FP rules, but you need some professional drycleaners to keep that shit from shrinking/falling apart. I learned to buy FP in the hugest size possible (before I even out on the pounds I have lately), because even without putting that shit in the dryer, it loses like 4" the first time you wash it! Nice colors, tho, and good contrast colors, which Izod and Polo don't really hook up...
Any one know about the polo w/ the Pot Leaf logo? It might have been named BOSE.
BOAST - and I used to have a couple of these, they were dope - except that the hippie trust fund kids kinda made it their style, so it was hard to rock with dignity...
I remember reading an interview with the head of the company years ago where he claimed it wasn't supposed to be a pot leaf...yeah, right...
I got a pocket full of B's, cocoa weed and ain't got no place to go tho' But all my Boca Boys they know though, that's fo' sho' doe (Are those Bugle Boy jeans you're wearin?) Hell nah hoe, you know they Polo's!
the Lacoste selection in the US is typically quite limited unless of course your at a Lacoste store. I gotta go with Polo cause of Trick's influence and its relatively less in the US
polo cuts their golf shirt extra long w/ the back longer than their front. It's what i call the American ass flap........I aint't with that. Paid lacoste to be da boss cuts theirs better........
vintage polo sizes are fucked. i'm swimming in a medium, and the 'shirttail' is just embarassing. never seen this problem with vintage lacoste. new polo sizes are way smaller and without the assflap.
it's frustrating that lacoste blew up, but their shit is defnitely superior. you can get 6 'authentics' for the price of one, so that may explain the popularity. the seasonal stuff is pricey, but you won't find any fakes of 'em.
to be honest, i don't remember. i saw them in a shop for $$$ and then ended getting them off ebay, only to find out the seller sold me the wrong size (right box, wrong shoe). ebay can be a real letdown sometimes. i've seen more recent pairs with a shiny white leather strip at the top of the heel, but they aren't as nice. keep digging.
let's be honest though...lacoste is just trendy. nobody was rocking that sh*t 5 years ago. the last time anybody wore an alligator it was called izod (don't front). polo has held it down consistently for awhile now....

That's maybe the case with mainstream US rap fashion but Lacoste has always been timeless in Europe. You could never and will newer go wrong with it. last time it became a bit trendy over here was around 96/97 if I remember right. But people "in the know" have rocked it before and after and still doing it.

Exactly..................Non trendy cats have worn Lacoste before its resurgence in the hipster/hiphop communities.
funny this came up, I was just at the polo outlet on friday. Literally everything was cut extra long......which was frustrating. IMO, both brands are classic and will never go out of mainstream style.
ps; there's way more fake lacoste online vs fake polo. Don't even bother w/ ebay, 99% of it is fake.

My co-worker was inquiring. He remembered the brand from the 80's. It also appeared in the CHRONIC video-letmeride.

Polo feels like sandpaper. Sorry folks.
Also known worldwide as a " shirt tail " - and my Lacoste shirts that have them as well...
