Lacoste clothing
A famous French tennis player René Lacoste became famous in tennis and fashion at the same time. On the 1926 U.S. Open tennis championship, Rene Lacoste was wearing a white, short-sleeve shirt made by himself exclusively of a light knitted fabric ‘jersey petit piqué’ . This fabric was good to wick away moisture and this tennis shirt became the very first version of Lacoste sports clothing. The shirt was a big step forward in tennis fashion of those days.

During the Davis Cup of 1927, the newspapers named Lacoste "the Alligator" because of a bet he made about an alligator-skin suitcase and that is how the alligator logo appeared. In 1933, when Lacoste left tennis, he founded a company "La Societe Chemise Lacoste"  with André Gillier, the president of the largest knittwear producing company. From this time the revolutionary tennis shirt Lacoste went into production. In addition to tennis shirts, Lacoste clothing was also presented by shirts for golf and sailing. Today Lacoste produces clothing items of any kind including shoes, hats skirts, accessories and more.
