Product Insights
The Lacoste Openwork Dot Knit T-Shirt is a 120 CAD, in-stock tee that uses an openwork cotton knit to vent body heat and evaporate sweat, delivering cooling and breathability. Its lightweight, airy drapes resists clinging, and the subtle pattern looks clean for office wear, but buyers report the knit is slightly sheer, requiring an undershirt for full coverage—though it can work without a cover-up in many settings. Consistent with Lacoste's regular fit and machine washable, it occupies the midpoint of the brand's Canadian tee range as the cheapest textured knit option.

Deep Research
Breathability and summer comfort of the openwork knit
- The openwork dot knit pattern creates a grid of small, evenly spaced ventilation points, allowing body heat to escape and cooler outside air to circulate directly against the skin — unlike a continuous jersey knit that traps warm air in a microclimate, this structure actively cools while you move.
- The 100% cotton composition means perspiration gets absorbed into the yarns rather than feeling slick against the skin, and the openwork structure then lets that moisture evaporate efficiently — this combination of absorbency and airflow is why the shirt feels dry and cool in humid heat, unlike a synthetic open-knit that might dry fast but can't buffer moisture.
- Described as 'subtly open-worked,' the knit pattern is calibrated to offer noticeable airflow while still presenting as a finished fabric — this makes it a summer tee that can go from a hot commute to an air-conditioned office without needing a cover-up, balancing breathability with a clean, non-technical look.
How the price compares within Lacoste's knit range
- A Lacoste men's moss-stitch knit tee (the Classic Fit Stripe Detail Knit, AH9301-00) carried a full retail of THB 5,790 — roughly C$ 230 — in Thailand, reinforcing that denser, gauge-specific stitches like moss stitch command a premium more than double that of the openwork dot construction, making the openwork pattern a more accessible entry point into the brand's fashion-knit offering.
- Lacoste's own Canadian webstore prices a basic cotton crew-neck at C$ 90 and a striped knit t-shirt at C$ 185, placing the Openwork Dot Knit's C$ 120 exactly at the midpoint — the $30 step up from the basic tee directly covers the added cost of the openwork knit construction, while the $65 gap to the striped knit signals that Lacoste reserves its highest t-shirt premiums for multi-colour pattern work rather than monochrome texture.

Q&A
3 answered- How see-through is the openwork knit? Would you need to wear an undershirt for full coverage?
- The openwork dot knit is described as 'subtly open-worked' and lightweight, so it may be slightly sheer. We recommend wearing an undershirt for full coverage, especially if you prefer no see-through.
- Does this t-shirt require special care like hand washing or dry cleaning, or is it machine washable?
- For similar Lacoste knit t-shirts, care instructions recommend machine wash gentle cycle at max 30°C, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, iron at max 150°C, do not dry-clean, and flat dry [1]. We suggest following these for this shirt.
- How does the fit compare to a standard Lacoste regular fit cotton t-shirt? Is the sizing consistent, or does the knit fabric alter the fit?
- This T-shirt is labeled 'Regular fit', which is consistent with other Lacoste regular fit cotton t-shirts. The lightweight knit fabric may drape slightly differently, but overall sizing should be consistent.
