Fit Guide

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

    Great shirt

    Posted by S on 3rd Mar 2022

    This is a really great quality shit that looks and fits amazing, With proper care it will definitely last for years…. I’m about 5’9”-10”, ~170lbs, a 40 in blazers, and a medium fit perfectly.

    Too tight!

    Posted by Ken on 21st Dec 2021

    The design and quality of this shirt are superb. Sleeve length is generous; perfect. However!-the body and sleeves are WAY TOO TIGHT! Also, the shirt length is about 3" TOO SHORT. If I were still in high school, it would be fine. I usually take an XL, but ordered one size up just for extra room and STILL TOO TIGHT. I imagine a 3X would work but largest size is 2X. These shirts are not cheap, so beware folks!

    Large

    Posted by Colin on 4th Sep 2021

    I'm 5'10" 185 and athletic, 33" waist. Large fits perfect. No baggy and not too tight so as to be restrictive.

    Topper cone denim shirt

    Posted by Simon on 6th Jun 2021

    Great quality material and sewing. Runs small. I am 5'10" and 170 pounds and by no means an XL but that's what I am wearing. That said, I am not a denim obsessive: I wanted to be able to beat the tar out of this shirt and throw it in the washer and dryer like I did growing up with US made 501s. However even with minimal shrinkage due to this being sanforized it fits just right. The large would have been too small. These also seem quite narrow at the points of the shoulders.

    Topper Shirt

    Posted by Ben on 5th Jun 2021

    My 6th Tellason piece. Everything has been said about this shirt. It is a great looking and feeling shirt. Not flashy, not fashionable but excellent quality, just enough workwear looking and attention to details. I apologise for the carbon dioxide related to the shipment from San Francisco to a country in Europe. I will continue to be a vegetarian as compensation. I do not mind.

    Topper

    Posted by Davin on 2nd Apr 2021

    I love everything about the shirt (fit, fabric weight, pockets etc), except the length. The front of the shirt is several inches shorter than the back of the shirt. If it was the same length all the way around it would be 5 stars.

    The hype is real

    Posted by Gil on 13th Dec 2020

    i have been eyeing this shirt for quite some time now, while being insanely skeptical about the hype that was going on about it in both social media and site reviews. This BF I bit the bullet and got one for myself. Guess what the hype is real. Can everything be perfect in a shirt? yes it can and this is it. Perfect fit, amazing fabric. everything just feels right on this shirt.
