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.
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.
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
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!
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.
I have four pairs of Raw Denim. These are one of my favorites. Awesome quality, denim color and texture are unique. Love my Tellasons! Do yourself a favor and buy a pair! You won't regret it. The hand written thank you was a pleasant surprise! Nice touch guys/gals. Keep up the great work.
This was my first venture into raw denim jeans. After a lot of research, I decided to try a pair of Tellason JGM, and I am so glad I did. Upon first examination of the jeans, it was clear the exceptional attention to detail, quality of material, and the pride with which the garment was crafted. The personal note was a delightful surprise as well. The fit was perfect and after a few tries, I was able to find the right length and cuff. These are now my favorite jeans that I wear as often as I could, and I will definitely be buying another pair when I can afford to.
