I'm new to premium selvedge denim, but after editing 5 pairs of lousy jeans from my wardrobe, I figured it was time to see what the fuss was about. I'm very happy with my purchase thus far. The fit is very good, I was worried about this most with online shopping, I'm 5', 7", 145 lbs. and ordered a 31. I washed and machine dried my jeans out of the package, I know, sacrilidge, but I wanted to shrink them 'tight' and wear them to fit. I'm also not such a fan of the waxy look of raw denim, I like the very dark blue color and want the fade to evolve with use, but I also wanted a slightly broken in feel to the fabric. Not sure if I'm going to make it 6-8 months between laundry, either, but I'm optimistic that these will wear well. Next pair, I may try the 16.5 weight. One other comment, I get that US made products have to cost more to support high quality local (ish) stuff, but some of Tellasons other prices seem so far out of whack that it makes me wonder what the 'real' cost of my Ladbroke Groves really is. I mean how much of the $220 goes to supporting an overzealous profit margin or all that free shipping (that I'm unlikely to capitalize on? Pondering a $80 scarf and $30 plain white T-shirt has me wondering. I'd be more inclined to pick up a second pair tell a friend at $180. Just some honest feedback, guys, but you do make a solid pair of jeans. Thanks.
