I love it, and my hubby loves it. Had to process return but it as seamless. I love Zappos. I would be a frequent shopper here now.

I was very happy with the shirt but also with the service and this was my first time ordering from Zappos and the overnight shipping was great, as was the customer service when I had to exchange the shirt for another size. I will be a Zappos customer again!

This polo is simply the best. It is really comfortable. It shrinks a tad bit when you wash it so you might want to order a size larger. Make sure you do not put it in the dryer because it will shrink a lot.

Lacoste quality not what it once was. Sizing is different than years past, and the cotton is no where near as high quality. This shirt pits very easily and stretches out. I have tried unsuccessfully to replace some of my 6-7 year old Lacoste Polos and all the new ones just do not compare. Colors fade, they stretch out, etc. Even stranger is that despite everything being 100% cotton there are clearly material differences for different colors. The textures and weight are different and they are clearly of different qualities. Very disappointing for a shirt that costs this much. Look elsewhere.

About Lacoste
René Lacoste entered the legend of tennis when he and his team-mates "The Musketeers", stole the Davis Cup away from the Americans for the first time, in 1927. Not forgetting his 3 French Open victories (1925, 1927 and the Roland-Garros stadium in 1929), his two victories in Great Britain (Wimbledon 1925 and 1928) and two U.S. Open titles at Forest Hills (1926 and 1927).
René Lacoste was born in France on July 2nd, 1904 and died on October 12th, 1996. The true story of the "Crocodile" begins in 1927. René Lacoste liked to recount how his nickname became an emblem recognized throughout the world.
"I was nicknamed "the Alligator" by the American press, after I made a bet with the Captain of the French Davis Cup Team concerning a suitcase made from crocodile skin. He promised to buy it for me if I won a very important match for our team. The public must have been fond of this nickname which conveyed the tenacity I displayed on the tennis courts, never letting go of my prey! So my friend Robert George drew a 'crocodile', which I then had embroidered on the blazer I wore on the courts."
An attentive spectator at René Lacoste’s Davis Cup matches was the winner of the British Women’s golf title, Mademoiselle Simone Thion de la Chaume, who soon became his wife and constant support.
In 1933, René Lacoste and André Gillier, the owner and President of the largest French knitwear manufacturing firm of that time, set up a company to manufacture the logo-embroidered shirt. The champion had designed this for his own use on the tennis court, as well as a number of other shirts for tennis, golf and sailing - as can be seen in the first catalogue, produced in 1933.
To the best of our knowledge, this was the first time that a brand name appeared on the outside of an article of clothing - an idea which has since become extremely successful.
This shirt revolutionized men’s sportswear and replaced the woven fabric, long-sleeved, starched classic shirts. The first Lacoste shirt was white, slightly shorter than its counterparts, had a ribbed collar, short sleeves with ribbed bands and was made of a light knitted fabric called "Jersey petit piqué".
Today, it continues to offer the same quality, comfort and solidity on which it built its name and which constitutes its uniqueness.
As an enduring legacy, the Lacoste brand has widely expanded over the years. Its famous crocodile emblem can now be seen on shoes, eyewear, watches, bedding, bath towels, bags, accessories, kid's shoes, as well as apparel.

Great shirt, true to fit, looks great and is comfortable. I only gave it 4 stars overall because even though it is a great shirt not being able to just wash and pop it in the dryer is a drawback.

To avoid shrinkage: wash cold, regardless of what care instructions say, and do not tumble dry.

I purchased this polo for my dad. These polos are classic, you can't go wrong with them. A little pricey but well worth it. It's essential to have one or two of these in your closet if you like polos. I own one of these and my first one stretched out after more than 2 years...not bad at all. Zappos service was excellent as usual. Thank you Zappos!

This is my second attempt at Lacoste Polos. Both shrunk after the first wash after following the care instructions on the label. I'm sending it back, poor quality. You're paying for the little green alligator I'm afraid.

Can you say shrink?! Washed it once - shrunk two sizes and looks like it's two years old. Major disappointment.

We love lacoste products so I was happy to see that my favorite site carried the brand. The shirt is a classic. If you like to put your polos in the dryer, I suggest ordering one size up, as they shrink a size.
