Fred Perry Shoes Company started out in the late 40s with making sweat bands and this attained instant success. The “laurel” which is the logo of the brand is stitched on every product and it is perhaps the most popular ones of all times. After considering various other logos for his brand, Fred Perry along with his business partner Tibby Wegner, an Australian footballer decided upon the “laurel”. But, permission of the All England Club had to be sought as this emblem was associated with the Wimbledon, and though his relation with them was not all that smooth, the Club granted him permission in writing.
After the success of the sweat bands they then moved on to sportswear. The
Fred Perry shirts were an instant hit. The company tasted success from the word go. Their shirts were the type that had a slim fit which made it very different from the shirts that were available at the time. In 1961, the partners sold out to Charles Mackintosh Company.

shoe. The company diversified and added many other products to their list which included both men’s and women’s clothing, jackets, knitwear, scarves, gloves, beanie hat, bags, footwear and other accessories.
