CORBIN SHAW X FRED PERRY SPECIAL EDITION COLLECTORS BOX
 
'DEAR SHEFFIELD SHIRT'  2024, Navy cotton piqué with elastane, thread, buttons
 
Avaliable in sizes S to XL.
 
DEAR SHEFFIELD is 1 of 2 limited edition designs in Corbin Shaw's first collaboration with legendary British brand Fred Perry. 

Exploring the rites and rituals of British youth, and the concept of getting ready for what comes next, Shaw reimagines the Fred Perry Shirt with two new iterations. One acts as a love letter to Sheffield, the place he grew up, complete with ‘DEAR SHEFFIELD’ patches and bespoke poem embroidery. The other mirrors the obligatory leavers shirt at the end of school, with flocked scribble graphics and ‘leavers’ patches. Both adopt the signature Fred Perry Shirt fit and details, signed off with Laurel Wreath embroidery at the chest.
 
“I wanted to explore my own experiences. I didn’t want to try and adopt a nostalgia that wasn’t mine. This was about the 2000s and 2010s – a representation of the not so distant past, to celebrate it with something physical. I hope that the shirts can resonate with people’s own relationships to the polo. I like the idea of the two shirts existing together like two siblings, one just leaving school and ready for the summer, the other on his way out to town with his favourite aftershave on.”
