Fred Perry is a British sportswear and casualwear label started in 1952 by three-time Wimbledon champion Fred Perry with Austrian footballer Tibby Wegner, beginning with a sweatband before the piqué tennis polo. Its laurel wreath, taken from Wimbledon imagery, marks the M12 and twin-tipped M3600 polos alongside Harrington jackets, track tops and knitwear, and the brand remains tied to mod, skinhead and casual subcultures. Japanese apparel group Hit Union has owned it since 1995; it runs 200-plus stores and reported roughly £154m revenue in 2024.
