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,

The fellas have done it again! Another outstanding addition to my growing collection of Tellason clothing. The quality and cut are beyond compare. I bought the XL and at 6' tall and 207 lbs, it fits like a glove. I love it and look forward to wearing it out as it will be worn often!
I have several Tellason shirts: 1988, W10 and Clampdown, this is my first Topper. Like others, I waited on the denim shirt, dunno why. This shirt rocks! The denim is lightweight and warm. Great indigo color. A pleasant surprise to see a Cone Mills tag, thanks Pete and Tony! I received one of the last of the old guard. The fit is similar to the Clampdown (fitted/slim). Me: 5'10" 160lb, size medium fits perfect. I look forward to wearing this shirt as it ages.
I've contemplated a Denim Topper shirt for a few years but always talked myself out of it, thinking I didn't need any more denim shirts. I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger. All those other denim shirts pale in comparison. I expect to be wearing this one a lot and looking forward to seeing how it ages. Quality is top notch as usual Tellason. As is the fit. At 5'10" and about 150lbs, size Medium is perfect for me.
Another quality Tellason garment for my closet! I am learning Tellason garment's are fitted, so if you like a loose fit, you need to size up. I am 5'9'' and 175. I am usually between a medium and large on shirts. I bought a large and at first I thought it might be a tad small but an XL would be too big. I am just not use to a shirt this tailored to fit!
The best thing about the shirt is the sturdy yet lightweight denim fabric, I love it! It fits me well, is very well made and is comfortable and practical. I'll get years of use out of it and look stylish at the same time. I am female, 5'6", slender, size S fits me great.
Great shirt!
I’m 5 10” 185 and the XL fits great. A new favorite that I don’t want to take off. Great summer weight shirt you will not be disappointed with it’s great look!
Haven't had a denim shirt in years, but after purchasing Tellason's denim and black denim jackets, couldn't resist. This is one of my favorite shirts. I'm 180lbs, 5'11 and bought a large. Fits perfectly.
6ft 6in, 6'7" wingspan. Skinny/athletic build. My absolute favorite shirt to wear around the house. Beautifully made, simple, durable. Perfection from Tellason as usual.
