French sportswear brand Lacoste and American-as-apple-pie J. Crew have collaborated on a spring 2015 polo shirt style for men, women and children that is being sold exclusively through the U.S. retailer.
The cotton polo shirts don´t look all that different from afar but can be easily differentiated by a notched crocodile logo that´s blue (instead of the more familiar green) and has “Lacoste” embroidered across it in a cursive font. It´s apparently an archival version of the logo from 1983, which we assume is a nod to the year J. Crew was founded.
The shirts also boast a notched “tennis tail” hem like some vintage versions and color choices include white, navy blue, burgundy, heather gray and persimmon orange.
Available now in 30 bricks-and-mortar stores nationwide (including the Grove location locally) as well as online, the polos retail for $55 (for a kids´ version) and $98 (men´s and women´s) with a poppable-collar one-piece for baby retailing for $75.
