Description
A heritage icon reimagined in Fred Perry’s signature twin-tipped piqué cotton.
The Fred Perry Twin-Tipped Polo is the definitive expression of the brand’s sporting legacy distilled into a modern classic. First introduced in the late 1960s, the twin-tipped design emerged as a subtle evolution of the original M360 polo, with two contrasting colour bands adorning the collar and cuffs. The result is a piece that carries an unmistakable subcultural pedigree, adopted equally by the mod movement, the terraces of British football, and style-conscious tastemakers across decades.
Crafted from Fred Perry’s renowned cotton piqué, this polo offers a soft, breathable feel with a refined texture that holds its shape beautifully over time. The flat knit collar features the iconic twin tipping, echoed on the cuffed sleeves, while the laurel wreath embroidery at the left chest — a symbol borrowed from the original Wimbledon winners’ emblem — confirms its heritage credentials. Cut in a regular fit, it strikes the perfect balance between tailored sophistication and effortless sportswear ease.
This particular iteration is a versatile cornerstone for any considered wardrobe, offering the kind of understated design that has transcended generations and subcultures to become a true staple of British style.

Composition & Materials
- 100% Cotton piqué
Fred Perry’s signature cotton piqué is woven for breathability, softness, and a structured drape that softens naturally with wear. The knit collar and cuff tipping are constructed from a finer gauge cotton rib for crisp definition that maintains its shape wash after wash.
Styling
Pair with raw selvedge denim and a pair of leather desert boots for a refined off-duty look, or layer under a Harrington jacket with chinos for an unmistakably British weekend ensemble. The twin-tipped collar works equally well worn open over a plain crewneck tee.
Brand Heritage
Founded in 1952 by former Wimbledon champion Fred Perry, the brand revolutionised sportswear by introducing the first cotton pique tennis shirt bearing the now-iconic laurel wreath logo. Rooted in British subcultural history — from mods and skinheads to Britpop and contemporary streetwear — Fred Perry remains a symbol of individuality, music, and style, with each piece reflecting over seventy years of design heritage.
