Gustave 16.5oz Slim Tapered
Tellason · £299
Nice, but provisional
£299, the same money as the Ladbroke Grove and the same slim tapered idea at 16.5oz instead of 14.75oz. Two more ounces sounds small and is not: it is roughly double the breaking-in period and a noticeably stiffer jean for the first season. Unless you specifically want heavy denim, the lighter Tellason at the same price is the easier pair to own.
- For
- Someone who wants the heaviest denim here and has broken in a raw pair before.
- Not for
- Anyone new to raw denim, where 16.5oz is an unkind introduction.
What we checked
- A tapered leg with a mid rise for freedom of movement. Son of a Stag
Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
