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 during the 1920s.
This is an original French-made piece, sought after by many collectors. Production of Lacoste in France ceased in the 1990s, making pieces from that era and earlier quite rare and considered essential collection items.
While not drastically different from Japanese-made Lacoste, the French version characteristically offers slightly larger armholes, chest width, and length despite identical size labeling. As a French heritage brand, those seeking authenticity naturally gravitate toward the original.
The polo shirt transcends genre—it remains an eternal classic.
This example appears in the rare écru colorway frequently sought among Lacoste enthusiasts. It is indeed a notably uncommon shade.
Écru describes a natural, off-white tone—the color of undyed fabric.
At first glance it may read as white, but direct comparison reveals the distinction clearly. White can appear somewhat transparent, while écru maintains full opacity and substance.
This monochromatic base proves versatile across contexts and styling approaches. Its suitability to both casual and formal settings is a genuine asset.
Size 7 is notably generous—an uncommon scale to encounter.
The generous proportions accommodate larger frames without constraint.
There is minor wear consistent with age, though the piece is notably clean with no significant soiling or damage. The condition reflects careful stewardship across the decades.
A natural summer essential. Should this align with what you seek, this opportunity warrants consideration.
