Lacoste Sweatshirts & Quarter-Zip Pullovers Quality Control Report
This comprehensive QC analysis examines Lacoste's premium sweatshirts and quarter-zip pullovers, focusing on construction quality, material authenticity, and finishing details that distinguish genuine Lacoste products from replicas.
Material and Construction Assessment
The primary fabric should be heavyweight French terry cotton or cotton-polyester blends with substantial weight (280-320 GSM). Check for consistent brushing on the interior for softness without excessive pilling. Quarter-zip models must feature smooth YKK zippers with Lacoste branding on the pull tab. Seams should be flatlock stitched throughout with reinforced stress points at shoulders and armholes.
Branding and Logo Verification
The iconic crocodile embroidery requires meticulous inspection:
- Embroidery should be dense with 8,000-12,000 stitches
- Crocodile proportions: head-to-tail ratio approximately 1:2.5
- Thread color must match exactly to garment color specifications
- No loose threads or puckering around embroidery perimeter
Neck labels must feature precise font kerning with "Lacoste" in the distinctive green color. Care tags should include proper RN/CA numbers and French/English washing instructions.
Sizing and Fit Consistency
Measure flat garment dimensions against Lacoste's size charts. Key measurements include:
- Chest width (armpit to armpit) ×2
- Body length (shoulder to hem)
- Sleeve length (shoulder seam to cuff)
Quarter-zip models should maintain consistent collar height when zipped. All cuffs and waistbands must exhibit uniform elasticity without overstretching or sagging.
Final Quality Assessment
Inspect for manufacturing defects including uneven dye, fabric flaws, or misaligned patterns. Verify all buttons are securely attached with proper thread matching. Packaging should include authentic Lacoste tags with correct style codes and holographic authentication elements where applicable.
