Lacoste on Kakobuy Spreadsheet

This grid is small, so here is what is in it: the basic polo, a few tees, a backpack and shoulder bags, a wallet and a bracelet. The crocodile patch is the only branding and it is a dense little embroidery with a lot of shape in a small area — the jaw, the tail and the ridge along the back should all be distinct. A crocodile that has gone blobby is the standard tell.

On the polo itself, the fabric is a piqué knit with a visible waffle texture, and that texture is what stops the shirt looking like a plain jersey tee with a collar. Look for the grain in a close photo, and check the collar: it should be a separately knitted piece with its own ribbing that holds a shape, since a limp collar is what ages this garment fastest. Fit is classic and slightly slim, so size up if you want it relaxed. USD prices throughout. Everything else is on the Kakobuy Spreadsheet.
