Lacoste Polo L.12.12 - Grey - L

Petit piqué refers to a specific weaving technique that creates a textured, breathable fabric with a characteristic waffle-like pattern. It's known for its comfort and durability.

The L.12.12 polo features a regular fit. It is generally considered true to size for a standard fit. Reviewing the size chart and considering your preferred fit (e.g., looser or more fitted) is recommended.

Authentic Lacoste polos feature a well-defined, high-quality embroidered crocodile logo on the chest, often with precise stitching. They also typically use mother-of-pearl buttons and come with clear brand labeling.

The L.12.12 polo is best suited for smart-casual occasions. While classic, it is not typically considered formal wear. It pairs well with chinos, dress trousers, or tailored shorts.

The L.12.12 is the original and most iconic model, defined by its petit piqué cotton and classic fit. Other models may vary in fabric, fit (e.g., slim fit), or detailing.

Store the polo folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging for long periods, as this can stretch the fabric and collar over time. Ensure the area is dry and free from excessive humidity.

Ensure you followed the cold wash and did not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to dry. If shrinkage is significant, consider if the washing temperature was too high or if it was dried with heat.

Wash with like colors in cold water and use a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

This can occur with frequent washing. Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive materials in the wash. Refrain from harsh scrubbing during cleaning.

Gently re-stitch any loose buttons using a strong thread. Avoid excessive force when buttoning or unbuttoning.
