Lacoste: The Alligator's Back in Style
Named for designer and French tennis player René Lacoste, the brand inadvertently launched when he wore one of his own unique, white jersey petit piqué knit shirts to the 1926 US Open-and won. Lacoste was dubbed "the Alligator" by the American press after rumors surfaced regarding a wager with the captain of the French Davis Cup Team involving a suitcase made of alligator skin. According to Lacoste, the nickname stuck because it "conveyed the tenacity I displayed on the tennis courts, never letting go of my prey!" He had a friend draw a crocodile, which was promptly embroidered onto the blazers he wore while on court. The crocodile emblem eventually became the rave of elite tennis fans everywhere. In 1933, Lacoste launched his brand, La Societe Chemise Lacoste, with partner André Gillier, president of one of the largest French knitwear manufacturing companies of the time. Together they produced the breathable knit tennis shirts Lacoste designed, complete with the crocodile logo prominently displayed on the chest. Lacoste and Gillier went on to produce golf and sailing clothing as well as tennis shirts. In the early fifties, they introduced the items in a variety of colors and began exporting Lacoste to the US, positioning their brand as a luxury sport must-have. The strategy paid off.

Chemise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Etymology Chemise is a French term (which today simply means shirt ). This is a cognate of the Italian word camicia, and the Spanish / Portuguese word camisa (subsequently borrowed by Hindi / Urdu ), all deriving ultimately from the Latin camisia. The English called the same shirt a smock and the Irish called it a léine ( pronounced /ˈleɪnjə/ ). The history of the chemise The chemise seems to have been developed from the Roman tunica and first became popular in the European Middle Ages. Women wore shifts or chemises underneath their gowns or robes ; men wore chemises with their trousers or braies, and covered the chemises with garments such as doublets, robes, etc. In those times, it was usually the only piece of clothing that was washed regularly. In Western countries, women's shifts did not fall out of fashion until the early 20th century, when they were generally replaced by brassieres, panties, girdles, and full slips. Men's chemises may be said to survive as the common T-shirt, which still serves as an undergarment. The chemise also morphed into the smock-frock, a garment worn by English laborers until the early 20th century. Its loose cut and wide sleeves were well adapted to heavy labor.
