"Hey Tony, hey Pete. Why the hell is this Tellason Stock jacket so much less than your selvedge jean jacket?" We get that now and then. The answer is a quick one and not fancy.
Selvedge fabric from the U.S. back in the day, and now Japan, costs plenty. With that, you get great cotton, used to make great yarn, used to make great fabric on an old, old machine from a long time ago, that really gets humming once you turn the power on.
Our "non-selvedge" fabric is all the way fantastic, just made differently on a new machine that can produce at a high level. It is less expensive, and lucky for us, is still beautiful from beginning to end. You might not get that coveted selvedge stripe but man, you pretty much get everything else a good denim jacket should offer.
Our Tellason Stock Jean Jacket is still cut and sewn in San Francisco using high grade, double ring spun denim, from Cone Mills and we are stocked and ready to offer this to you.
Enjoy the ride and thanks for your support,
