DURING THE EARLY 1930S, RENÉ LACOSTE SEARCHED FOR THE IDEAL FABRIC TO GIVE TENNIS PLAYERS GREATER FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT. IN COLLABORATION WITH ANDRÉ GILLIER, THE WELL-KNOWN KNITWEAR EXPERT, HE INVENTED THE FAMOUS PIQUÉ COTTON – A DURABLE YET LIGHTWEIGHT AND BREATHABLE OPEN-WEAVE. SINCE THEN, THE PIQUÉ HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY UPDATED AND REVISITED, ALL THE WHILE MAINTAINING ITS ORIGINAL QUALITIES.

 

 

 

THE LACOSTE SIGNATURE-STYLE POLO SHIRT FABRIC IS MADE WITH A COMFORTABLE YET ELEGANT TEXTURIZED COTTON THAT’S ALSO DURABLE AND COMES IN MANY COLOURS.

JERSEY IS A SMOOTH, SUPPLE FABRIC THAT’S LIGHTWEIGHT AND SLIGHTLY STRETCHY, MAKING IT EXTRA ENJOYABLE TO WEAR AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO WRINKLE. 

MADE WITH ALL-NATURAL FIBERS, OUR COTTON FABRICS PROVIDE BOTH COMFORT AND VENTILATION. IT IS VERY DURABLE AS WELL.

COMBINED WITH THE PIQUÉ WEAVE, THE STRETCH FABRIC MAKES THE POLO SHIRT MORE ELASTIC, FACILITATING MOVEMENT AND INCREASING THE COMFORT LEVEL. IT ALSO GIVES THE SHIRTS A TAILORED STYLE.

A PERMANENT TREATMENT OF THE FIBERS MAKES THE FABRIC ULTRA-HIGH-PERFORMANCE AND ENSURES PERFECT VENTILATION FOR QUICK EVAPORATION OF PERSPIRATION. THIS FABRIC IS ALSO QUICK-DRYING FOR ADDED CONVENIENCE.
