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.
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.

This is a perfect, American made, denim jacket. Comfy (i.e., not too ridged) and yet will wear in well. Perfect for Spring into summer when we still get flashes of winter temps here in the Midwest.
This jacket is terrific. I gave it a 30 min. cold soak, hung it out to dry, and then put it on. The denim has texture and attitude and isn't in any way fussy or decorative. I bought a new jacket in the first place because my son, who just turned 18, asked if he could have my old jacket (much repaired - different brand). But when he saw the Tellason he changed his mind and very politely asked if he could have it instead! Of course I gave it to him and now I'm going to buy another. Seriously, its that good. He's leaving for college in a few months so we won't be twins (a least not very often)
6’ 2”, 210. Emailed & Tony recommended XXL, which fits absolutely perfectly. Just enough room for a sweater or heavier shirt underneath. Comfortable right out of the box. Have had it a week and it’s already a total favorite & feels better with each wearing. A great investment.
Outstanding workmanship from American craftspeople, who offer first-rate service. What more do you want?
Great fit, finish, and quality. Thanks Tellason!

Excellent quality, fit, and cut. I am not after a selvedge material, and this jacket represents great value. I don’t believe that one can find a better trucker jacket.
Just received my Tellason Stock jacket (a day earlier than expected), and it's one incredible piece of clothing. I haven't had a jean jacket since I was a kid in the mid-80's, and honestly wasn't sure what I would think once I put this on. But man, I was not disappointed. Floored, in fact. It's my first Tellason purchase, but absolutely not my last. Pretty sure I'm going to be living in this thing for years to come. I'm 5'8" and about 155 lbs. with a 31" waist. The size Medium fits like it was tailored just for me.
This jacket (and all the other clothes I've ordered from Tellason) is of the highest quality, looks great and feels like it will last a long time. The customer service is excellent too. Thanks, guys!
