The original Fred Perry twin-stripe trim polo shirt. Expertly tailored in the English town of Leicester and featuring the iconic Fred streamline cut. A benchmark of British subcultural clothing for 60 years.​Made in Leicester (England) / Cotton piqué / Cut with more square lines than the original M3600 model with a flat and sophisticated hem / Collar and cuffs with two-stripe trim / A true classic crafted in the English city of Leicester, the M12 polo shirt hasn't changed at all since Fred Perry first designed it in the 1950s. Legend has it that a Lillywhites customer asked to customize a Fred Perry polo shirt with the colors of his soccer team. Fred then decided to subtly add the team colors to the collar and cuffs. And that's how the M12\ was born. The first to feature our signature 5-4-4 twin-stripe trim, this new model took the brand from sportswear to streetwear. Featuring Fred's iconic slim fit, with lines that are slightly boxier than the M3600, this model is the result of a meticulous tailoring in which each polo shirt is knitted, dyed, cut, embroidered and finished by hand in the town Leicester English. 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 football club West Ham United of the 70. A version inspired by the daring clothing of the subcultures of the 70s. We are studying new ways to reduce our impact on the planet.
