Official Fred Perry Thread

[phategunner]

You are lucky to find cheap MIJ, how much you bought it for? No worries, you will learn more about FP if you read this thread, a lot of info here.

2 for $170. I've no real preference for tees as long as they are comfy. But I've been putting off getting polos as I've got too many of them. And SG's weather not good with the collar. Lol.

90 degrees is very hot. But i think the fabric can handle that, but u might be looking at possible shrinkage.

Ok I thought it would shrink. If i by a L and wash it at 90 degrees, do you think it will shrink to a M? Or does it not shrink too much?

And one more question: I were L in generall, that is just a bit too long (Slim and Regular). But M is too thight for me at the chest. Wath do you think I should by, L or XL if it shrinks? Or should I even by MIJ which is even shorter than the MIE? Thanks for advice guys.

Hi guys just a qns . How do you determine if a mij polo is fake or not ? Cos a buyer who just brought my polo says that it's fake because the colour of the buttons doesn't match with the colour of the base colour ?

The buttons on a genuine Fred Perry need not always match the base colour of the polo. For instance, some MIJ polo such as F1102 and M120 are using Mother-of-pearl buttons.

A recap to all of fake F1102 MIJ polo in the market going for as low as $50. Quoted from Rahman's post, 12-09-2009, 12:03 AM

Tell-tale signs of a fake/bootleg/inferior/counterfeit Fred Perry based on the pictures:

1) Hang-tag [Those who owns MIJ will surely understand why]
2) Buttons [Black buttons? OMG! See below authentic piece photo]

Below an authentic piece for your comparison.

Thanks InPhinity for parting your S$50+/-! Its an invaluable lesson.

Quoted from MeRfMeRf's post, 12-09-2009, 04:07 PM

Bro InPhinity. i happened to own the F1102 MIJ in the same colour as the 1 chiu posted and here are some peekutres for comparison to betta illustrate how good those replicas are getting.

Left Side ish the ebay seller's / Right side ish mine bought from Isetan Scotts. LOLx

Over here, the replicas are trying too hard to be "authentic" when it shouldnt have. LOLx the FP buttons here ish the same dominant colour as the polo, this only applies to all except majority of MIJ polos.

Anyway the peekutres are just to educate everyone on how good it those replicas has gotten, if any betta, they might as well make a exact 1:1 piece and sell like authentic pricing. hahaha

Cheers!

makes me wonder if the local FP distributor is roaming this thread and BKing ppl who talk about things that are unfavourable to their business in S'pore.

cos this thread is always targeted unfairly by mods.
