Several currently on sale at Saks. Some light, pastel-like solid colors at US$45 (down from US$75) and the vintage washed version is US$53, down from US$88. If you get one of the vintage shirts, go down one size because they are enormous. There are stripes and long sleeves and sweaters on sale at Saks as well. Try the link below or just go to Saks.com.
By the way, Lacoste quality has deteriorated and their style/shape seems a bit off. The collars that were stiff enough to stand straight up in the preppy hayday are now too thin/weak to do so. Not that anyone does that anymore, but they collars don't lay as nicely. The shape is rather full, especially at the hem; it's almost like a bell shape. They're certainly not trim or fitted. The hem no longer has the tennis tail (well, the womens version does, but not the mens). Instead, it has a t-shirt hem with a small notch cutout that serves no purpose that I can tell.
Too bad, IMO, because I was drawn to the traditional and perhaps historic look. Now I have moved on to look for alternatives. J Crew's vintage polos are slim/trim/fitted. Granted, much of J Crew's quality has diminished in recent years, but they shirts were cheap at 2 for US$60. They fitt better than the Lacoste, without the gator logo, for half the price.
