Product Insights
The Ribbed Block Polo is a modern, exclusive reinterpretation of Lacoste's classic polo, available only at Simons. Its subtle vertical ribbing and stretch jersey fabric replace the traditional piqué, offering a lightweight, shape-retaining texture with a soft drape and relaxed silhouette. The ribbed collar prevents distortion after washing, while the low-contrast tonal crocodile logo maintains brand heritage. Priced at CAD 205, this limited capsule piece bridges casual and smart-casual dressing, serving as a versatile layering option under blazers, but comes at a premium and is intentionally looser than the iconic L.12.12 fit.

A ribbed polo worn tucked into trousers

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Ribbed Block Polo: Choose this if you want a modern take on Lacoste's signature polo, created especially for Simons, with a distinctive vertical ribbed knit that adds depth and structure while keeping a lightweight, breathable feel. It offers a regular fit, a two-button placket, a tonal embroidered crocodile patch on the left chest, and stretch cotton jersey construction (85% cotton, 15% spandex). Note the listing pairs the White colorway with sizes Small, Medium, Large, and XX-Large, with no other size listed.[1,2,4] | Piqué Croc Polo Classic Fit: Choose this if you want a classic-fit Lacoste polo in very comfortable 100% cotton piqué knit, with a two-button placket, short ribbed-cuffed sleeves, and the brand's embroidered crocodile logo on the left chest. It comes in many colorways, from Black and White to Golden Yellow, in sizes Small through XX-Large (the Black and Golden Yellow colorways span that full size range per the listing). Note the rib is a cotton-elastane blend (99% cotton, 1% elastane), though the page does not specify which garment parts it applies to.[5,6] | Exclusive Striped-Collar Jersey Polo Regular Fit: Choose this if you want a Simons-exclusive take on Lacoste's signature polo, with a contrasting striped two-button collar, embroidered crocodile logo, and superior-quality 100% pima cotton interlock jersey that reviewers describe as soft and comfortable for all-day wear and versatile enough for golf, dinners, or casual Fridays. It comes in a regular fit that the analysis says runs true to size for most, but those who prefer a looser cut may find it snug through the chest, so sizing up is advised for a roomier feel. Colors include Black, Charcoal, Sand, Green, Navy/Midnight Blue, Baby Blue, and Red, in sizes Small through XX-Large (though the listed variant data shows no Green Small).[7] |
