Fred Perry sportswear has been hot-selling for over 50 years. You can buy harrington jackets at the Fred perry site even now. Who was Fred? You should not need to ask. But,if you do, here is a brief note:

This year tennis will be celebrating the centenary of the birth of tennis legend Fred Perry.

Fred Perry born Stockport ,England,in 1909 won three consecutive Wimbledon titles, the first in 1934. An outstanding athlete- he planned on always being fitter than his opponents and was a winner all the way- Fred Perry was on top of his game in the 30s and 40s, but was also winning trophies in the early 50s. Perry who died aged 85 ,in 1995,had a superstar status and lived the full celebrity lifestyle,and for a time in Hollywood.
But Perry was prepared for the time when he would have to give-up competitive tennis. Apart from being in regular demand as a media commentator for his sport,he was an extremely successful entrepreneur establishing his own sportswear business and brand (the laurel logo), which is now more than 50 years old and continues to prosper.

As well as wearing the famous laurel motif on his tennis shirts, Andy Murray the current top British player and one of the very best in the world, will hope in this Centenary year to emulate Fred Perry by winning the Wimbledon title. Commentators believe he stands a real chance of success.

For a wide range of sportswear,including harrington jackets, the Fred Perry site is well worth a good look.
