    Lacoste polo shirts only have two buttons to begin with. If everything else about the polo shirt seems legit, there's a chance that your garment is genuine.

    Lacoste has historically worked with a Chinese factory before—seeing "Made in China" on the label doesn't mean that it's a fake.

    Some traders will try to sell a fake at a high price and then discount it. Price alone is not an indication.

    No, it should say El Salvador (though some rare polo shirts were made in France).

    Yes. The croc patch is always a separate embroidered emblem sewn on the fabric with a thin nylon thread on the outside and a color-matching cotton thread on the inside.

    Peru is okay but China is not - Lacoste manufacturers are in France, El Salvador and Peru. Many things have changed over the months––they make all colors of Croc logos now, some with no red mouth. "Devanly" is not on the tags anymore either. Check Lacoste.com and look at the logos yourself.
