A Lacoste short-sleeve polo shirt, estimated from the 1980s.
Lacoste was founded in France in 1933 by René Lacoste, a tennis player who was active in the 1920s.
This is an original French-made piece, sought after by many collectors. Production of French-made Lacoste ceased in the 1990s, making examples from that era and earlier increasingly rare and valuable as collectible items.
While there are no significant differences between French and Japanese-made versions, French-made pieces tend to run slightly larger in the armholes, body width, and length despite identical size markings. As the brand originates from France, those seeking authenticity naturally gravitate toward the original.
The polo shirt transcends genre—it remains a timeless essential.
This example comes in orange.
Colored pieces are often perceived as difficult to coordinate, but this versatility lies in its nature. Wear it as a standalone piece, or layer it beneath a jacket as an accent. Its utility extends further than first apparent.
An investment piece that will prove indispensable.
The size marking of 5 represents an ideal proportion—what might be called a golden size.
Given its proportions, it accommodates a broad range of builds, particularly those of typical Japanese dimensions.
The condition is notably clean, with no significant marks or damage. For its age, the preservation is commendable.
An item that comes into its own during warmer months. If you have been seeking such a piece, this merits consideration.
