A NOTE FROM PETE & TONY

My first car was a 1968 VW Bug. It cost me $2,000 in 1981 and it was in perfect condition. I bussed tables to pay for it and waxed that thing so much I am surprised there was any paint left on it. My first surfboard cost me $10 from a garage sale down the street in 1979 and my only regret is that I don't have that South Shore 7' single fin named the "Purple People Eater" anymore.

Tony and I started this Tellason brand with our first and only jean called the John Graham Mellor and a couple of years later, we whipped up our first shirt called the Topper. Twelve years later, we have plenty of great memories in this shirt and have friends around like Matt Clark who has been putting this gem to task building homes around here since our first cut.

There is something to be said about making something for the first time and looking way down the road knowing it was on point and classic enough to not spend one minute trying to "update" to whatever direction the wind is blowing.

With that said, we are stocked and ready to offer up our classic Topper shirt.

Enjoy the ride and thanks for listening,
Tony Patella

    Topper - Denim - 7.5 oz (medium)

    Posted by Nikhil Kothegal on 22nd Jul 2024

    I purchased this Topper - Denim shirt during Tellason's 4th of July sale. I wasn't sure on sizing and went with a large, but wrote a note inquiring. To my surprise, Pete himself called me (so kind!) and discussed with me. I stayed with the large, but upon receipt, it was very long and baggy on me. Perhaps this was due to my short torso for my height? I asked Pete if I could swap for a medium, and he kindly obliged. The medium arrived and fits me much better (doesn't sit way past my bottom) but is still comfortable in the back and shoulders. The shirt feels solid and will work well as an overshirt unbuttoned or tucked in. I'm excited for it to soften up and develop some fades. I am around 5'8" and maybe 160-170 pounds, but as I said, have longer legs for my height. For those who aren't tall/have a short torso, I think the large would be a bit too long. Hope this helps. This is my second item from Tellason (also bought a dyed coverall jacket) and I will continue to support them. Love their products and their weekly writings and personal touches.

    Topper Denim Shirt

    Excellent quality as expected from Tellason. Went with XL. Usually order a L. Definitely like the style of this shirt a little bigger.

    XL fits me

    Posted by David on 7th Jun 2024

    I'm a 43R; 5'10", 185, muscular 56 yr old. I usually prefer XL t-shirts and polos, though some are too roomy, and some Ls occasionally fit nicely without being too snug. This Denin Topper XL is a trim fit athletic cut on me without being tight -- an L would have been too small.

    I can’t say why I want d a true denim shirt, but now that I own this, I do not want to live without it. This shirt is awesome, and I must say, I look darn good in it too! Great shirt and love the feel of it!

    Denim Topper

    I would give this shirt six stars if I could. It is perfectly weighted for summer evenings, the craftsmanship is outstanding, and it feels like running into an old friend. Exceeds expectations for sure! I am 5'8, 205 or so, and bigger in the shoulders and chest. The XL is perfect. Could not be happier and looking forward to something else for the New England fall.

    The attention to detail is great in this piece. I am very happy with my purchase. The added note from the owner is a nice touch.

    Fantastic quality and fit. I'm 6'2 210 lbs and the XL fits so well. I considered other similar quality options and all were more expensive than this piece.
