What is the chest measurement for each size (S, L, XL) in inches or centimeters?

Based on Lacoste's standard size chart for sweatshirts, the chest measurements are: S (Lacoste size 3): 35–37 inches (89–94 cm), L (size 5): 41–43 inches (104–109 cm), XL (size 6): 44–46 inches (112–117 cm). Note that these are for classic fit; this sweatshirt has a loose fit, so you may find it slightly roomier.

What are the care instructions for this sweatshirt? Can it be machine washed or is dry cleaning recommended?

This sweatshirt should be machine washed at a maximum of 30°C on a very gentle setting. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or dry-clean. Iron at a low temperature (max 110°C) and line dry. These instructions are standard for Lacoste sweatshirts with similar fabric composition.

What is the approximate weight or thickness of this sweatshirt? Is it suitable for mild winters or more for layering?

This sweatshirt is described as having a 'thick structured jersey' with a terry-like bouclé outer texture, indicating it is substantial in weight. It is suitable as an outer layer for mild winters or for layering under a jacket in colder weather.

How does the 'terry-like bouclé' texture feel on the skin? Is it soft against bare arms or more like a textured sweater?

The bouclé texture is looped and slightly textured, providing a unique feel that is soft and comfortable against bare skin, not scratchy. It is more like a cozy, structured sweater than a smooth jersey.

Product Insights

Lacoste's Terry-Like Textured Sweatshirt is a bouclé-constructed heavy jersey that delivers a dressier, design-forward aesthetic with softness against bare skin, suitable as an outer layer for mild winters or for layering. Its loose fit allows sizing down, and the price at full retail ($240 CAD) competes with premium brands, while on sale ($149.95) it matches Reigning Champ but offers bouclé texture typical of $220–$300 knitwear, with a small tonal embroidered crocodile logo for heritage. The main tradeoff is machine washable on gentle cycle but requires line drying to preserve the texture.

Deep Research

How Lacoste's loose fit wears

Because the loose fit already adds generous ease through the chest and body, buyers can size down for a more contained fit without the garment becoming tight or uncomfortable, while staying true to size delivers the full oversized intention.

Value at this price point

The 'Lacoste at Le 31' capsule is a Simons-exclusive collection that normally commands a higher price than mainline Lacoste due to limited availability and elevated design; at $149.95 CAD on sale, this piece is priced within $10–$20 of standard Lacoste cotton crewnecks while delivering a run-exclusive fabric and tonal logo, effectively offering the exclusivity markup for free while the mainline basics remain at full price.
On sale at $149.95 CAD, it aligns almost exactly with the price of a standard heavyweight French terry crew from Reigning Champ ($130–$160 CAD), yet the Lacoste's bouclé outer texture and tonal croc logo offer a dressier, more design-forward aesthetic than Reigning Champ's athletic-focused minimalism, making it a compelling alternative for someone seeking a hybrid of sweatshirt comfort and sweater texture.
Bouclé — a looped yarn construction that yields a pebbled, sweater-like hand — is normally reserved for knitwear from Scottish and Nordic makers such as Howlin' and William Lockie, where similar pullovers start around $220–$300 CAD; Lacoste deploys the technique on a heavy jersey base at a price point roughly 40% lower, effectively bringing a premium textural experience into the sweatshirt category without the full knitwear markup.
At its full retail of $240 CAD, the sweatshirt is priced alongside cotton crews from Scandinavian minimalist brands like Acne Studios ($250–$350 CAD) and Norse Projects ($200–$280 CAD), both of which similarly emphasize fabric texture and subtle branding over logos; for buyers cross-shopping that elevated-basics segment, the Lacoste piece competes directly on material interest with the added recognition of its heritage branding.
