player because he was started to wear his own tailored

In 1926, Rene Lacoste has got two major victories one is tennis and another
is fashion. At the time when Rene won U.S open championship he was wearing

short-sleeves, and that was the moment when Lacoste starts to built its name
in fashion lines, after that in 1927 in the mid continuity of Davis Cup
press passionately nicked name Rene Lacoste as "the Alligator" because of
bet made for an alligator-skin suitcase. The nickname for Rene stuck him in
the courts because wowing is never giving up hi prey. Then Lacoste's friend
drew him a crocodile which was them embroiled on his shirt which he wears in
the courts. After retirement of Rene Lacoste from tennis he founded La
Societe Chemise Lacoste with Andre Gillier, who was the owner and president
of the largest French knitwear manufacturing firm at that time and they
started to produce
