What to know about Tellason

Japanese denim, sewn in San Francisco

Raw selvedge from Kaihara in Japan (and Cone Mills before White Oak closed), cut and sewn in San Francisco rather than offshore.

No logos, no patches

Styling is deliberately unbranded workwear: heavyweight fabric, plain back pockets, cuts intended to fade in over years of wear.

A short, fixed fit range

Instead of seasonal churn there are a handful of named fits — Ladbroke Grove taper, Elgin mid-rise, John Graham Mellor, Fredy wide leg — plus jackets, coveralls and chore coats.
