A LACOSTE short-sleeve polo shirt, estimated from around the 1990s.
LACOSTE was founded in France in 1933 by René Lacoste, a tennis player of considerable renown in the 1920s.
This is an example of the sought-after French production. Manufacturing in France ceased around the 1990s, making pieces from that era and earlier increasingly rare and worthy of collection.
While the differences between French and Japanese-made LACOSTE are modest, the French version does tend to run slightly larger in the armhole, body width, and length despite identical size labeling. Given the brand's French heritage, those seeking authenticity naturally gravitate toward the original production.
The polo shirt transcends genre and category—it remains an eternal staple.
This particular example comes in a light blue.
Coloured pieces are often perceived as difficult to integrate, yet this works equally well as a standalone statement or as an accent layer beneath a jacket. Its versatility is more considerable than one might assume.
A piece worth keeping close at hand.
The size marking of "7" suggests an uncommon proportional scale—generously cut.
The larger dimensions mean those of a substantial frame will find it accommodating.
The condition is notably clean for its era, unmarred by conspicuous soiling or damage.
A piece that performs admirably in warmer months. Should you be seeking such a garment, this may merit your consideration.
