The Tellason Stock Jean Jacket is made in San Francisco, California from 14 oz. non-selvedge sanforized Cone Mills denim. Two exterior side pockets, two chest pockets and two interior pockets.
A note from Pete & Tony...
Of course, we will always be true to our selvedge story. The whole tale speaks of what we love about real denim culture and the details that make this an important part of the denim landscape around the world. We are equally proud of our products built with non-selvedge denim from Cone Mills.
Back when Cone Mills was open in Greensboro, North Carolina, we felt a very strong urge to give them as much business as possible, sensing that more denim makers were taking their denim purchases overseas to save a few dollars. This never entered our orbit. In fact, we were talking about building jeans and jackets the same way, at the same place (San Francisco) as our regular selvedge products, but using a non-selvedge fabric, which takes the price waaay down.
Once we committed to our Tellason Stock project, we met with our friends at House Industries to figure out the branding part of things. We sent over some old pants we found at a police officer supply warehouse that had interior labels that were very simple and utilitarian minded. About a day later, the wizards at House Industries showed us their interpretation of a scaled down, industrial oriented branding story and that was it.
Enjoy,

I get compliments on this jacket all the time. The quality is tremendous. Can't wait to see how it fades.
bought this for my boyfriend since he’s had his eye on this. the jacket is super well made and he wears it almost every day!! he’s usually a M but I ordered a L per the other reviews.
Jacket looks great in my opinion extremely well made,I got a large tried it on fit great washed it in cold water no dryer as instructed it shrunk, to tight now ,will give it away will order a x-large next time
Really fast customer service with helpful input on sizes. Great jacket. Thanks Tellason!
Nice quality and great cut I love it
Very happy with this. It does run small in my opinion. I am 5'10", 170 and I ordered the large. Wish I had ordered the XL. I grew up with jean jackets and am accustomed to treating them in a manner consistent with what they were designed for - not babying them and washing and drying them and not babying them but I am going to have to wash this one cold and let it line dry or I fear it won't fit me any more. Very high quality denim and well made. Happy to have found it as well as the blanket lined version which I ordered in the XL.
I knew it would be well made and it is. Very happy with the value. Can't wait until I've beaten it up.
Fantastic jacket. Rock solid construction and I really like the little bit of extra length. One observation -- compared to the Kaihara denim in two pairs of Tellason jeans I have (Ankara and Blubaugh), this Cone Mills denim really turns the water blue on a first cold soak. So, you definitely want to give this jacket a long soak before you get it near any light upholstery.
Nicely manifactured with great fit and solid denim fabric, I am in between XL and XXL, sp for this piece I was suggested to go for an XXL, which was a tiny bit to large, but aftera gentle machine wash and air drying the jacket fits like custom made!
