How do I ensure I am buying an authentic Lacoste polo?

Purchase from authorized Lacoste retailers or the official Lacoste website. Look for the signature crocodile logo, high-quality stitching, and mother-of-pearl buttons.

What does 'L.12.12' refer to?

L.12.12 is the original model number for the iconic pique cotton polo shirt developed by René Lacoste.

Can this polo shirt be worn in hot weather?

Yes, the 100% cotton piqué construction is breathable and comfortable, making it suitable for warmer temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Shrinking after washing

Ensure you are washing in cold water and air-drying or tumble-drying on a low setting. Avoid high heat.

Pilling or fuzziness on the fabric

Wash inside out with similar colors. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim or towels. Gentle washing and air-drying can help.

Color fading

Use a color-safe detergent and wash in cold water. Turn the garment inside out before washing and drying to protect the outer surface.

Ribbed collar losing shape

Ensure the shirt is laid flat to dry rather than hung. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh wringing can preserve the collar's structure.
