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.

These are the best jeans I've ever had. I wear Japanese Selvedge & Levi 1967s but what I like about these is their out and out authenticity. They don't feel like they've been made for fashion but the result of years of experience. They're sanforised and not too raw so ready to wear perfectly immediately. The details on the stitching, the leather and the inside tags, as well as these being individually numbered makes them really special. Just go to the Cone Mills website and you'll get a feel for how special these are. I bought mine in the sale for £100 from The Bureau. The best 'unseen' product I've ever seen. And now the famous Mr Williams is backing these so must be onto something ...
