Portland, OR
I found Tellason after I had two pairs of APC jeans that had blown out the hip seam (worse in the larger and less worn size!). For the most part I liked everything else, but for $190 I would expect better durability after 1 year and 3 washes. Almost all of my previous jeans have lasted longer. After one week wearing my Tellason's I can see obvious differences in quality. I appreciate the option of denim weight at no extra cost, which gave me a further comparison between Tellason & APC. I chose 14.5 oz which is great for cooler weather, and will test the durability over time. I'm also happy to support American businesses that make quality products. For every year these last me, I'll buy another!
