A NOTE FROM PETE & TONY

My youth was consumed by skateboarding, ramp building, hassling my older sister, and plenty of pencil fighting. I just asked our intern, Sam, if he ever did any pencil fighting with his friends and he asked if that means to go after your friends with a sharpened pencil to wreak some havoc. My answer was "no", thankfully. Pencil fighting was the act of one person holding a pencil on each end, while the other person tried their best to snap that pencil with a pop from your own, using that metal eraser holder as the business end. Tony and I just tried to have a go at it, without success. Tony's comment was that pencils are made stronger than they used to be.

Our Topper shirt would have been a fine choice to show up to this childhood duel since it has a pronounced pencil holder on the right side. It would have been a smooth move to maintain eye contact with my opponent as I reached over for my chosen lumber with a little spaghetti western music playing in the background.

This denim shirt of ours is the first shirt we made 14 years ago and remains our pride and joy. Here we have it in a beautiful 7.5oz denim from Japan and cut and sewn in San Francisco, just like the rest of our goods. It has a bit of western design to it, as well as some classic utilitarian pocketing. We are stocked up and happy to offer this classic of ours.

Enjoy and thanks for your support,

    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.

    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 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.
