A NOTE FROM PETE & TONY

Every time we get an order for the John Graham Mellor jean, we get a little pat on the back, metaphorically speaking. It was the very first jean we ever made and the second fit did not come around for 2 more years.

That was 15 years ago and I can't help to think about other products we all use that just stand the test of time. Maybe someone at the WD-40 plant has the same feeling, if they are really into that magical can of lubricant. People buy it, use it plenty and when it runs out, you try to get another can on your next run to the hardware store.

Our John Graham Mellor slim straight jean is our version of an iconic fit, that would look solid for decades to come. This 16.5 oz. selvedge fabric is our heaviest (and my favorite) so get ready to break them in the old fashioned way - wear them a ton and don't baby them in the slightest. What you will get down the road will be a real gem of a pair of jeans with all the battle scars of your own life, not the path of a misdirected Dremel tool or block of sandpaper from a washing house.

Stocked up and ready.

Enjoy the ride and thanks for your support,

    Tellason jeans in my book are the best. I have purchased several items now including jeans,jackets,and shirts and all are of outstanding quality. The fit is spot on for me. I really like the simple style with high quality material. One cannot go wrong with Tellason

    Slim Straight 16.oz

    Posted by Dennis ODonnell on 17th Jul 2021

    I am soaking them thgis weekend but I thought that the hem opening was far wider than the slim straight Telleson Stock pair I ordered last Summer NOTE: Tellason Stock is not available in a slim straight fit - only slim tapered and straight leg.

    I have other Raw Selvage jeans. But the fit and finish on these is super! Very close attention to detail.

    Great Craftsmanship

    Posted by Stephen Alejandro Matta on 18th Jan 2021

    I'm always on the lookout for companies which manufacture and source [as many] materials as they can domestically. This, paired with the quality of the genes I've ordered make for a very satisfied customer. The staff offer excellent communication when troubleshooting some issues, delivered a great pair of genes, and though expensive, I feel as-though these jeans are well-worth it. I will absolutely buy from Tellason again in the future!

    Bought the exact same pair of jeans I did seven years ago. Really cool to see them side-by-side. Looking forward to another great seven (or more) years!

    John Graham Mellor - Slim Straight Selvedge Jeans - 16.5 oz.

    Posted by Toby Tanabe on 14th Jul 2020

    These are my first pair of JGM. I have a pair Ankara in black 13.5oz. and I really like them, but I wanted a pair that we're slimmer but still straight leg. I usually wear a 31"-32" waist. I got the 32" based on a measurement of an old pair of Levi's I love. I haven't washed yet, only have had them for about a week. The slim/straight leg opening is perfect. But it's a bit loose around the waist, but that's because of the low rise, I suppose, which is lower than I'm used to. In fact, I wanted the Blubaugh for the slim/straight fit but having a higher rise fit. Unfortunately, they didn't have my size at the time. Overall, these are great jeans. 4/5. Now to break them in!

    Well made

    Posted by Christian on 11th Jun 2020

    These are very well made, simple with no BS. With the heavier denim than I am used to I expected them to feel rough but that’s not the case. Customer service was excellent making returning easier for the correct size and the hand written Thank you cards from Tony and Pete were nice. They care about what they do.

    Superb finishing

    Posted by Dalichoux on 29th Dec 2019

    Superb finish. I took a 16.5Oz, because there was no more Japanese black in 13.5Oz for my size 34. The best cut for my body is really the John Graham mellor. I've heard of a 19Oz ... if that's right, I can't wait to see it. Very happy to have had a handwritten card by Pete Searson. Thank Tellason
