Introducing Tellason Denim

[M.O.A]

Sup Sufooz

I wanted to introduce you guys to a new denim brand that has just launched their first run of jeans in the US. These guys hail from San Francisco and have a definite passion for their work. They stopped by a few months ago to show us the first few samples of the denim and I have been patiently waiting to see how the final product turned out.

When they arrived in the studio today I threw them on immediately and was impressed on the quality of construction and the details most of all. The Strummer fit is a tad bit slimmer and lower cut then I prefer these days but they were beautiful none the less. Its nice to wear something more modern fitting as opposed to the old man 66 cuts i have been wearing recently.

A few quick details include Cone Mills White Oak selvedge denim, Tanner Goods hand made patches, donut buttons, bar tack and rivet reinforced seems and a bevy of clever details, and great price point

Here are the pics, more details and measurements to follow. Fit pics coming too.

measurements for raw

love the hidden red tab and inside pocket detail haha. patch is a little simple for my taste though. have any fit pics?

[M.O.A]

yeah here is rauch off the blackbird site

I'm wearing em now, too lazy to snap some pics... but soon

Patch is def basic but I think they were going for more of a modern jean as apposed to a repro type cut. I think they have two more style coming out in the next few months too.

Flattering cut and I dig the cheeky red tab!

anyone have measurements?

[PeterParker]

anyone have measurements?

kixslf posted them on styleforum:

They seem to be a little carrot cut from the measurements. Reminds me of my N&F WeirdGuys. A little loose in the thighs with a taper from the knee down, and even lower rise than the N&F.

[duck sauce]

he also posted them here, in the first post

[jayel]

Lots of details on these jawnz. Would cop if i didnt have a new pair of 19cms to break in.

Bumping this because I saw these at Blake the other day and they looked pretty dope. I didn't end up trying them on since it was 100+ degrees out but intend to soon.

[M.O.A]

where are all these portland SUFUers coming from?

holler at your boy

lulz

[dralfonzo]

the red legal tab is gold

[dkatz]

I picked up a few pair of these at a local shop that was going out of business - one for me, one for a friend, one for my brother. The fit on me isn't quite right - the leg is a bit too slim for the waist so I'll probably have the waist taken in a bit, but otherwise I dig. They fit my brother (6'3", 180ish, size 32) pretty perfectly - actually one of the best fits I've seen on him. Looking forward to seeing how the "red/purple cast" cast 13.5oz denim fades on him. I won't be wearing mine for a while due to my current monogamous relationship with SExDBxS09.

there's an interview with the owner on ACL

http://www.acontinuouslean.com/2009/08/20/the-interview-tony-patella-of-tellason/#more-11111

does anyone know if that is the only fit they have?

[M.O.A]

for now it is. 2 more coming in the future.

the front rise is going to be higher in the next run as well.

[Medine]

That good, the rise looks really low on this fit. The price point is pretty good as well. This looks like a interesting company and it's cool that theyre 100% american made, I hope to see more from them in the future

[dphi]

Just got a pair and I'm pretty happy with the fit and overall construction. There's a few pairs on sale at Blake right now, I'd definitely recommend checking them out if you're in the area.

Any of your fit pictures?

[shaftoe]

That's a pretty low front rise.

[M.O.A]

fit pics?

Scott from Blackbird looks pretty good in them I must say...

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

I tried on a pair today. If I sized them so that they waist fit correctly the thighs were still too damn skinny... more my fault than theirs, but I was a little disappointed nonetheless.

I mean how are you going to sell jeans in SF/PDX that don't accommodate our bizarre biking muscles?

the denim felt great though.

[M.O.A]

you should come ride your whip with us sometime

[jackandcoke]

not feeling that line running through the back pockets

[kit714]

looks like KMW back pockets

[dkatz]

Found this in the WAYWT Denim Version... hopefully 35percent doesn't mind. I think the fit on him looks terrific.

[M.O.A]

they look really good with those dirty creamy vibram soles

[Hendodo]

hey kix, hows the quality compared to 3sixteen jeans??

[M.O.A]

construction and materials are great...

Personally I prefer most of the 3sixteen jeans but it is probably because I am more partial to the fit...

The cone mills denim is pretty much what you would come to expect. Nice bluish cast

[Thorns]

If I didn't read the caption to the pics, I would assume they were KMW rockers.

[beatle]

Thorns - that really you or did somebody steal your id ?
