Looking at Lacoste polos - can anyone testify to their fit?

Definitely wonky fit - has to be tried on before you jump on it. I'm also a size 2 / XXS but wear a size S - M regularly. Most of the time I can't even find size 2's, the smallest they have is 3 which is far too baggy/loose for my tastes.

I wouldn't say they're terrible for the $70-80 they go for, but better alternatives exist for a slim fitting polo

it was weird the white i polo i got was slightly larger than the black even after it went through the dryer
the sleeves arent very fitted, its strange


Weird, all the Brooks polos I tried on had this same effect. Black was much smaller, fit better than white. Wonder why?

I think it has something to do with the dye process... dark dyes tend to shrink a little more, at least that's what a sales rep told me once.
