A NOTE FROM PETE & TONY

20 years from now, this jean will resonate exactly the way it did for us in 2009 when we drove Tony's old Volvo wagon to the factory to pick up 8 boxes of our cut #1. Nine boxes would have meant that one of them would have sat on my lap for the drive back to Tony's garage, so 8 is great...

The John Graham Mellor IS that fit that you can hang your hat on, if you know what I mean- a true straight leg that runs a little bit slim with a lower rise. Absolutely nothing has changed about the fit, which is going on 12 years now.

Every company has their north star- Levis "501", WD40 and their blue and yellow can (with a red straw attachment), Kraft and that blue box of mac and cheese, Eichler and its flat roof house with an atrium right in the middle. For us, it is and always will be the John Graham Mellor.

Cheers,

    These jeans are the best. They fit great, feel great and look great with all of my cowboy boots I bought them to wear with. Pete & Tony are awesome as well! I have shifted to most of my purchases being Made in the U.S.A. Tellason has become the standard which I compare all others to. Keep it up guys. I will keep coming back for more.

    These jeans are terrific quality. I am 5’8”, 175 and the 36” waist fits perfect.

    First raw selvedge jeans, so far so good...

    Posted by Aaron on 23rd Mar 2021

    I’m a more athletic 5’ 10”, 210lbs, and typically wear a waist size 33-34 (inseam 30”). After comparing my current jeans to the product measurements Tony provided, I decided to go with size 35. They fit perfectly in the hips/waist/legs. They do have significant length, but look good stacked or cuffed. This extra material is new to me, but I like it well enough. I’ll give it some time and can always hem later if I change my mind. Overall, the quality and feel of the jeans is positively unlike any pair of jeans I’ve ever purchased. No pre-made holes. Quality stitching and fasteners. Looks and feels good. I was expecting them to be much stiffer after reading other reviews. I’ve worn them just over a week and finding them pretty comfortable already. I love that they are made in the USA. The shuttle loom selvedged denim is definitely cool/unique. I can’t remember the last time I was excited to buy a pair of jeans, but I’m glad I gave these a try. I’ll be looking forward to breaking them in and to some cool fading. Thanks for a great product!

    Best jeans ever! I wore Levi's growing up and gave up for obvious reasons. I am now a couple of pairs into Tellasons (which, is a few years now, of course) and I love them. Perfect fit, quality, and look. I love what they stand for and the fact that my perfect cut is named after Joe Strummer. Well done.

    Best of the best

    I bought my first of JGM denim in 2010, sight unseen, after reading about Tellason in Men's Journal. Since that time, I've been a huge fan of the brand, and its owners. You're not going to find two gentlemen more devoted to making quality denim in the USA, and it shows in their products. I've owned the JGM in the medium and heavy weights in both Cone and Kaihara denim. If you're a Cone fan and you're skeptical about trying Tellason's proprietary Kaihara denim, don't be. The Kaihara denim is gorgeous and really comes to life after some wear and a few soaks. Superb all around, from fit to finish, stitch to stitch !

    1st pair with the Japanese denim. Perfect build and attention to detail. At this level of quality and getting them on sale is best gift to myself all year. Thank you to all at Fort Tellason for making the only jeans that matter.

    Excellent American made jeans

    Posted by Ash P on 24th Sep 2019

    Still breaking these jeans in, but so far the quality seems excellent. Hand written note is an amazing touch. Delivery was quick and efficient. If they hold up well, I will certainly be getting a second pair

    14.75 just as excellent but with a little more give

    Posted by Noel Sagullo on 4th Jan 2019

    I wanted thinner than the 16 oz. These are the same excellent fit, denim, and sewing. And I got to speak to Pete. Thank you for calling and thank you for making these excellent jeans!

    Denim at its best

    Everything they should be. Quality American made, great fit. Proud to wear Tellason, and represent what they stand for. The construction and materials are durable and give me confidence that they will last a long time.
