FAQs

What does 'Petit Piqué' mean?

Petit Piqué refers to the specific type of textured knit fabric used by Lacoste. It's a lightweight, breathable cotton weave with a subtle geometric pattern, known for its durability and comfort.

What is the fit of the L.12.12 polo shirt?

The L.12.12 features a classic fit, which is described as a comfortable, boxy, and square cut. It is designed for ease of movement and a relaxed silhouette, rather than a slim or tailored fit.

Are the buttons on the L.12.12 polo real mother of pearl?

Yes, the L.12.12 polo shirt is made with genuine mother of pearl buttons, which adds a touch of premium quality and natural variation to each shirt.

How do I know if my crocodile logo is authentic?

Authentic Lacoste L.12.12 polos feature a precisely embroidered crocodile logo with 2,367 individual stitches. The embroidery should be clean, detailed, and consistently applied.

Can I wear this polo shirt for sports?

While inspired by sportswear and featuring breathable fabric, the L.12.12 is best suited for casual or smart-casual wear. For intense athletic performance, other specialized sportswear might be more appropriate.

What is the fabric weight of the shirt?

The fabric weight is 185 GSM (grams per square meter), which is considered a medium-weight pique, offering a good balance of substance and breathability.

How many buttons does the placket have?

The L.12.12 polo shirt features a two-button placket.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you are washing in cold water and have avoided tumble drying. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat.

Collar or cuffs are losing their shape.

Avoid high heat in washing and drying. Ensure the shirt is laid flat or hung properly to dry, allowing the natural shape to be maintained.

Color fading on the blue fabric.

Use a detergent designed for colored fabrics and always wash cold. Washing inside out can also help protect the color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As an apparel item, the L.12.12 polo requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This polo shirt is designed for adult males. Its classic fit is generally compatible with most body types looking for a relaxed silhouette. It pairs well with a wide range of bottoms, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual trousers.

Care Instructions:

Washing: Always wash cold. Use a gentle cycle and a mild detergent.
Drying: Never tumble dry. This can shrink or damage the cotton fibers and the ribbed collar/cuffs. Instead, lay the shirt flat or hang it to air dry.
Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting. It is often best to iron while the garment is slightly damp.
Cleaning the Crocodile Logo: Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the embroidered crocodile logo to preserve its detail.
