POLO SHIRTS: LACOSTE or FRED PERRY

[MD888]

Hi everyone! I am bringing back this thread because it might prove to be useful to me. As of their current quality of polos, which is better among the two?

I can personally tell that Lacoste fabrics are softer than the one used sa Fred Perry. I also know that Lacostes can be a bit loose (if classic fit) and the Fred Perry can be a bit more fitted.
Pero, ano yung mas matibay at tatagal? Please consider both lines of Fred Perry (Made in England and Made in China), plus the usual Lacoste lineup (Made in China/Vietnam).

If you want, go ahead and rank them. But more importantly, please do explain why. Thanks in advance!

I like Lacoste on men. My Dad's been wearing it since the 80s :bwahaha: Why not try other classic brands as well?

I wonder what happened to the Sergio Tacchini brand. My Dad used to wear that a lot too.

I have more Lacoste shirts, but recently I've developed a fondness for Fred Perry.

I agree with your observations - Lacoste shirts feel thinner, and fit is generally inferior to Fred Perry (although Lacoste slim fit is good enough).

Fred Perry shirts are more expensive though, 4k-ish compared to 3k-ish for Lacoste. Thing is, there aren't that many nice Fred Perry color combos. Once I collect the classic colors, I'd probably go back to Lacoste since they have a wider selection of nice designs.

Go for Lacoste for their sense of corporate social responsibility. They are financing a crocodile farm somewhere in Mindanao (buti not some place along Batasan). Michel Lacoste, a descendant of Rene Lacoste, visited the place 3 years ago.

Naalala ko lang nung nasa Saudi pa ako, mga Pinoy naka-orig na Lacoste tapos yung mga kasama naming Bitoy (Brits) mga fake galing Thailand yung suot, pero di pa rin paniwalaan yung mga Pinoy. hahaha

Even myself i can't tell the difference between a fake and orig. Halos lacoste ang t-shirt ko nung nasa thailand ako. Parehong-pareho yung tinda sa mall at sa baiyoke.
Actually buhay pa yung iba after more than 10 years!

Kahit nakalacoste naman, kung hindi marunong magdala yung nagsusuot, wala rin.

PENGUIN for me, para maiba naman...

[chua_riwap]

Nakakainis lang. Habang lumalaki yung buwaya, tumataas din ang presyo.

I also have a couple of custom fit RL shirts na binili sa HKG airport. Yung mga may numbers sa sleeves. Ganda!

Then minsan, pasyal ako SM Makati, meron din sila, parehong-pareho, sa orig.Langya....P450 lang.

[jut703]

Nauso yang RL na may number dahil sa eat bulaga a few years back, sila tito vic and joey puro ganyan suot. Tapos nagkalat bigla sa greenhills haha.

Very true, quiet cheap sa manila duty free. I am buwaya fan since 20yrs back. Reminds me of our politicians. Penguin was famous in the 60's while Fred Perry in the 70's. Tommy lakas magfade ng colors.

Each visit to the US, raid agad sa mga outlets where the all the brands mentioned above, and more, are selling at $20 or less. The only catch,they are at least a season old. :D
