They rarely back it up, they just say it.
If they didn't have the little crocodiles on them, I don't think Lacoste would be able to get $70 for their "quality" shirts.
I agree, it is always funny how some will argue quality materials and what not till they are blue in the face if they are the ones paying the money...
if you truly want a quality polo then as I said either Brooks, Ben Silver, or even Talbots Men make far better shirts than Lacoste for less money on average...but it is about status and a bit of nostalgia as many remember the alligator from their youth when the products were more available at reasonable prices.
