Any Japanese denim that fits like Tellason?

Hi there,

Does anyone know of a Japanese jean that fits like a straight leg version of the Tellason Elgin? I'm a pretty slim guy (6' - 160lb), and the Tellason Elgin fits perfect on the rise, and nice in the leg but I don't love the taper.

Ideally, a 15oz+ slubby Japanese denim with a similar rise and leg, but no taper. Happy to spend a fair bit on them if the fit is right.

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

(you'll get a better response on the small questions thread, but here's my two cents)

I'm a big fan of Tellason (Gustave cut). Take a look at Tanuki for modern cuts using older Japanese weaving tecniques.

Tanuki is a new company but the group are all Japanese players in other excellent companies (my theory is Oni and Eternal, and maybe PBJ).  All of Tanuki's denim is pretty slubby in different ways. I own all of them. The slim cut should be near to what you like. Go here:  https://www.blueowl.us/collections/tanuki

Other brands: Oni and PBJ for very slubby slim straight cuts. Go to BiG

Also, you CANNOT go wrong with Strike Gold or The Flat Head for textured, slubby slim cuts.

Sorry, I will use the correct thread next time.

mlyngard, thanks so much for the tips. Just picked up some Oni 506zr. I'm not sure the fit is really anything like the Tellason and they're almost certainly tapered but I absolutely love the denim and just had them hemmed so the fit/length is perfect.
