Fred Perry Reissues Original Twin Tipped Polo Black / Oatmeal / Whisky Brown

The original Fred Perry twin tipped polo shirt. Expertly made in Leicester, England, with Fred’s signature streamlined fit. A staple of British subcultural uniform for 60 years. The M12 polo shirt – the authentic original, made in Leicester, England, it hasn’t changed since Fred Perry first designed it in the 50s. The story goes that a buyer from Lillywhites requested a Fred Perry polo shirt in their football team’s colours. Fred obliged, subtly incorporating the team colours into the collar and cuffs. And so the M12 was born. The first to carry our signature 5-4-4 twin tipping, it took the brand from sportswear to streetwear. With Fred’s signature streamlined fit and slightly boxier than the M3600, this style is constructed with authentic care, with each polo shirt knitted, dyed, cut, embroidered and hand-finished in Leicester, England. -Made in Leicester, England -Cotton Piqué -A more boxy fit than the original M3600 with a neat, flat hem -Twin tipped collar and cuffs -New fixed inserted placket with two button fastening -Recycled tipping and sewing threads -Buttons made from recycled materials -Embroidered Laurel Wreath referencing the use of more sustainable materials -100% Cotton -Machine Wash -Style M12 T24
