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,

    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

    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

    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.

    9 years and counting!

    Posted by Jorge Rodriguez on 20th Nov 2020

    After regular wear for over 9 years, this is hands down (still) my favorite shirt. It's the one you'll keep reaching for. Perfect year-round weight. Even bought an extra one that's still waiting to be broken in someday. Mine is the old Cone Mills fabric (RIP), but looking forward to the Japanese denim.

    Topper Denim Shirt

    What a gorgeous garment! I foresee wearing it 'til it wears out (which with Tellason stuff will probably be a while) and immediately replacing it with another. And, just the right amount of detail. Thanks from this lefty.
