FRED PERRY x CRAIG GREEN | A New Kind of Uniform

3 min read

Fred Perry and Craig Green are back together — this time with a full collection that fuses two of Britain’s most recognisable design languages. Having previously collaborated on reimagined versions of the classic Fred Perry Shirt, the pair now expand the partnership into something more complete, unveiling their first full ready-to-wear offering during Craig Green’s Spring/Summer 2026 show at Paris Fashion Week Men’s.

The collection is unmistakably British in its sensibility: part sport, part subculture, part workwear. Both brands share a fascination with uniforms and functionality, but here that language is rewritten. Each piece feels designed not for conformity but for reinterpretation — practical yet open-ended, adaptable to the individual.

The foundation, of course, is the Fred Perry Shirt — a piece so deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric of British menswear that it barely needs introduction. For this collaboration, Green pares it back to its essence. Presented in Uniform White and Industrial Green, the shirts feature raw-edge piqué panels that interrupt their clean lines, a quiet nod to deconstruction and the process of making itself. It’s an approach that feels true to Green’s philosophy — celebrating the architecture of clothing while maintaining its purpose.

Outerwear takes on equal importance, balancing familiarity with fresh intent. A reworked Fred Perry Harrington jacket arrives with Green’s signature vertical quilting and a hidden fastening strap at the collar, lending a touch of military precision. A second Harrington, cut in a looser, boxier shape, experiments with proportion and texture, while a waxed cotton jacket — somewhere between field coat and fishtail parka — feels grounded in classic British craftsmanship yet distinctly modern.

Across the collection, the idea of the “uniform” is reimagined as something fluid. The silhouettes are clean but not strict; the palette muted but not minimal. There’s movement between utility and ritual — a sense that these clothes are meant to be worn hard, layered up, and lived in.

For menswear purists, it’s a meeting of two minds that makes perfect sense. Fred Perry brings decades of sportswear heritage and subcultural significance; Craig Green brings intellectual construction and emotional restraint. The result is a collection that feels like a conversation between past and present — a reflection on British identity through the lens of design.

Fred Perry x Craig Green arrives on 16th October at select Fred Perry stores and online.
