FAQs

What is the primary material of the L.12.12 Original Polo?

The polo is made from 100% high-quality cotton, specifically a breathable petit piqué texture.

How should I determine my size?

The polo features a classic fit. Refer to standard size charts and consider your preference for a looser or more fitted style. Consult the product's specific sizing guide if available.

Can this polo be worn for formal occasions?

While it offers a refined look, the L.12.12 Original Polo is best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions. It provides a more elevated alternative to a t-shirt but is typically not formal enough for business attire.

How do I care for the mother-of-pearl buttons?

The mother-of-pearl buttons are durable and can be washed with the garment following the care instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive force when washing or ironing.

What does 'petit piqué' mean?

Petit piqué refers to a specific type of woven fabric texture that is characterized by small, raised parallel cords, giving it a slightly textured appearance and excellent breathability.

Does the polo have side vents?

Yes, the Lacoste L.12.12 Original Polo features side vents at the hem, which allow for greater freedom of movement and a more comfortable drape.

What is the significance of the 'L.12.12' model number?

The L.12.12 is the original model number for the iconic Lacoste polo shirt, representing its heritage and design.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you are washing according to care instructions, using a cool wash cycle and air drying or low tumble dry. Avoid high heat.

Color fading or bleeding.

Always wash the polo inside out with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid prolonged soaking.

Collar or cuffs losing shape.

Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid excessive wringing or high heat tumble drying, which can distort the ribbed fabric.

Embroidered logo is damaged.

Avoid ironing directly on the logo. If damage occurs, it is generally irreversible. Future washes should be done inside out and with care around the emblem.
