Er van uitgaand dat niemand het hier draagt met bomberjack, een kaalgeschoren kop, kisten met witte veters en knetterharde hardcore op de MP3 speler, zal de negaftieve associatie bij de gemiddelde SF-er nogal meevallen. Het merendeel van de domme kaalkopjes zal waarschijnlijk niet eens weten waarom Skinheads in de jaren 60/70 het droegen. Skinheads waren/zijn overigens niet noodzakelijkerwijs extreem-rechtse racisten. Er waren genoeg Jamaicaanse Skinheads, de 'klad' is er uiteraard wel flink ingekomen.

In de reclamewereld zie ik het merk vrij vaak gedragen worden door de creatieve mensen. Regelmatig spot ik de polo's ook bij muzikanten, al dan niet gesponsord. Typisch geval hoe je het draagt, ik beschouw het als een Engelse classic.

Het nare imago van FP is voor een deel natuurlijk ook te danken aan de hooligans (voetbal supporters is niet op zijn plaats).

Ik zie liever iemand rellen in een FP shirt dan in een maatpak van Canali :mrgreen:

Klopt, Nederlandse Hooligans die Britse Hooligans nadoen en het Britse Hooliganisme heeft sterke banden met het arbeidersmilieu, waar de oorsprong ligt van de Skinheadbeweging en de cirkel c.q. bal is rond. Fred Perry was ook een jongen uit het arbeidersmilieu en daarom de held in de dan nog elitaire tenniswereld. Maar goed, deze connectie en oorsprong zal voor de meeste van die idioten in Nederland niet bekend zijn, zij zijn slecht geintereseerd in het intimiderende imago.

jep, het merk is ook hard bezig dit imago van zich af te werpen. De laatste collecties laten dit goed zien!

Ik heb het idee dat ze nooit veranderd zijn. Altijd slank gesneden kleding gebaseerd op tenniskleding. Poloshirts, crewnecks, v-necks en canvas gympies.




FRED PERRY LAUREL - THE CHOICE OF MODS AND NORTHERN SOUL SCENE THROUGHOUT THE 1960'S AND 1970'S.

Fred Perry is the only brand that's consistently been sought out by youth subculture after youth subculture from the 1950s right up to today. Fred Perry has updated the attitude and styling of two key musical movements: the mid-60s guitar bands, and the post-punk scene of the early-80s. These periods shared a similar sharp, slimmed down silhouette including small collars, narrow ties, and slim, flat-front trousers.

The collections main influence is the look and silhouette of the sixties, a decade dominated by youth when British subcultures influenced the world’s fashion and music industry.

Frederick Perry, was born in Stockport in 1909 but moved down South while he was still at school and fell in love with table tennis. He practiced his ping pong every night, eventually becoming world champion at the tender age of 18. He then promptly retired from the game and got busy with his latest obsession, lawn tennis.

Unfortunately his style did not go down too well with the snobbish tennis heirarchy. His habit of changing his clothes mid-game to stay looking fresh, leaping over the net at the end of each match and dating a string of actresses and models caused major problems for this working class playboy. They were especially displeased when he went on to win Wimbledon three times in a row.

After the third victory he decided to move to America and become a pro at the Beverley Hills Tennis Club, giving lessons to Charlie Chaplin, David Niven, Errol Flynn and the Marx Brothers whilst establishing himself on the Hollywood party circuit.

In the late 40s Fred was approached by Tibby Wegner, an Austrian footballer who had invented a novel anti-perspirant device worn around the wrist. Fred made a few changes and the sweatband was born.

Tibby's next idea was to produce a sports shirt which was to be made from white knitted cotton pique with short sleeves and buttons down the front. Launched at Wimbledon in 1952, the Fred Perry polo shirt was an immediate success.

It was only available in white until the late 50s when unwittingly, the company had also produced the perfect accompaniment to the fledgling Mod movement whose were quick to pick up on the shirt’s suitability for their nocturnal activities. It was stylish, top button fastened under an SB3 or mohair suit, and durable enough to wear all night and still look fresh in the morning. It was the shirt of choice for diverse groups of lads throughout the 60s and 70s, ranging from the skinheads to the Northern Soul scene and Manchester's very own "Perry Boys".

Soon, after pressure from its streetwear fans, the company was receiving requests from stockists to add tipping to the collars and sleeves. The Fred Perry shirt instantly became the first crossover brand from sportswear to streetwear.

It started one of the most enduring and affectionate relationships between British youth culture and a sportswear brand. As British street fashion and music influenced the rest of the world, the Fred Perry shirt was noticed, adopted and worn in numerous countries around the globe.

The laurel logo (based on the old Wimbledon symbol) was stitched into the fabric of the shirt instead of merely ironed on (as was the case with the crocodile logo of the competing Lacoste brand).
One thing remains constant. The original slim fit cotton piqué shirt is still made in England to the same shape, using the same fabric as it was when the Fred Perry shirt was first launched, way back in 1952.

When, in the 1990s, British street fashion turned against the giant designer labels and sought something with far more substance and heritage, it was the Fred Perry shirt they turned to. The label represented something of depth and quality within the new sound-bite superficial world that other labels had tried to create.

kan je ze al weer dragen zonder uitgemaakt te worden voor alles wat slecht is?
Volgens mij is dat ook nogal cultureel / landelijk bepaald: Lonsdale is in NL geloof ik nog steeds not done, maar in België heeft dat merk geen énkele connotatie met bizarre-ideeën-mensen.

True. En er is een samenwerking met Raf Simons. Maar de normale Fred Perry lijn vormt nog steeds het belangrijkste onderdeel van het bedrijf.

Op de Fred Perry site zijn de polo's zeer betaalbaar vanwege de gunstige Pond vs. Euro-koers. 45 Pond voor polo, rond de 9 Pond verzendkosten. http://www.fredperry.com/men/shirts/

+1 Goede aanvulling op het topic, naar mijn mening :).
