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,

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.
Terrific and versatile shirt with impeccable fit. 6'1", 210 lbs. wearing a sz L. Gonna be wearing this sucker a good long while.
I can’t say why I want d a true denim shirt, but now that I own this, I do not want to live without it. This shirt is awesome, and I must say, I look darn good in it too! Great shirt and love the feel of it!
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.
Amazingly constructed piece! I’m ready to hammer this shirt for Year 3 of the Redline Rally!
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.
Both the tailored fit and cozy feel work for me. I’m often frustrated by clothes that fail to conform with my slender shape and are made with uncomfortable threads but Tellason seems to have my number and I definitely appreciate finding a clothing line that works well for me. The dopeness is in the details and this timeless top will age with me which I dig!! Sourced locally and awesome customer support will keep bringing me back. Thanks for the assistance with my purchase and my top arrived super fast too! Thxs again, I’ll be back.
Out of the box, the denim was incredibly soft and comfortable! Nothing less is expected from the Tellason guys. Personally, I wish it was offered in an XS. I'm 6' - 130lbs, and it is a bit loose, but it will make a decent shacket.
