A NOTE FROM PETE & TONY

This is an easy one to talk about, since I have been wearing this and its cousin, the Ankara, for about 8 years straight. This is a mid-rise jean with a lot of thought put into the waist and high hip area. This can be a tricky exercise to fit since the rolls of selvedge denim are only about 31" wide and creating space for you bunz can challenge even the best pattern makers out there.

In the end, these Sheffield jeans check several boxes for looser fitting jeans without tipping them towards anything considered baggy or stove pipe.

For those lads locked into slim fitting jeans- have a go at these. They may be a ways away from what you already have in your closet but after a month or so, you will grow to appreciate this fit and the timeless style it offers up, not to mention the joy of reaching down for your socks on the floor and simultaneously realizing that that butt crack draft thing is a thing of the past!

    Good fit except for manufacturing error

    Posted by John on 3rd Jul 2015

    This kind of comfortable-yet-tapered cut is rare, and this one fits well. The waist is 2 1/4˝ larger than the size, which is really large (and certainly a different match than Tellason’s other fits), but I actually found it to be appropriate. At first it seemed ridiculous because, although 32 seems to be my normal size raw denim size, these were so large that I could take them off with all of the buttons buttoned and without any fabric stretching. I think most raw denim wearers will size for tightness when standing; but after too many experiences of having to throw away raw denim after exercising more or otherwise gaining (only a little) weight, I decided to change my approach and size for tightness when sitting. Already, I can tell that these will fit great, even if they’ll need a belt. I have to deduct one star for what seems to be a manufacturing error. The leg opening is definitely larger than it's supposed to be—about 17˝, when it it should be 16.25˝. I was set to ask about it, but because the photo I was able to take only shows the flat measurement being slightly larger than 8.25˝ (held taut with both hands, it comes out to 8.5˝), and because I had already removed the tag, I decided to let it go.
