Lacoste Polo Shirt v Ralph Lauren Polo Shirt
The race is on to find the world’s finest polo shirt! After exhaustive research a short list of top polo shirt labels has been compiled. The top labels include: D&G, Burberry, Fred Perry, Hugo Boss, Penguin, Ben Sherman, YSL Rive Gauche and Versace, but it will be no surprise to know Lacoste and Ralph Lauren came out on top.
The Lacoste Polo Shirt and the Ralph Lauren Polo Shirt are both classics in their own right. Each label is synonymous with smart-casual style and each has an illustrious and enviable history to back up its claim to be the finest polo shirt designer in the world. So which label takes the crown in this online poll? The poll was very tight but Ralph Lauren shaved it by the slimmest of possible margins. In fact the margin was so slim, it was albeit a dead heat for pole position.

Lacoste wins by a landslide. He made his shirt for a sport, Tennis. The logo was a lark as he had made a bet to win a crocodile suitcase if he won a tennis match. I am not sure of the history of the Ralph Lauren Polo exceot that Lacoste created his design first.

ralph lauren has much better quality and a better fit unlike lacoste. lacoste has huge sizes for beasts to wear and not small, slim sizes at all. Where as ralph lauren has options such as custom fit and classic fit and immense quality.

I have loads of polos’s i prefer the fit of ralph lauren shirts to be honest. But better than both those brands is penguin by munsingwear they fit so well and come in wicked good styles. Fred perry also makes nice polos with a tight fittting chest and ribbed openings to the arms, look much better. Im surprise abercrombie and fith nev er got a mention they make some nice polo’s!

In fact both Lacoste & RL Polo my fav shirt brand. If you want me to choose only one, I would prefer Lacoste. I do not agree hamar that Lacoste doesn’t comes with slim fit, it has now if you check your local store properly. I do not sell garment so I might not be able to judge which one has better cotton quality. But if you were to do a comparison, put them side by side, you can see that both Lacoste & RL polo shirt has its own class of material. Personally I like Lacoste pearl button, look stylish and young which suits young man like me.

I prefer La Coste, simply over these factors: material wise, the logo (prefer crocodile than a horse), the collar, the comfort and fit of the shirt, various trendy colors..and is stands for young, coolness, style and luxury,,,, i like ralph also, but prefer La Coste

Having both, RL and Lacoste polos, I can say that the quality of the cotton is far better in my Lacoste polos, but I love the colors that RL has. Lacoste fits me better, but I guess that depends on each person.

ralf is much better, allways keeps its shape, where as lacoste looses shape n looks old after little wile. lacoste polo tops are too thin, feels cheepy, not as good quality

yeh i agree with you jack, lacoste is a good brand but its a shame that every single person in the world wears it, its not exculsive and doesnt make you feel special

I love both polo brands but I have to say the quality of lacoste is better but the price is not. I only own 2 lacoste polo’s and 1 lacoste dressed up shirt that I got on sale, and about 10 ralph lauren polos and other ralph lauren clothing. So Overall, I would have to say the quality of lacoste is better than ralph lauren, but the price is not

i don’t like lacoste polo shirts. i MUCH prefer Ralph Lauren, they’re more comfortable and nicely fitting.

Definately prefer Lacoste over RL, I own a lot of both and RL has a better fit but Lacoste feels a lot more luxurious and as someone said earlier that Lacoste loses its shape and looks ratty afetr washing that’s not true I bought my first Lacoste polo over a year ago and it still fits me fine and looks the same as the new ones I own so sorry but I’d have to disagree on that point but still I have nothing against RL as it’s still a great company… just saying that I would prefer Lacoste.

Polo is like Mercedes, Lacoste like BMW. One is classic luxury, timeless, made with the finest materials, and is priced at the top of its market. The other is sporty, “younger”, “hipper”. Also made with excellent materials, and also costing a lot. Both are awesome.

All our Lacoste stock is made in France in the original textile region (although now a different factory…the ‘Devanlay’ factory in France), then you will see that they are *FAR* better quality than the ‘Designed in France Made in Peru’ (Devanlay factory in Peru) stock that the USA mostly gets. Even they are great quality, and certainly better than the Izod licensed stuff the USA used to get. But the French stuff from a France or UK official Lacoste boutique is the business!!! It beats Ralph hands down. Lacost have more history…heck Rene Lacoste invented the damn polo shirt! They do also now make a ‘custom fit’ Italian made polo for £5 more (£60 as opposed to £55) and even a slim-fit stretch (10% lycra type material) that cost a whopping £80 each. The striped polos go for £80-£100 that’s $160-$200 folks. We can buy Ralph’s for £45-£50, £60 for stripes. And the quality is the reason for this difference between Lacoste and Ralphs. A Ralph Lauren ‘Polo’, polo shirt is a poor man’s Lacoste…..but still a nice shirt.

Ralph Lauren is the best !

I think both brands are magnificent. But I’d say that Lacoste would be a great choice if you wanted a lasting polo. But if you want different colours, then choose Ralph Lauren. It all depends what you are going to assorize with and the comfort.
