Reissues Original Twin Tipped Polo French Navy / Snow White / Navy In Blue

The original Fred Perry two-stripe trim polo shirt. Expertly crafted in the English town of Leicester and featuring Fred's iconic slimline cut. A reference in British subcultural clothing for 60 years. Item made in Leicester (England) / Cotton piqué / Cut with more squared lines than the original M3600 model with a flat and sophisticated hem / Collar and cuffs with two-stripe trim / New fixed inset placket with two-button closureA true classic made in the English city of Leicester, the M12 polo shirt hasn't changed a bit since Fred Perry first designed it in the 1950s. Legend has it that a Lillywhites customer asked to customize a Fred Perry polo shirt in the colors of his football team. Fred then decided to subtly add team colors to the collar and cuffs. And that is how the M12 was born. This new style, the first to feature our distinctive 5-4-4 twin-stripe trim, took the brand from a sportswear label to a streetwear brand. Featuring Fred's iconic slim fit, with slightly squarer lines than the M3600, this style is the result of lovingly crafted construction where each polo shirt is knitted, dyed, cut, embroidered and finished by hand in-house English from Leicester. This version offers a striking reinterpretation of the original model through the use of a palette of white, ice and maroon tones, inspired by the colors of the West Ham United football club of the 70s. A version inspired by the bold clothing of the subcultures of the 1970s. We are exploring new ways to reduce our impact on the planet.
