One of the best places I’ve found to buy vintage Lacoste is on Etsy. Just type the term “Vintage Lacoste” into the search box, and you will find a lot of reasonably-priced items for sale. Remember, before you buy, it’s important to check for whether the items for sale are counterfeit or not. Luckily, most of the items shown on Etsy, show enough photos for you to make some basic checks before you buy. In particular, most of the listings show good views of the logo, which is one of the easiest ways to check for fake merchandise. So, good hunting!

“I played him once I think since I changed to Lacoste from Uniqlo, so I think Uniqlo was the key of the success. That was a very bad joke. Yeah, it’s 1am, guys. I’m sorry. I’m just trying to make this interesting.”
