Fred Perry Reissues Original Twin Tipped Polo French Navy / Snow White / Navy

The original Fred Perry Twin Tipped Polo Shirt. Expertly made in Leicester, England, and featuring Fred's signature streamlined fit. A cornerstone of British subcultural attire for 60 years. The M12 polo shirt, an authentic classic made in Leicester, England, has not changed at all since Fred Perry first designed it in the 1950s. Legend has it that a Lillywhites customer asked for a Fred Perry polo shirt to be customized with their football team's colors. Fred then decided to subtly add the team's colors to the collar and cuffs. And that's how the M12 was born. This new model, the first to feature our distinctive 5-4-4 twin tipping, transformed the brand from sportswear to streetwear. Featuring Fred's signature streamlined fit, with lines that are slightly squarer than the M3600, this model is the result of truly careful craftsmanship in which each polo shirt is woven, dyed, cut, embroidered, and hand-finished in Leicester, England. This version offers a striking reinterpretation of the original model using a white, ice, and maroon color palette, inspired by the colors of the 1970s West Ham United football club. A version inspired by the daring outfits of the 1970s subcultures. -Made in Leicester, England -Cotton pique -Squarer cut than the original M3600 model with a flat and sophisticated hem -Collar and cuffs with twin tipping -New fixed inserted placket with two-button closure -Recycled threads and trims -Buttons made with recycled materials -Embroidered laurel wreath referencing the use of sustainably sourced materials -100% Cotton -Machine Wash -Style M12 Q56 -Fred Perry is proud to be a member of the Better Cotton initiative.
