[mspark]

calvin,

pls post fit pic in this thread wearing your lacoste polo.

[Servo2000]

If your friends / friend bought it for you then clearly they like it / think it fits in with how you dress so they're not going to care or think badly of you for wearing it. The only people who could give a fuck live on the internet. It's a polo. Wear it when you need to wear a polo. I prefer my Perry's but they're just as generic as any old Lacoste. Maybe a tad less associated with collars-popped-bro-dom but only just.

[salaryman]

I wear them but my family summers in Europe and owns horses, so we can.

[ProfMonnitoff]

i wear them fuck the haters

i also play tennis and golf though

[redshirt]

I have a couple of them. Fuck the haters

[redshirt]

those be my fave shirts when im playing golf off the rooftops!

[freecat]

Lacoste is cool. In France it used to have a bad connotation since douchebags and thugs wore their tracksuit. But if you like it, just wear it, their polos are great.

[ProfMonnitoff]

im calling out everyone who voted no

the high quality ones are very good polo shirts and crocodiles are pretty badass animals. theyre basically dinosaurs except not extinct and dumb and dead.

[thescott]

collars stay popped

[gimmegimme]

I wear them.

I think the real question here is, is it a crocodile or an alligator?

Alligator. Lacoste was nicknamed "The Alligator" because of a bet he made over an alligator-skin suitcse.

Way to ruin a perfectly good debate:mad:

[Guest doubletap]

are you afraid of getting called out on the streets or in your WAYWTs for wearing lacoste?

either way thats some lame shit. lacoste is classic.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

Rene Lacoste originated what we now call the polo shirt (he called it a "tennis shirt").

Wear it fearlessly.

[sistersuzie]

my mom had a crazy, oversized (well to me) marine cardigan in the 80's, early 90's. I miss it so much

[nf one]

i seen hella japanese dudes wearin lacoste circa izod days, parkas and harringtons and shit with their boots and long samurai hair and i cry tears of jealousy on the inside

[skistar]

they fit very well for a decently priced polo I'd say... better than anything I've ever had the chance of trying on that was under 70-80 bucks. Where I live you don't see a lot of them around though so I might be biased but shit, if it fits you and you like it, why not.

[supertard]

Lacoste boaties are great man.

Fuck izod lacoste. Worst marketing decision ever.

[JackPhotography]

i like the ARC X Lacoste collab

but even then it not that great

should have kept underground and did small collabs and runs and not whored out like last time they were kewl and got overplayed.

[ProfMonnitoff]

also theyre responsible for shit like this

[denimdestroyedmylife]

most of you are too young to remember this (i include myself, though i have heard of people finding these things in thrift shops way back when [1990s]):

Businessman Barry Gottlieb, 34, is the scourge of preppiedom. First he designed a belly-up alligator that poked fun at the celebrated reptile on Izod Lacoste shirts. Its name: the Croc O' Shirt. Unamused, Izod Lacoste sued, and Gottlieb's Mad Dog Productions (1983 sales: $300,000) agreed to withdraw its parody pullovers. Mad Dog is again on the run. The satire this time is Ralph Lauren's polo-player insignia. Gottlieb's Horse Shirt shows the rider being dragged behind the horse. Lauren sued, and Gottlieb has again promised to halt sales. Said he last week: "I was only poking a little satiric fun at the whole preppie movement. Everyone should be able to laugh." But not, in Gottlieb's case, on the way to the bank: he has now lost two of the three items his firm produces. The only one left is Silent Vigil foam-rubber wind chimes, introduced two months ago "for those who love the look but hate the sound." Silent Vigil sales to date: 2,000 toneless tintinnabulators.
