Product Insights
Lacoste's Elaborate Knit Collar T-Shirt revives the brand's 1933 collar innovation, produced in limited batches at the revived Troyes atelier in France. The $115 price reflects hand-work in collar shaping and seam finishing, not just brand markup. Its seamless flat-knit collar holds shape longer and lays flat under outerwear, making it a sleek base layer. The classic fit is true to size, but the 100% cotton jersey shrinks 3–8% in length on warm wash, so size up if washing warm. Available in ivory, a warm off-white with cream undertones, this limited capsule piece is in stock but unlikely to be restocked.
Verified claims
- Heritage & craftsmanship
- References Lacoste's original 1933 collar innovation and is made in France at the brand's revived Troyes atelier.
- Exclusivity
- The collar is a flat or tubular knit rather than a standard 1x1 rib, giving a smoother, less textured neckline comparable to the refined minimalism of luxury tee specialists like Sunspel.
- Manufacturing heritage
- Limited batch from Lacoste's revived Troyes atelier (2018).
- Care
- Seamless flat-knit collar holds shape longer and lays flat under outerwear.
- Value
- The $115 price reflects more hand-work in collar shaping and seam finishing, not just brand markup.
- Made in France
- Made in France at Lacoste's Troyes atelier with elaborate knit collar.
- Fit
- Classic fit true to size, same as other Lacoste classic-fit tees.
- Shrinkage
- 100% cotton jersey shrinks 3–8% in length on warm wash; size up if washing warm.
- Limited availability
- Out of stock; limited capsule piece, unlikely to be restocked.
- Color
- Ivory is a warm off-white with cream undertones, not a bright white.
- Layering
- Flat, seamless collar creates a sleek base layer under blazers or sweaters.
- Care instructions
- Expect 3–8% length shrinkage if this cotton jersey tee is washed warm; machine wash cold, avoid fabric softener, and air dry flat to preserve fit and collar shape.
- Collar comfort
- The collar has a seamless neckline transition that eliminates the usual attached collar seam that can irritate.
- Le 31 capsule
- The 'Lacoste at Le 31' label indicates this tee was produced for Simons' premium menswear concept shop, not Lacoste's broader wholesale network.
