Between Pete and myself, we've worn all of our selvedge denim fits at one time or another. In my opinion, Elgin is the most versatile. The mid-rise sits comfortably at the boiler, the tapered, but not too tapered leg works well with almost all shoes and boots and for tall guys, it is our longest model.
The name comes from the 1970’s punk venue in Ladbroke Grove, London where before joining The Clash, John Graham Mellor/Joe Strummer's band, The 101ers, had a nine month residency in 1975-76. The pronunciation of Elgin is el-ghin, but if you go there, and fancy a refreshing cocktail, don't ask for a ghin & tonic.
We're pleased to offer you our 16.5 oz selvedge Elgin mid-rise slim tapered jeans.
Keep on wearing pants,

These are great! I had some LadGroves and loved the taper, build quality and denim but I needed something with a higher rise. After a few emails with the Tellason team, Tony directed me to these. I measure 34" at the waist and the size 33 is perfection. This are stiff on the outside and soft on the inside and are the best jeans Ive ever bought.
I joined the 2nd year of the Indigo Invitational (2020) and had planned on using a pair of APC (about 13oz). Once Tellason released this pair in 16.5oz, I abandoned the APCs because this cut fits higher and tapers nicely. Guys with thick thighs and booties will appreciate the fit. I’m going to be wearing these in everything I do, hoping to cross the finish line, in Sept 2021, with some amazing fades. Follow my Instagram for the progress, @dryrungoods.
Tony was super helpful answering questions and helping me out. The Elgin fit is perfect. The denim weight and construction are exactly what I wanted.
Love! I bought these to replace my 5 year old pair of Elgins, which I’m finally retiring. Really liking the new denim. I’m a tall guy and this cut fits perfect.
Was hankering a fit with a little less leg volume than the Sheffield but with a little more room in the crotch than the Ladbroke- boom. The Elgin is great. (6-3, 230, typically wear 38). My 5th pair of Tellasons.
Fantastic feel and finish. Fantastic fit. I’m definitely sold on this brand.
These are top shelf for the new non-suit work week. Top marks to the team.
I’ve owned three pairs of Tellason’s over the last 5 years. The JGM was my first purchases and I’m still wearing those. Then I bought the Ladbroke Grove’s and preferred the over the JGM due the slimmer cut. The Elgin’s are my favorite because it gives me the same slimmer cut as the Ladbroke Grove’s but with the mid-rise which I really like. Highly recommend any of the jeans I mentioned but Elgin’s are my new jean of choice.
Another excellent product! After living in my Tellason tapered chinos for a few years now, I wanted a jean cut to a similar fit and the Elgin nails it. Switching from my Ankara and Sheffield has taken some time but the Elgin may be my new denim home. The rise is just slightly lower than those models and the fit isn't too slim at all. Wearing mine, I look almost as good as Pete does in the product photos. A black version would be nice. Just saying…
