These are a great pair of American made denim at an amazing price. I bought my fourth pair of Gustave at the same time as the Stock. The Gustave are perfection in my opinion and the stock slim tapered are close behind. The Stocks are less rigid, being easier to break in. They fit just slightly looser in the leg than the Gustave. The stocks use the classic dark orange thread through out, they do not have any of the signature Tellason splash of yellow thread on the back and side. The rivets are a much brighter copper color. The Stocks feature the ‘T’ stiched into the back pockets with jacron patch saying “TELLASON STOCK” in blue type on a white background. These are just some of the additional differences I noticed.
These are such an amazing pair of denim, and for the price! I would recommend these to anyone; especially for people that aren’t a little crazy about denim detail, or just getting into denim, or if you have a specific use that will thrash your pants.
