A LACOSTE short-sleeve polo shirt, estimated from the 1980s.
LACOSTE was founded in France in 1933 by René Lacoste, a tennis player active in the 1920s.
This is an original piece produced in France—sought after by many collectors. Production of French-made LACOSTE ended in the 1990s, making pieces from that era notably scarce and valued as collectible items.
While not dramatically different from Japanese-made LACOSTE, the French version features slightly larger armholes, chest width, and length despite identical size markings. For those who prioritize authenticity, pursuing the original is a natural choice.
The polo shirt transcends genre—it remains a timeless essential.
This piece is in black, a color many seek within the LACOSTE range.
In a solid, foundational tone, it pairs effortlessly across any context. The ability to wear it in both casual and formal settings is its quiet strength.
Size 5—arguably the golden size.
A proportion that suits the Japanese physique well, accessible to a broad range of builds.
There is minor wear consistent with age, yet notably absent are significant stains or damage. The condition is clean, considered well-maintained given its era.
An essential for warmer months—if you have been searching, this may be the moment.
