After last year's Pop-Up flea, I wrote a piece on Tellason denim and the two guys behind the label, Pete Searson & Tony Patella. At last year's Pop Up they were selling a limited edition straight leg version in conjunction with A Continuos Lean. I forked over my money without hesitation.
I wore the hell outta my Tellason x ACL straight leg jeans over the past year: shoveling snow in them, cutting the grass in them, and raking leaves in them. Even put them through the washing machine twice and they turned out superb.
I had the pleasure of chatting with Tony and Pete again at this year's Pop Up Flea. I'm happy to say that over the past year Tellason has gotten itself into the finest denim shops in the world. They even opened their own on-line store (check out Tellason.com).
At the Pop Up flea, Tony showed me their latest creation: a straight leg version (known as the Ankara) that was made with 14.75oz denim woven by Cone Mills. The denim is exclusive is Tellason. It has a wonderful, thick (but soft) feel to it, and a deep indigo shade. Gorgeous to see and even better to wear. I could not resist and had to pick these up this past week.
If you're looking for some American-made (San Fran, that is!) denim, from top to bottom, leather patch to pocket stiching, you really ought to give Tellason a serious look.
I can't think of two more passionate, fine gentlemen I'd rather give my greenbacks to for the real blues.
