Sometimes, an easy one comes along. This is one of them. No story about jumping off a roof or a white knuckle plane landing in Padang, Indonesia, at 500 mph.
This one is all about our longtime, straight leg fit, called the Ankara. I do one jean at a time and after 17 years wearing Tellason denim, this jean has gone around the sun with me more than any other fit. Straight leg all the way. Not too tight or too loose through the leg. It may be the ultimate fit when you happen to see a pic of yourself 30 years from now wearing our jeans that lets you think, "that was a good pair of jeans right there".
The 16.5oz is proprietary denim from Kaihara and our heaviest core fabric of the four we make. We are stocked up so grab yours while they last.
Cheers y'all,

Sometimes the best compliment you can give a thing is that you never have to think about it. These jeans always work. I never have to think about it, put them on and wear them. As they get lighter they get more casual. So they do everything!
I already have a pair of Blubaugh 16.5 oz jeans which although are a little snug around my thighs, I really like still the same. I purchased the Ankara for the additional thigh space, and i have to say, i am not disappointed. These jeans fit really well off the bat, and i am more than happy to break them in and make them my own. They are such well made jean, that ooze quality and class. As the world is dead set on blowing each other up. I am secure in the fact that i can face whatever the future throws at me, in my pair of Ankara 16.5oz jeans. Peace and love to all.
These jeans instantly became my favorite pair as soon as I put them on. The thickness of the denim was a little frightening at first but after two days of wear they softened right up to a perfect fit.
This is my third pair of Ankara straight leg The 16 ounce was a big surprise for me because of the stiffness of the jeans it took me a while to get the jeans on but the quality of the Japanese Savage jeans are great. I got these mainly for riding my motorcycle.
Love the fit and fabric. Initially when out them on the pockets seems big but as you wear and they mold to your body it actually becomes a nice style. Def will buy another pair in a different color/fabric. The fact it’s made in US from Japanese fabric is a cherry on top
It’s tough finding selvedge jeans if you squat 3x/week IYKYK. However, I can say that Ankaras are the best I’ve found yet. These are the only Tellason jeans that fit me but they fit great and if you like the straight leg look then go for it. I’m 5’7” tall and weigh 165# and the size 31” waist fits me perfectly. They definitely need a hem but I’ll be sending them in for the free service (TY Tellason!).
These are the best jeans I have owned. Great fit and the perfect weight …I stocked up and bought several pairs
Only had these jeans a week but the quality is great. A couple of years ago I bought the JGM's, and last year a pair of the Stock Straight. Really dig those and wanted to try the heavier 16.5 selvedge Ankara's. I can already tell they are going to be my everyday jeans for a long time to come. I like Pete and Tony's story and like to support guys like this and love all their products.
These are the best pair of jeans I’ve ever purchased in my life. The fit out of the box was perfect size wise, and the comfort improved with each wearing. The weight is heavy enough that I expect excellent durability. The craftsmanship is flawless. I think I may never buy another brand of jeans.
