied with the pants. As a result I bought another pair of Elgin's this time in a lighter weight and am really happy with the pants. The fit is comfortable and the inseam long enough for me turn a good cuff, which doesn't happen with me too often. Great customer service and an excellent product made me a fan. I'm just hopeful that a black and/or Khaki Elgin is in the wings!
Got a pair for Christmas. I had corresponded with Tellason making sure I got the style with the cut I was looking for. I wanted jeans that were not overly fitted with room in the crotch and a slight taper on the legs. The Elgin is exactly that. I got the 14.75 oz and it is the ideal weight for me. I like the fact that every aspect of them are made in the USA and that there is nothing flashy about them. The leather patch is a nice touch, the pockets are plenty deep and they are very comfortable. I will be buying another pair in the future.
I love these jeans, the quality is fantastic. I've been wearing them for practically everyday for almost two months and they have broken-in beautifully. No fades yet, but I figured as much from a 14.75oz fabric. Also, after the break-in: Super comfy! However, if I were to do it all over again, I would size down. I typically wear a size 30, thats what I bought and they are fine, but they are a bit loose, nothing a belt won't fix; and hey: I'd rather them be loose than too tight. Overall, these jeans are great and will absolutely not be my last pair of Tellasons. Thanks to these Elgins, I am a customer for life! Keep up the great quality Tellason!
