FAQs

Is the sizing true to size?

Yes, the L1212 follows standard sizing. The 'Regular' fit is designed to be true to standard measurements for chest and shoulders.

Can I put this shirt in the dryer?

It is highly recommended to air-dry your polo to avoid potential shrinkage common with natural cotton pique fabric.

Does the logo fade after washing?

The iconic crocodile is embroidered with high-quality thread, but it should always be washed inside out to prevent snagging or abrasion.

Is this suitable for summer wear?

Yes, the cotton pique weave is naturally breathable, making it a comfortable choice for warm weather.

How should I store my Lacoste polo?

Storing it folded on a shelf is best to maintain the collar shape, or using a wide, contoured hanger to prevent shoulder bumps.

Troubleshooting

Collar has lost its crisp shape

Lightly starch the collar during your next wash cycle and iron flat while slightly damp to restore structure.

Fabric feels stiff after air drying

Tumble dry on the lowest 'air fluff' setting for 5-10 minutes with a wool dryer ball to soften the cotton fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless and versatile design suitable for many occasions
  • Premium cotton material feels comfortable and breathable
  • Consistent, reliable regular fit for most body types
  • Durable construction that maintains structure over time

Cons

  • Cotton material may shrink if not washed according to instructions
  • Requires careful pressing to keep the collar crisp
  • Limited stretch compared to synthetic performance fabrics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Lacoste polo stays in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Always turn the shirt inside out before machine washing on a cold, gentle cycle to protect the embroidered logo and pique texture.
  2. Drying: Avoid high-heat tumble drying. Air-drying on a hanger is the best way to prevent shrinkage and maintain the original fit.
  3. Ironing: Use a medium-heat iron if necessary. Avoid ironing directly over the crocodile embroidery to prevent heat damage to the synthetic threads.
  4. Storage: Fold the shirt neatly or hang it on a shaped hanger to prevent creases on the collar.
