Estimated early 1980s, LACOSTE short-sleeve polo shirt.
LACOSTE was founded in France in 1933 by René Lacoste, a tennis player who achieved prominence in the 1920s.
This is an authentic French-made piece—sought after by many collectors. Production of French-made LACOSTE ceased in the 1990s, making specimens from this era scarce and highly regarded among collectors.
While largely similar to Japanese-made counterparts, the French version features subtly larger armholes, body width, and length at the same size marking. For those inclined toward authenticity, the original is invariably the preference.
The polo shirt remains an enduring essential, transcending genre and occasion.
This example appears in a rare brown tone—a sought-after colour within the LACOSTE catalogue.
In its understated, monochromatic palette, it pairs with virtually any styling. The versatility to transition between casual and formal contexts is a quiet virtue.
Size 6 is an uncommon, generous proportion in contemporary markets.
The generous cut ensures comfortable wear for larger frames.
While bearing appropriate signs of wear consistent with its age, the piece remains largely unblemished—free of notable discolouration or damage. For a garment approaching four decades, the condition is remarkably preserved.
An ideal summer piece. Should you be seeking such a thing, this may warrant your consideration.
