Puma Suede 350734 05 Burgundy Gum

We've had quite a few of you getting in touch about the October set of Suedes we put pictures up of a while ago. With this is mind when we got the chance to get our hands on a pair we thought we'd take some more for you. Just so you get a better look at what we personally think are the best Suedes for quite some time.
As you can see the tonal upper is in a rich suede that the colour shows off so well. The gold branding sits nicely on top, managing to be subtle and yet raising the profile of the shoe to stand out from the crowd.

For once a brand has taken the time to get the sole colour just right too. A deep gum with white stitching makes the shoe nigh on perfect. How we wish all trainers had this level of love put in to them.
As always there's a lace flip for you but the fat burgundy work so well we'd have forgiven Puma for not bothering with these to be honest. Still in line for the October the 9th and still at the expected £44.99.

Tellason

Due to be hitting the Ran Shop shelves imminently is Tellason, the all American independent jeans company based in San Francisco, established in 2008. In their short time in production they got our attention for a number of reasons including their passion for quality of product and integrity of distribution. Based in San Francisco they have a hand on approach to the manufacture of the jeans, rather than outsourcing the work to a foreign country. Their selvage denim comes from the famous Cone Mills White Oak plant in Greensboro, North Carolina. A factory which has built up its reputation as one of the worlds premium denim manufacturers, being in constant production since 1905, still using the vintage styling and original constructions to this day. Using American cottons, vintage shuttle looms and sewing machines, and dying techniques they’ve perfected over the year equals great denim!




Keeping things all American and wholesome, Tellason get their leather back patch from Tanner Goods in Portland, Oregon. Who pride themselves on ‘Utilising the most premium leather sourced domestically in America’. Made from vegetable tanned English Bridle American leather, renowned for it’s ability to age beautifully and gain character over years of use. Traditionally used in saddlery and heritage leather goods, English Bridle leather gains colour and marks of distinction like no other leather.



We’re looking forward to getting these jeans into stock, and will keep you up to date on the blog about the date they’re due, exact measurements and fit photos, also we will be keeping a diary on the wearing in of a pair, to give you an idea of the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every pair of Tellason jeans.
