FAQs
What does 'ripstop' mean?
Ripstop is a weaving technique that uses a crosshatch pattern of thicker threads at intervals to prevent tears from spreading if the fabric is punctured.
Is this shirt machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a cold, gentle cycle and air drying to maintain the fabric's durability.
What is the fit like?
This model is designed with a regular fit, providing a comfortable, standard silhouette that is not too tight or too loose.
Can I use the chest pockets for heavy items?
While the pockets are secure with press studs, they are designed for light everyday items like keys or a wallet rather than heavy tools or tech.
What is the benefit of a two-way zip?
A two-way zip allows you to open the bottom of the shirt independently of the top, which provides extra room at the hips and improved airflow.
Troubleshooting
Zip becomes stuck or difficult to operate
Ensure no loose fabric is caught in the track and wipe the teeth with a dry cloth to remove debris.
Press stud fastener feels loose
Avoid pulling on the fabric itself when unfastening; always pull near the base of the stud to prevent tearing the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fred Perry Ripstop Pocket Overshirt, avoid using harsh detergents that can degrade the structural integrity of the synthetic weave. It is recommended to wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle. Always close the two-way zip and press stud fasteners before placing the shirt in the wash to prevent damage to the mechanism. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape and finish of the fabric. Since this is a regular fit item, it pairs best with straight-leg denim or chinos for a balanced look.
