Fred Perry Tank Tops

Fred Perry prides itself on being the first British heritage brand to successfully blend sportswear with street aesthetics to create some of the most iconic styles of the last century. Throughout the rich history of Fred Perry, they have always stayed true to their ethos of authenticity, integrity and attitude. The brand was established in the late 1940s, when former Austrian footballer Tibby Wegner approached three times Wimbledon champion Fred Perry with an idea: Their initial venture was the very first sweatband, which was quickly adopted by tennis players across the courts of Britain. In 1952 the pair launched what was to be Fred Perry’s most famous garment: a slim fit cotton pique polo shirt with the world-famous Laurel Wreath embroidery. From the beginning, Fred Perry – and the tipped pique shirt in particular – has been associated with a whole series of subcultures driven by musical affinities. Mods, skinheads, suede-heads, soul boys, rude boys, two tone. There was even a short-lived subculture known as the Perry Boys. When Britpop took the world by storm in the mid-1990s, it was no surprise to find leading bands like Blur and Oasis sporting the epitome of street fashion credibility. Today Fred Perry’s Laurel Wreath logo is recognizable worldwide, with shops and customers across 50 countries around the globe. The original Fred Perry cotton pique polo shirt is still made to the same high standards and is synonymous with underground fashion and British coolness. Plus, the brand has collaborated with some of the most exciting and respected artists and designers: from Raf Simons to Richard Nicoll, Emma Cook to Amy Winehouse, just to name a few. Fred Perry continues to search out new and interesting associates to bring innovative ideas to our iconic styling.
