Product Information

Full details

The Lacoste L.12.12 Original Polo Shirt in Blue (Abyss) and size L is designed for adult males seeking everyday refinement and comfortable wear. Its key benefit lies in its timeless silhouette and breathable petit piqué cotton construction. A potential caveat is its classic fit, which may be looser than some prefer. This iconic polo combines classic style with practical comfort, featuring a two-button placket, mother-of-pearl buttons, and signature embroidered crocodile logo.

FAQs

What does 'petit piqué' mean?

Petit piqué refers to a specific type of woven fabric characterized by its small, raised, diamond-like pattern, which provides a textured surface and enhances breathability.

Is the 'Abyss blue' color true to the images?

Color perception can vary slightly based on screen settings. Abyss blue is a deep, classic shade of blue. It is recommended to view the product in natural light if possible for the most accurate representation.

How does the 'Classic Fit' differ from a slim fit?

The Classic Fit is a standard, comfortable cut that is neither too tight nor too loose. It offers more room for movement compared to a Slim Fit, which is designed to be closer to the body.

Can I wear this polo shirt for sports?

While the breathable cotton offers comfort, the L.12.12 is primarily designed for everyday wear and smart-casual occasions rather than intense athletic performance. For sports, specialized athletic apparel is recommended.

How do I ensure I'm buying an authentic Lacoste polo?

Purchase from authorized retailers or the official Lacoste website. Authentic items feature a well-embroidered crocodile logo, high-quality stitching, and mother-of-pearl buttons.

What is the best way to store this polo shirt?

To maintain its shape, it is best to fold the polo shirt neatly and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging can sometimes cause the shoulders to stretch over time.

Troubleshooting

Polo shirt appears shrunken after washing.

Ensure you followed the care instructions precisely. Avoid high heat drying; opt for air drying. If shrinkage is significant, consider a larger size for future purchases.

Color fading after several washes.

Wash the polo inside out with similar colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight exposure when drying, and opt for air drying.

Ribbed collar or cuffs losing shape.

Reshape the collar and cuffs while the garment is damp after washing. Avoid excessive heat during drying. Lay flat to dry if possible.

Stitching coming undone.

Inspect the garment for loose threads. Minor issues can often be carefully trimmed or secured with a needle and thread. For significant issues, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
