After Mr. Tony’s opinion, I can choose my size easily. Sheffield 12.5 oz is comfort & look smart for me. My next target is heavier weight Ankara!

This is an easy one to talk about, since I have been wearing this and its cousin, the Ankara, for about 8 years straight. This is a mid-rise jean with a lot of thought put into the waist and high hip area. This can be a tricky exercise to fit since the rolls of selvedge denim are only about 31" wide and creating space for you bunz can challenge even the best pattern makers out there.
In the end, these Sheffield jeans check several boxes for looser fitting jeans without tipping them towards anything considered baggy or stove pipe.
For those lads locked into slim fitting jeans- have a go at these. They may be a ways away from what you already have in your closet but after a month or so, you will grow to appreciate this fit and the timeless style it offers up, not to mention the joy of reaching down for your socks on the floor and simultaneously realizing that that butt crack draft thing is a thing of the past!

My new Tellason Sheffield Jeans arrived today. Perfect, excellent quality with a the typical Tellason style. I am so happy with this garment and will surely buy another one!
Jeans are as American as they get and the best is made from Cone Mills White Oak fabric. The hand and look of the ring ring yarn woven on fly shuttle looms is so much better than that from modern high speed looms there is no comparison. Tellason has the pattern making expertise to make them fit right too, especially in the seat and crotch. The cut and sew quality is A+. I own pairs in Elgin and Sheffield patterns. I look forward to wearing one of my three pairs almost daily. With Cone Mills gone I am stocking up!
I like them all the way around.
Outside of the the great cone mills denim, and style, the one constant I notice about Tellason is the fit of they're clothes. Seriously, everything I have purchased from Tellason, wears as if it is a Tailored and Tapered custom fit! Im 6'2 190 and a size 34 is perfect for me. The Sheffield cut is ideal, it gives the same straight, roomy (not overly loose) fit in the waist and leg of the Ankara, but tapers in around the ankle. These are a great pair of jeans, classic American Denim, I will definitely be back for another pair of Sheffs! (Even if its just to smell the aroma of new cone mills denim 1 more time, lol, its addicting) Anyway, cant say enough about Tellason's outstanding customer service and rapid shipping. Thanx again Pete!
Nice quality denim and very well built. I had high expectations for them after being recommended by a lot of people. They were definitely as nice as I hoped for them to be.
Recently just purchased the third pair of my Sheffields 12.5oz. After getting a good wear-in, they get relegated to work wear where they still take a beating in style. For me, living in a warmer climate, the weight is just right. The size is true and I love the slight taper to the leg. Even after washing (not too often, mind you), I love the colour. Personally, I love the hand written note of thanks thanks that comes with every order. While I know I am just one customer among many, it feels good to know that someone cares and takes pride in a simple, well crafted and timeless garment.
Get a pair, wear them every day, get another pair
This is not my first and certainly not my last pair of selvage denim by Tellason. This particular model fits very nicely and provides enough room, while not looking loose. I would recommend to order a size smaller than your usual pants - my regular pants are all size 31, so I ordered this jeans in size 30 and after 5 wears they feel absolutely comfortable and elegant. Additionally, the customer service is outstanding. Tony and his team went above and beyond for me when I had a small issue with one of my previous pairs of Tellason jeans.
