Product Information
Full details
The Lacoste Classic Fit Knitted Polo Shirt is designed for adult men who appreciate a sophisticated, elevated take on the timeless polo silhouette. By utilizing a fine moss-stitch knit similar to premium sweaters, it offers a soft and lightweight texture that distinguishes it from traditional pique cotton polos. While its regular fit provides comfort and a classic drape, users should note that the specialized knitted construction requires more attentive care to maintain its shape and texture over time.

FAQs
Is this polo made of the same fabric as the L.12.12 polo?
While it features the iconic hallmarks of the L.12.12, it is made from a distinct 16-gauge moss-stitch knit, which feels softer and more textured than the standard L.12.12 pique cotton.
How should I store this shirt?
It is best to fold this shirt and store it in a drawer to prevent the knit fabric from stretching or losing its shape on a hanger.
Is the fit true to size?
Yes, this shirt is designed with a regular fit, which is generally true to size. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may want to consult the size guide provided.
Can I iron this polo?
It is recommended to use a garment steamer on low heat if wrinkles appear. If you must use an iron, use a very low setting and a press cloth to protect the textured knit.
What does '16-gauge' mean in the description?
A 16-gauge knit refers to the density of the knitting machine; it indicates a fine, tight knit that results in a lightweight yet high-quality fabric.
Troubleshooting
The knit fabric has developed small snags.
Use a specialized knit needle or a crochet hook to gently pull the snagged thread through to the inside of the shirt rather than cutting it.
The garment has lost its shape after washing.
While damp, gently reshape the shirt by laying it flat on a dry towel and smoothing it to its original dimensions before letting it finish air drying.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Soft, lightweight, and comfortable moss-stitch knit construction
- Versatile regular fit is suitable for both casual and semi-formal settings
- Sophisticated texture adds visual interest compared to standard polo shirts
- High-quality ribbing at key stress points ensures long-lasting shape retention
Cons
- Requires more delicate care compared to standard pique cotton polos
- Available in a specific fit that may not suit those preferring a slim or oversized cut
- The knitted material is more susceptible to snags than tighter woven fabrics
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Lacoste knitted polo maintains its texture and shape, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle to avoid stretching or damaging the fine knit. Use a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
- Drying: Never tumble dry, as heat will cause the garment to shrink and distort. Lay the shirt flat on a clean towel to air dry in its original shape.
- Storage: Fold the shirt rather than hanging it. Because this is a knit fabric, hanging it on a wire or thin plastic hanger can cause the shoulders to stretch or create unsightly 'bumps' in the fabric over time.
- Compatibility: The regular fit makes this garment highly compatible with standard layering pieces like unstructured blazers, cardigans, or zip-up hoodies.
