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 9 oz. 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,

    Denim Topper

    Out of the box, this instantly became my favorite shirt. I do not say that lightly. The cut is great, and I love the little details in the styling? The drape of the denim in perfect. It feels substantial and at the same time familiar and comfortable.

    This is definitely one of my favorite shirts and favorite pieces from Tellason. It's really like the perfect shirt. It's tough, looks great in any situation, high quality, and fits well. Regarding the fit, I am 5'10", 175, 40" chest and this is a fitted shirt as a medium. I could probably even go to a large for a bit more room.

    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

    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.
