Tellason Slim Straight Jeans, featured in Made Collection’s “Prison Blues” sale
Lifelong friends Tony Patella and Pete Searson began Tellason after spending 20 years in the fashion industry, working their way up to the top of the denim food chain. Inspired by all things authentic and handmade, Tony and Pete decided that a proper men’s jean that lived up to their scrutinizing standards would be their first product. Eventually, Tellason gained accolades for the ultra-high quality and great fit of their jeans, which has earned them a spot in some of the world’s best denim shops. Tellason is based out of San Francisco, California.
