Quarter-Zip Down Pullover
About the original
The LACOSTE Puffy Half-Zip Pullover is an insulated sport pullover with a stand collar, half-zip placket, a kangaroo front pocket, and baffle-stitched synthetic-down panels across the chest, shoulders, and upper sleeves. LACOSTE was founded in 1933 by seven-time tennis Grand Slam champion Rene Lacoste in Paris and is credited with inventing the first embroidered-logo polo, the L.12.12 pique cotton shirt introduced in 1933. Lacoste's tennis-derived sportswear is the heritage the FW19 collab drew on, reworked with down fill and heavier fabrics for colder weather. The Supreme version carries the embroidered crocodile on the left chest alongside a co-branded Supreme tab and released in Supreme's FW19 apparel drop.
About LACOSTE
Lacoste S.A. is a French apparel company founded in 1933 by tennis champion Rene Lacoste and textile manufacturer Andre Gillier in Troyes. Lacoste designed the L.12.12 polo shirt in 1933 using petit pique cotton to replace the long-sleeved woven shirts worn on court, and the crocodile embroidered on its chest is considered the first visible logo on a consumer garment. The company expanded into footwear, fragrance, and leather goods, and its core tennis-adjacent sportswear remains in continuous production. Supreme and Lacoste have released multiple co-branded seasonal collections since 2017 spanning polos, track sets, and bags.
