Product Information
Full details
This Lacoste Knitted Polo Shirt is designed for the modern adult male seeking a sophisticated yet comfortable addition to his wardrobe. Its key benefit lies in its unique knitted texture and premium organic cotton construction, offering a refined look with sweater-like comfort. A potential caveat is the specific 16-gauge knit, which may require more delicate care than a standard polo. This garment reinterprets the classic polo with a fine 16-gauge knit, a regular fit, and premium detailing.

FAQs
What is the '16-gauge knit'?
A 16-gauge knit refers to the fineness of the knit. A higher gauge number (like 16) indicates more stitches per inch, resulting in a finer, denser, and often softer fabric, similar to a fine-gauge sweater.
Is this polo suitable for warm weather?
The organic cotton knit offers breathability, making it suitable for mild to warm weather. However, being a knit, it might be warmer than a traditional pique polo shirt.
How does the fit compare to a standard polo?
This shirt features a 'classic fit,' which is a standard, comfortable fit that is neither too tight nor too loose. It offers ease of movement.
Can I wear this for formal occasions?
This polo is best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions. While sophisticated, it is not typically considered formal wear.
What are mother-of-pearl buttons?
Mother-of-pearl buttons are made from the iridescent inner layer of certain shells. They are prized for their natural beauty, durability, and unique luster, adding a premium touch to garments.
How do I ensure the embroidered crocodile remains in good condition?
Washing the garment inside out on a gentle cycle and avoiding high heat during drying will help preserve the embroidered logo. Do not iron directly over the embroidery.
What makes this polo 'different' from a regular Lacoste polo?
The primary difference is the material and construction: this is a knitted polo made from fine-gauge organic cotton, giving it a softer, textured, and more sweater-like feel compared to the typical pique cotton polo.
Troubleshooting
Shrinking after washing
Ensure you are using cold water on a gentle cycle and have avoided machine drying. Lay flat to dry and gently reshape.
Loss of texture or shape
Follow the specific care instructions, avoiding harsh detergents and excessive heat. Store by folding rather than hanging.
Buttons becoming loose
If a button becomes loose, carefully re-sew it using a needle and thread matching the original stitch. For significant damage, contact customer support.
Pilling on the fabric
Gentle wear and proper washing (inside out, cold water) can minimize pilling. A fabric shaver can be used carefully on affected areas.
