I think it has to do with American vs. European sizing

Watch on for fake kids Lacoste on ebay. One way to tell without having to do too much research is if they offer an odd numbered size. Lacoste kids come in 2,4,6,8,etc. I have seen sellers selling 3's and 5's. FAKE!!!!! FYI, authentic kids Lacoste run very small. My 2 year old needed a size 4 and I only buy them from Nordstrom or Neimans.

Good job!
Just to let you know, my shirt doesn't have the extra tag underneath the "LACOSTE" one, the one that says "Designed in France" etc.
But it is authentic, because I purchased it from a Lacoste boutique!

that is not necessarily true, cuz fake lacoste are pretty easy to be detected in person. cuz one obvious difference is the placement of the crocodile. second, when you look at the collar, you can see that the fake collar is so much thinner

well i dono about you, but i wouldn't want to have anything to do with fake stuff, cuz it's embarrassing being caught waering a fake lacoste. i rather buy and wear non-brand clothes than buying fake replica of name brand clothes

Don't rely just on croc placement when authenticating Lacoste. Eventually, counterfitters will begin placing the croc in the right spot.

wow, it's been a while since anyone has posted in this thread, so hopefully someone can help me? =)

i got this lacoste polo... and hence, the million dollar question: is this authentic?
here are some pictures:

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...heese/logo.jpg
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...heese/tag3.jpg
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...heese/tag2.jpg
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...heese/tag1.jpg

The alligator seems to be missing some teeth -- so I was wondering/thinking that maybe a thread came undone there somehow? o_O lol

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

...not all of them do. The shirts I bought from Lacoste while I was in Paris that don't have the tag underneath, but all of the ones that I've bought here in the US have that extra tag.
