If you do care about buying original, the following guidelines will be useful. The Price. This might be the most obvious point to take into account. Think twice. Is that brand new with tags polo for just £14,99 likely to be original? The Size Label. The label should include the size. Men's are XS-XL while women's are 8-16. Women's labels nowadays indicate the size in four scales: UK, EU, US and DE. Except special collections, they are dark blue (although pre-90s labels used to be green - when purchasing a vintage polo, green labels are not a sign of imitation.). The laurel should look sharp and detailed, as pictured below. It should stitch down the sides. The Buttons. The colour of the buttons must match the tone of the fabric. They should also be embossed with the words Fred Perry. There might be exceptions, such as Amy Winehouse's collection, Japanese editions or other special ranges, but classic M1200 should get these details right. The Embroidered Laurel. Pay attention at the size and placement of the embroidered laurel wreath. Compare with pieces about whose authenticity you're certain. The Inner Label. The inner label indicates the model and place of fabrication, which come accompanied with the logo of the brand. Fred Perry polos used to be made in England, Italy or Portugal, but now it is common to find items made in China or Macau. The first letters of the code indicate the style. In case of a classic pique polo, M1200 are the first characters you would encounter. The following three numbers indicate the colour of the item. 1. Original Fred Perry jacket has a fixed inner label featuring: Fred Perry logo (uppercase), size ex. L. Inspect carefully that the stitch on the edge should be straight and even. If this inner label does not exist or does not match the description above, Fred Perry Jacket is fake. 2. The inner label shows the following: company logo (FRED PERRY, in capital letters) country of origin, style number: J5221, the material from which the jacket is made, on the back you can see the features you can wash the jacket. The smallest label shows the following: Fred Perry Ltd 24 West Street Covent Garden London WC2H 9NA United Kingdom. 3. Each original jacket must feature the Fred Perry logo. You can see the logo in front of the chest with the following features: 18 leaves of which 9 on one side and nine on the other side. If the number of leaves does not correspond to the description above the Fred Perry jacket is fake. 4. Authentic Fred Perry Jacket comes with a ykk zipper (Cast zippers can be used instead of metal ones, making them lighter than these and available in finishes that mimic the metal.) Carefully inspect the stitch. This must be right and no extra material. The lower part of the inside zipper must have the following text: VISLON (uppercase), YKK (uppercase), SVS (uppercase).
