The classic crocodile is bigger than ever before with the Lacoste Large Crocodile polo shirt which now arrives at 80s Casual Classics for the summer months.
Who doesn't love a bit of Lacoste? The classic French sportswear brand has seen its fair share of crocodile appreciation over the years from centre court to the original Casuals. The celebrated crocodile logo just adds a certain panache to any garment. The French connection. The colourful & contemporary stores on the Costa's you might remember as a kid. There's just something about that embroidered crocodile on an exclusive colourway that we can't get enough of. Lacoste looks great no matter what the time of the year is, but come spring/summer time it's where it really shines. Like a pre-historic reptile that's been keeping a low profile in the swamps over the winter months. The crocodile comes out in full force when the suns out and what better way to make hay than the Lacoste Large Crocodile Polo Shirt. Bigger is better when it comes to the classic crocodile.

The origins of Lacoste go all the way back to the 1930s with the legendary French tennis player Ren_ Lacoste. The crocodile logo brand was named after Lacoste who was as elegant off the court, as much as he was a warrior on it. Lacoste soon joined an elite class of sporting individuals who earned a reputable nickname. Hollywood actors like Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood championed the whole preppy 'Ivy' look of the 1960s giving Lacoste a whole new elitist appeal. Moving into the late 1970s, the French sportswear brand quickly gained the attention of the Casuals with its colourful styles & expensive price tag. From the Parisian Banlieues of La Haine in the mid 90s to the early noughties indie brand revival, Lacoste has continued to remain a dressers fan favourite.
