Product Information

Full details

This Fred Perry Polo Shirt is designed for adult males seeking a modern twist on a classic sportswear staple. Its key benefit lies in the premium cotton crepe piqué fabric, offering a sharp, modern aesthetic with enhanced wrinkle resistance. A potential caveat is the half-zip fastening, which may differ from traditional buttoned polos. This shirt features a regular fit, a metal silver-tone half-zip, single tipping on the collar and cuffs, and the signature embroidered Laurel Wreath emblem.

FAQs

What is 'crepe piqué' fabric?

Crepe piqué is a type of cotton fabric with a textured, slightly crinkled surface that helps to prevent the garment from creasing easily, offering a sharper appearance.

How does the fit compare to a standard polo shirt?

This polo features a 'Regular fit,' which is a classic and comfortable silhouette. It is neither too tight nor too loose, designed to suit most body types.

Can this polo shirt be worn for sports?

While inspired by sportswear, its breathable cotton and wrinkle-resistant nature make it suitable for casual sporting activities or as everyday wear. For intense athletic performance, specialized sportswear may be more appropriate.

What is the significance of the Laurel Wreath emblem?

The embroidered Laurel Wreath is the signature motif of Fred Perry, symbolizing the brand's heritage and association with tennis and subcultural style.

Is the zip closure suitable for all occasions?

The metal half-zip fastening provides a modern and slightly more casual alternative to traditional buttoned polos. It is ideal for smart-casual events and everyday wear.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. For this specific product, the size is listed as XL with a UK waist size of 42, and a generic apparel size of XL.

What other colors are available for this model?

This specific listing is for the Blue XL variant. Other colors and sizes, such as Cream and White, may be available under different product listings or from other retailers.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears wrinkled after washing.

Ensure the garment is removed from the washing machine promptly and either hung to dry or tumble dried on a low heat setting. The crepe piqué fabric is designed to resist wrinkles, but prompt drying helps maintain its structure.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth. Avoid excessive force.

Embroidery is fraying.

Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors. Avoid washing on high heat or with abrasive materials that could damage the embroidery.
