Specification Do you know Rene Lacoste?

Rene Lacoste, who created the famous "crocodile" polo shirt, was a world tennis champion who won seven Grand Slam titles!
Lacoste was forced to suddenly retire at the age of 25 due to tuberculosis, and spent the rest of his life fighting off the court.
He "invented" the short-sleeved polo shirt with a single point on the chest,
Freeing tennis wear from various restrictions and preconceived notions,
It has also become a champion as a functional sportswear brand.
Furthermore, as an inventor, he has invented a number of things, including an automatic tennis ball dispenser, metal rackets, and golf putters.
He obtained one patent after another, and together with his wife, who was an exceptional golfer, he dedicated his life to tennis and golf.
His extraordinary and vivid 92-year life, during which he stuck to the "attacking style" he acquired through sports,
A definitive critical biography featuring abundant photographic material and valuable testimonies from those involved.
Lots of illustrations and photographs.
This beautifully visual book traces styles from the early 20th century in fashion, tennis, golf, cars and more.
The original book was published to commemorate the 85th anniversary of the brand's founding. The Japanese version will be published this year, the 90th anniversary.
