A LACOSTE long-sleeve polo shirt, estimated to be from the 1980s.
LACOSTE was founded in France in 1933 by René Lacoste, a tennis player of considerable note during the 1920s.
This is an original French-made piece, sought after by many. Production of French-made LACOSTE ended once in the 1990s, making specimens from that era and earlier increasingly rare and worthy of collection.
While there is no substantial difference from Japanese-made LACOSTE, the French version tends to be slightly larger in armhole, body width, and length despite identical size markings.
Being a French house, those in pursuit of authenticity typically seek the original.
The polo shirt transcends genre—it remains an enduring staple.
This comes in the classic green that LACOSTE is known for, much sought after by those who understand the piece.
A solid, foundational color. It accommodates any styling without hesitation.
The ease with which it transitions between casual and formal wear is a practical virtue.
It serves equally well worn alone or layered beneath a jacket as a quiet accent. Its utility becomes evident with ownership.
Size 5 sits comfortably in what one might call a golden proportion.
It is a size that aligns well with Japanese proportions, accommodating a broad range of builds.
The overall condition is sound, making it suitable for those who seek pieces in good order.
It remains entirely wearable, of course.
A garment that performs across all seasons. If you have been seeking such a piece, this may merit consideration.
