A LACOSTE long-sleeved polo shirt, estimated from around the 1980s.
LACOSTE was founded in France in 1933 by René Lacoste, a tennis player who gained prominence in the 1920s.
This is a French-made piece—sought after by many collectors. French production ceased once in the 1990s, making examples from that era and earlier quite rare and worthy of collection.
There are no substantial differences from Japanese-made LACOSTE, though the French version tends to run slightly larger in the armhole, body width, and length despite identical size markings. As an original French house, those seeking authenticity naturally gravitate toward pieces made at source.
The polo shirt has transcended genre and era—a quietly enduring essential.
This example comes in the classic black that collectors often pursue.
Being a fundamental single tone, it pairs seamlessly with any styling and occasion. The ease of moving between casual and formal contexts is a genuine virtue.
It works equally well worn alone or layered beneath a jacket—a piece of considerable utility. Having one in rotation is never wasted.
Size 5 is arguably the golden size, accommodating a wide range of builds with particular harmony to Japanese proportions.
The top button is missing, but the piece is otherwise unmarred by notable wear or damage, and remains entirely wearable.
A piece that works across all seasons. If you have been searching, this may be the moment.
