Product Information
Full details
The Fred Perry M12 Polo is designed for men who appreciate heritage-inspired fashion with a modern urban edge. Its primary benefit lies in its iconic, high-quality cotton construction and timeless aesthetic that transitions easily from casual to smart-casual settings; however, potential buyers should note that as a regular-fit garment with specific detailing, it requires mindful laundering to maintain its crisp, squared silhouette and embroidered laurel wreath.

FAQs
Does the M12 Polo fit true to size?
Yes, the M12 is designed with a regular fit, which means it follows standard sizing conventions for a comfortable, not overly tight, feel.
Is this shirt suitable for formal events?
It is ideal for smart-casual events, though it is generally considered too informal for strict black-tie or highly formal occasions.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
While air drying is recommended to maintain shape, if you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting and remove it promptly.
What does the laurel wreath embroidery represent?
The laurel wreath is the iconic logo of Fred Perry, representing the brand's heritage in both sports and British subculture fashion.
Are the tips on the collar and sleeves prone to fraying?
When cared for according to the instructions, the ribbed tipping is durable, though it should be handled gently during the wash cycle.
Troubleshooting
Collar losing its crisp shape after washing
Gently reshape the collar by hand while the fabric is still damp and dry the garment flat rather than hanging it.
Fabric shrinkage
Always use cold water settings and avoid the high-heat cycle on your dryer, as heat is the primary cause of cotton shrinkage.
Fading of the black fabric
Wash the shirt inside out and use a detergent specifically formulated for dark or black fabrics to minimize color leaching.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this garment is made from 100% cotton, proper care is essential to maintain the fit and prevent damage to the embroidery. It is recommended to wash the polo in cool water with like colors to preserve the intensity of the black fabric. To prevent distortion of the ribbed collar and cuffs, avoid using high-heat tumble drying; instead, reshape the garment while damp and allow it to air dry flat. Avoid direct contact with iron on the embroidered laurel wreath to prevent melting or fraying. The shirt is compatible with most standard casual wear, fitting seamlessly under blazers, sweaters, or bomber jackets.
