The Topper shirt (named after the drummer of The Clash, not the fact that you wear it on the top part of your body), was the first shirt we ever produced, over fifteen years ago. I still have my original and wear it frequently.
In 1978, when I was a kid, my family and I visited Pier 39 in San Francisco and my father, brother and I were thrilled to see a store called "Left Hand World" -- as left handed writers, we always talked about how notebooks, school desks, literally everything was oriented towards right handed people. Makes sense we surmised, as 90% of people globally are right handed. When designing the Topper shirt, I decided to take care of my people -- the pencil/pen holder is located in the right chest pocket, making it easy for us lefties to grab the writing implement.
We're proud to offer you (even if you're right handed) our 7.5oz denim Topper shirt.
All the best from Sausalito, California,

Simply the best denim shirt I’ve ever bought. It’s still very new but it fits beautifully and can’t wait to see how it breaks in over time. Fast delivery, quick responses, quality products, what’s not to like.
I've been eyeing the Topper Denim 7.5 for a long time, so when it popped up as the Item of the Week, I knew it was finally time to pull the trigger. I'm wearing it now and looking forward to giving it plenty of wear this fall and winter. Couldn't be happier with it. Thanks, guys!
The Topper - Denim shirt is the best denim shirt I;ve ever owned, the quality, design and cut... absolute perfection!
I don't recall ever owning a denim shirt before. But I took a chance and I don't regret it at all. It's not too heavy so it is easily a three season shirt but I have just enough room for an undershirt as well. Color is legit. Very happy with it.
This thing looks great and feels great. It’s a classy look and almost like a Tailored fit. I’m sure it will patina nicely. I typically wear a large to XL and I went with a large in this and it fits nice over a t shirt no problem.
This is my second Tellason Topper shirt; the other one is in chambray and sees a lot of wear. This 7.5oz denim Topper is super comfy and built to last. I'm stoked for many wears ahead. Recommended, hands down, no question. Tellason makes awesome clothing.
My favorite shirt. Just purchased my second. First shirt is still going strong that I purchased in 2016. The original shirt developed great wear marks / fades and has been easy to patch and mend. Looking forward to many more years of use. Also have a Clampdown that looks great and six pairs of jeans. Really love their clothes.
This is a great shirt. The fit is perfect, color is nice and crisp. Workmanship is really nice. I am totally enjoying wearing this fine shirt. The topping on this ice cream cone of a shirt is getting a nice black pencil. Not the natural finished pencil they have been using, but a nice black pencil. Getting this shirt and the black pencil was like Christmas, in August. Good job, Pete and Tony, good job.
Just added this wonderful denim shirt to my growing collection of Tellason goods. The weight is perfect on its own - so far I've worn it with sleeves rolled up for the hot desert Summer - while the cut can accommodate a light thermal layer for the upcoming Fall. The Tellason-branded pencil in the pocket was a nice touch.
