FAQs
What material is the Lacoste L1212 polo shirt made from?
The Lacoste L1212 polo shirt is made from 100% cotton.
How should I wash my Lacoste polo shirt?
It is machine washable. We recommend washing at 30°C (86°F) with mild detergent, inside out, and with similar colors. Do not tumble dry. Iron on a medium heat setting if necessary.
Does the L1212 polo shirt have stretch?
Yes, the 100% cotton fabric is designed to be stretchable, offering comfort and freedom of movement.
What does the number 'L1212' signify?
The L1212 is the style code that René Lacoste gave to the original petit piqué cotton polo shirt he designed.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the detailed measurement chart provided in the product description. Measurements for bust circumference and pant waist circumference are given for each size to help you find the best fit.
Is the crocodile logo embroidered or printed?
The signature crocodile appliqué is embroidered on the chest.
Can I wear this polo shirt for sports?
While it was designed with sportswear in mind and is comfortable for light activities, its classic design is more often suited for casual or semi-casual wear rather than intense athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing
Ensure you followed the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat in the washing machine and do not tumble dry. If shrinkage is minor, gentle stretching while damp may help. Consider referencing the detailed size chart for future purchases.
Color faded after a few washes
Verify that you are washing with mild detergent and not using bleach. Washing inside out and with similar colors can also help preserve the color. For future washes, use a cold or lower temperature setting.
Collar or cuffs have lost their shape
Ensure the shirt is dried properly, ideally by laying it flat or hanging it. Avoid excessive wringing. Some minor reshaping may be possible while the garment is damp. The ribbed knit is designed for resilience, but improper drying can affect it.
Embroidery (croc logo) is damaged or peeling
Avoid ironing directly on the embroidery. Ensure the shirt is turned inside out for washing and drying. If peeling has started, it is difficult to repair; refrain from pulling at it.
