FRED PERRY TEAMS UP WITH G. H. BASS ON FOOTWEAR CAPSULE
Fred Perry has teamed up with G.H. Bass & Co. on two adaptations of the footwear brand’s iconic leather Weejuns.
Adopted by presidents and Hollywood legends alike, Weejuns have been a smart staple and key part of some of the most influential moments in fashion history. With a mutual connection to subculture and a passion for practicality and quality, Fred Perry and G.H. Bass & Co. partner up on a penny loafer in oxblood and navy colors, and a tassel loafer in black and bottle green colors.
A collaborative effort, these Weejuns are given the Fred Perry treatment, with tough, heavy-duty styling. Designed with a thick, ridged commando outsole, the leather in-sock is finished with a tartan trim taken from the brand’s Harrington jacket.
Made with a traditional hand-sewn moccasin construction, the contrast trim above the outsole references Fred Perry’s ubiquitous tipping detail, which is found on the Fred Perry Shirt.
Weejuns x Fred Perry retails for $220 and will be available to purchase on both ghbass.com and fredperry.com.
