FAQs

What is the 'petit piqué' fabric?

Petit piqué is a type of cotton knit fabric characterized by its small, textured weave, often described as a honeycomb or waffle pattern. It's known for its breathability, durability, and comfortable feel.

How do I know if I've ordered the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Lacoste or the retailer. The L.12.12 Original Polo typically features a 'Regular fit,' which is neither too tight nor too loose. Consider your preferred fit and compare your measurements to the guide.

Can I wear this polo shirt for business casual?

Yes, the L.12.12 Original Polo is well-suited for smart-casual environments. It pairs effectively with chinos or dress trousers. For more formal business settings, a collared dress shirt is usually more appropriate.

Are the buttons real mother-of-pearl?

Yes, the L.12.12 Original Polo typically features genuine mother-of-pearl buttons, adding a premium detail to the shirt.

How should I store the polo shirt?

It's best to fold the polo shirt rather than hanging it to prevent stretching, especially around the shoulders and collar. Store in a cool, dry place.

What does the 'L.12.12' in the name signify?

The L.12.12 designation refers to the original model of the Lacoste polo shirt, designed by René Lacoste himself. It represents the brand's heritage and iconic status.

Is this shirt suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the breathable petit piqué cotton makes it comfortable for hot weather. The two-button placket also allows for ventilation when unbuttoned.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing

Ensure you are washing and drying according to the care instructions. Use cold water and low heat for drying. Air drying is often best for cotton to prevent shrinkage.

Collar or cuffs losing shape

Check if you are using a gentle wash cycle. Avoid high heat in the dryer. Ironing the collar and cuffs on a medium setting can help restore their shape.

Color fading

Wash with similar colors in cold water. Turn the garment inside out before washing and ironing. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
