fred perry shirts
- Thread starter Shevek
- Start date
I wonder if it perhaps time that Andy Murray introduced his own brand of polo shirts following in the Fred Perry tradition. He could market them through Edinburgh Woollen Mill. If they were slickly designed by a very modern and stylish designer that would really play with the minds of the fans who liked the design but of course would not touch EWM with a barge pole.

I see there is a Bradley Wiggins range too. Not that practical for riding a bike though.

Following in the footsteps of Pringle?

Fred Perry polos were/are very popular with those fashion/style/musical sub-cultures yes.

It's just tops for men who feel too old to wear iron maiden t-shirts, but are fighting wearing shirts all the time.

I wasn't interested in clothes much back then. Don't think I even bought my own until well into my teens. I associate polo shirts with middle age cos I am middle aged and have taken to wearing them

not likely up here, but I DO have a pair of trainers in WH colours and with a logo which on first glance might be mistaken for hammers

gonna have to stop posting about trainers now cos it's only a week since I bought a pair and I'm helpless in the face of a nice new pair of daps, and I want the craving to at least hold off for a couple of months

I was 11 in 1979, I first had a skinhead in 1979. Loved that music ever since.

I'm one of those twats who buys his polos from camping shops in "technical" fabrics, though only on sale so never more than thirty quid. Some of them do dry a bit quicker and don't need ironing but I don't think my walk to work or down the pub really counts as an expedition. Similar to what Spymaster said, never got on with the collars on Fred Perry.

the first fred perry's that weren't all white were west ham colours, due, so the story goes, to west ham supporting mods pestering lillywhites to pester fred perry.
i think fred perry are doing classics from different decades that include it at the mo*.
*though they might not be and i can't find it anyway.

a word of warning about fred perry shirts. i bought one in '85 which has stretched over the years and is now too big for me.

You've been having your bath too hot and shrunk will be the problem.

yeah, picking a size today was awkward as I'm in the middle of slimming down, but I can always swap it if it's too big.

too late now. XL fits fine except across the gut, which is the only thing I'm going to lose, really, it's not like my frame or shoulders are going to get smaller.
