Fred Perry Reissues Original Twin Tipped Polo Navy / Nut Flake / Nut Flake

The original Fred Perry twin tipped polo shirt. Expertly made in Leicester, England, and featuring Fred's iconic streamlined fit. A staple of British subcultural attire for 60 years. Made in Leicester, England / Cotton piqué / Slightly boxier fit than the original M3600 with a sophisticated flat hem / Twin tipped collar and cuffs / New fixed, two-button placket The M12 polo shirt, an authentic classic made in Leicester, England, has not changed since Fred Perry first designed it in the 1950s. Legend has it that a customer at Lillywhites asked to have a Fred Perry polo shirt customized with the colors of his football team. 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 a sportswear company into a streetwear brand. Featuring Fred's iconic streamlined fit, which is slightly boxier than the M3600, this model is the result of meticulous craftsmanship, with each polo shirt knitted, dyed, cut, embroidered, and finished by hand in Leicester, England. This version offers a striking reinterpretation of the original model by using a palette of white, ice, and maroon tones, inspired by the colors of the 1970s West Ham United football club. A version inspired by the bold attire of the 1970s subcultures. We are exploring new ways to reduce our impact on the planet. This item features the following sustainable characteristics:
