Oregon Corrections Enterprises Work Apron, featured in Made Collection’s “Prison Blues” sale
Oregon Corrections Enterprises began in 1995 after an Oregon constitutional amendment requiring incarcerated inmates to actively engage in full-time work or on-the-job training passed. The hope was to prepare prisoners to become fully-functioning members of society when they were released. Today, there are 1,115 inmates enrolled in OCE, where they make furniture, garments, heavy machinery, and signage. Every inmate who works there must apply for a position on the factory floor, and over 90% of those that do are eventually released back into the world.

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.
