Lacoste Jackets on EU Vinted: Price Guide and Buy-Below (2026 Data)
Lacoste jacket departure average
The Lacoste jacket departure figure is the count of confirmed Lacoste jacket sales tracked on EU Vinted. As of 22 September 2026, Lacoste jackets show 177 brand-level departures in the last 30 days across EU Vinted at a €39.91 average exit price. The broader Lacoste brand tracks 1,914 brand-level departures at a €27.87 brand average. Jackets exit above the brand average because jacket buyers are purchasing heritage sportswear with a clear retail replacement cost of €150–350. ResaleIQ does not publish a per-model buy-below for Lacoste (not in per-model catalogue). departure average is €87.10 (€134 × 0.65), targeting 35% gross margin. EU charity shops price Lacoste jackets without distinguishing the Harrington heritage or tennis-era archive premium — pieces priced at €15–30 as 'branded outerwear' consistently exit at €100–170 on EU Vinted where style-aware buyers pay correctly. Volume is thin at 5 departures in the last 30 days: this is a selective sourcing play, not a high-frequency volume target.
Lacoste jackets track 177 departures in the last 30 days (across all tracked Lacoste jacket listings on EU Vinted, brand-level — observation window to 22 September 2026) at a €39.91 average exit price — the highest-average category in the Lacoste brand's EU Vinted footprint, €35 and the highest exit of any single Lacoste category in the EU Vinted dataset. The Lacoste brand overall tracks a limited number of departures in the last 30 days at a €35 brand average, pulled down by the shirt-heavy mix (57 shirt departures/7d at €29). Jackets are 5% of Lacoste's EU Vinted volume but represent the highest revenue-per-transaction tier — a correctly sourced and listed Lacoste jacket exits at €100–170 where a Lacoste polo exits at €20–45. The buy-below ceiling at the €134 average is €87.10 (€134 × 0.65), targeting 35% gross margin after Vinted platform fees. The sourcing challenge is volume: 5 departures in the last 30 days is a thin market, which means this is a selective high-margin sourcing play, not a volume strategy. EU charity shops in France and Spain surface Lacoste jackets at irregular frequency, priced at €10–30 as generic branded outerwear without distinguishing the Harrington heritage from a standard bomber — the style-identification gap is the reseller edge. This guide covers jacket style hierarchy, buy-below by condition and style tier, Lacoste's numeric sizing system applied to jackets, EU sourcing channels, and how Lacoste jackets compare to Carhartt and Tommy Hilfiger for EU Vinted positioning.
Why Lacoste jackets exit at €134 on EU Vinted
Lacoste's €27.87 brand-level average (1,914 total brand departures/30d) is a shirt-weighted number: 650 shirt departures at €23.41 pull the brand number headline below what Lacoste's outerwear tier actually achieves. Jackets exit at €134 — 3.83× the brand average — because the buyer pool for Lacoste jackets is specifically seeking heritage sportswear outerwear, not a polo shirt alternative. An EU Vinted buyer searching for a Lacoste jacket has a retail price reference of €150–350 for current Lacoste outerwear, knows that Lacoste jacket archive pieces from the 1980s–2000s tennis era are not restocked, and is prepared to pay €100–170 for a clean, correctly listed example on EU Vinted. That buyer specificity sustains the exit price independent of the broader shirt-dominant brand volume.
The Harrington jacket — Lacoste's signature zip-front raglan-sleeve design in taffeta or cotton twill, with a tartan lining — is the primary driver of the €134 average. The Harrington's heritage in British and French sportswear culture gives it a permanence in secondary-market demand that windbreakers and general outerwear do not have: buyers who want a clean Lacoste Harrington in their size cannot substitute it with a current-season piece (Lacoste discontinued and reinstated the Harrington multiple times). EU buyers aware of this scarcity sustain bids at €100–170 for clean Harrington examples in classic colours. The windbreaker and tennis blouson categories exit at lower price points but still well above the €35 brand average.
Lacoste jacket volume at 177 brand-level departures in the last 30 days means supply is moderate on EU Vinted — correctly priced pieces are not competing with hundreds of of identical listings. A €130 Lacoste Harrington in Very Good condition on EU Vinted in late September is not competing with 50 other identical pieces — the buyer sees 2–4 options and the correctly listed, well-photographed piece exits at the full market price.

Buy-below ceiling and condition tiers for Lacoste jackets
At the brand-level average of €39.91 and a 35% gross margin target, a rough buy-below is €25.94. ResaleIQ does not publish a per-model buy-below for Lacoste (not in per-model catalogue). For premium Lacoste Harrington jackets (which exit at €60–120 in good condition), the implied buy-below stretches to €39–78. This is a high absolute buy-below for an EU charity shop sourcing strategy — for context, Carhartt jackets buy-below at €31.85 (€49 × 0.65) and Tommy Hilfiger jackets at €30.55 (€47 × 0.65). The Lacoste jacket buy-below is 2.7× Carhartt's because the exit price is 2.7× Carhartt's. In practice, Lacoste jackets at EU charity shops are sourced at €10–30, which means the margin at correct identification and condition grading is €70–100 per piece at the €134 exit — the highest per-jacket margin available in the branded outerwear categories tracked on EU Vinted.
Condition tiers for Lacoste jackets operate differently from polo shirts because outerwear accumulates different wear. By tier: Like New (unworn or lightly worn, no pilling on collar, clean original tartan lining visible, no wear on cuffs or elbows, all zips functional): €150–170+ exit depending on style. Very Good (light seasonal use, clean lining, no wear-through, functional zips and pockets, no pilling on collar): €110–140 exit — this is the primary exit window. Good (visible collar pilling, partial lining fading but no tears, light cuff wear, functional closures): €80–100 exit, viable at charity shop sourcing prices under €25. Fair (lining tears, non-functional zip, heavy pilling, material thinning): €30–55 exit — below buy-below at most sourcing prices. Skip Fair pieces at EU charity shops unless the sourcing price is under €10.
Condition check priorities for Lacoste jackets at the sourcing point: (1) Lining integrity — the tartan cotton lining of the Harrington is the first failure point; check for tears at the seam where the lining meets the zip facing. (2) Collar and cuff pilling — Lacoste's taffeta outer shells pill at the collar and cuff junction with heavy use; this is cosmetic but visible and reduces exit price. (3) Zip function — the main zip should run cleanly from bottom stop to top without snagging; broken zips on a Lacoste jacket are not cost-effective to repair for EU Vinted reselling at the volume level. (4) Brand label and authenticity — the sewn crocodile should be clean with no thread pulls; the internal label should read 'Lacoste' with the correct country of manufacture (France, Portugal, or Morocco for authentic pieces from the archive eras).
Lacoste jacket style hierarchy: Harrington vs windbreaker vs tennis blouson
The €134 average across all Lacoste jacket departures reflects three distinct style tiers with different exit ranges. The Harrington jacket (zip-front raglan sleeve, tartan cotton lining, taffeta or gabardine outer shell, available in the BH0512 and BH3136 product codes from the archive era) is the primary driver of the premium exit range, exiting at €120–170 for clean examples in classic colourways. The Harrington buyer is heritage-aware and is specifically searching for the Harrington silhouette; they will pay at the top of the range for a clean piece in navy, forest green, or black because they know the retail replacement cost and the production cycle history.
The windbreaker and shell jacket tier — Lacoste's lightweight nylon wind-resistant jackets in the Sport and L-Light ranges — exits at €80–120 for clean examples. These pieces have broader appeal among the streetwear-adjacent demographic that sources Lacoste for the crocodile logo rather than the heritage construction. Windbreakers in bright colourways (orange, yellow, light blue) from the 1990s–2000s vintage window exit at the higher end of the €80–120 range because they read as archive streetwear; contemporary-season pieces in navy and black exit closer to €80. The windbreaker tier has more competition on EU Vinted than the Harrington because it appears in EU charity shops more frequently — households are more likely to donate a lightweight waterproof than a heritage Harrington.
The tennis blouson tier — Lacoste's structured zip-up bomber-adjacent jacket from the Roland Garros collaboration and Sport archive ranges — exits at €90–130 for clean pieces in classic colours. Tennis blousons are the least frequently sourced of the three categories but carry strong exit prices when found because the Roland Garros association and the structured silhouette appeal to both the heritage and the sport-fashion buyer pools. Colourway is decisive for tennis blousons: the Roland Garros green and the white/navy colourways exit above €110; generic navy or black without prominent Roland Garros branding exits closer to €90.

Lacoste numeric sizing for jackets: the sourcing complication
Lacoste uses a proprietary numeric sizing system (0–9) that does not map cleanly to EU S/M/L/XL conventions. For polo shirts, this is a well-documented issue; for jackets, the complication is larger because outerwear sizing has more variables (shoulder width, sleeve length, chest circumference) than a polo. Lacoste jacket sizing at the heritage (pre-2010) archive runs smaller than contemporary EU sizing expectations: a Lacoste jacket marked '5' from the 1990s archive fits closer to a contemporary EU M/L (chest 96–100cm) than the EU L/XL a buyer expecting a '5' to mean 'large' would assume. This size mismatch between label and fit is the single largest source of Lacoste jacket returns on EU Vinted and the easiest fix in a listing.
Reseller best practice: at the sourcing point, measure the actual chest width across the jacket front (flat lay, armpit to armpit, doubled), the sleeve length (collar seam to cuff), and the body length (collar seam to hem). Include these measurements in the Vinted listing alongside the Lacoste numeric size and an EU size estimate. A listing that reads 'Lacoste 5, EU M/L, chest 96cm flat, sleeve 65cm, body 70cm — please check against your measurements' removes the primary buyer uncertainty that drives negotiation or abandonment. EU buyers who have been burned by Lacoste's sizing once will actively search for measurement-inclusive listings and bid without negotiation on them.
Authentication for jackets: the sewn crocodile on Lacoste jackets should be a three-dimensional appliqué with a textured finish — not embossed, not printed. From the 1990s archive through to contemporary, the crocodile badge construction is consistent. Internal labels on authentic archive pieces will carry the country of manufacture (France, Portugal, or Morocco — all legitimate Lacoste production sites). Lacoste Sport archive pieces (1990s–2000s) carry the 'Lacoste Sport' label with a separate design treatment from the mainline. Counterfeit Lacoste jackets do exist but are less prevalent than counterfeit polo shirts — the jacket construction is harder and less economically attractive to replicate at low price points.
Lacoste vs Carhartt vs Tommy Hilfiger jackets on EU Vinted: sourcing comparison
Among tracked EU Vinted jacket categories, Carhartt tracks 2,375 brand-level departures/30d at €26.24 average, The North Face tracks 3,407 brand-level departures/30d at €32.05 average. Tommy Hilfiger jackets (brand-level 129 departures/30d at €36.10 avg) and Lacoste (177/30d at €39.91) sit above Carhartt in average exit but below TNF in volume.n the last 30 days at €49 average), Tommy Hilfiger (10 departures in the last 30 days at €47 average), and Lacoste (5 departures in the last 30 days at €134 average). Each has a distinct sourcing profile. Carhartt's volume is 4× Lacoste's; its exit price is 37% of Lacoste's. Carhartt jackets — primarily the Heritage Chore Coat, the Detroit Jacket, and the Active Jacket — source reliably from EU charity shops and workwear estate clearances at €10–25 and exit at €40–65. The buy-below ceiling for Carhartt jackets is €31.85 (€49 × 0.65). Carhartt is the volume play: consistent weekly sourcing opportunities at accessible prices.
Tommy Hilfiger jackets (129 brand-level departures/30d at €36.10 avg) and Lacoste (177/30d at €39.91 avg) are comparable in volume and exit price within the mid-range branded outerwear tier. Tommy Hilfiger sources from EU charity shops at €8–20 with the same accessible price floor as Carhartt. The exit ceiling for Tommy Hilfiger jackets is €55–80 for the Sherpa Trucker (the highest-exit individual Tommy Hilfiger jacket model), making the buy-below at the higher-exit tier €35.75–52. Tommy Hilfiger is a mid-volume, mid-margin play — more sourcing discipline required than Carhartt because the sub-brand identification (Tommy Jeans vs Tommy Hilfiger) matters for exit price.
Lacoste jackets (177 brand-level departures/30d at €39.91 average) offer a solid mid-volume, above-average-exit position, but each correctly sourced piece — sourced at €15–25, listed correctly with measurements and condition detail, exiting at €110–150 — generates €70–100 net per transaction before fees. Resellers running EU charity shop circuits find Lacoste jackets at low frequency relative to Carhartt or Tommy Hilfiger, but the per-item economics justify the time when the piece appears. Portfolio strategy: Carhartt for consistent weekly volume, Tommy Hilfiger for mid-tier supplementary pieces, Lacoste jackets as selective high-margin exceptions that justify the sourcing patience.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Lacoste jacket sell for on EU Vinted?
Lacoste jackets track 177 brand-level departures in the last 30 days across EU Vinted at a €39.91 average exit price (22 September 2026). These are brand-level figures — ResaleIQ does not yet publish per-model counts for Lacoste.5 across all categories. By condition: Like New (unworn or lightly worn, clean tartan lining, all zips functional) → €150–170+. Very Good (light seasonal use, clean lining, no wear-through, functional closures) → €110–140. Good (visible collar pilling, light cuff wear, functional zips) → €80–100. Fair (lining tears, broken zip, heavy pilling) → €30–55. By style tier: Harrington (the heritage zip-front raglan with tartan lining) exits at €120–170 for clean examples. Windbreakers exit at €80–120 depending on colourway and archive status. Tennis blousons exit at €90–130. The Lacoste brand overall tracks a limited number of departures in the last 30 days at €35 average — the jacket category exits at 3.83× that average because the jacket buyer is purchasing heritage sportswear outerwear, not a polo shirt. ResaleIQ updates Lacoste jacket exit data weekly from EU Vinted departure data.
What should I pay for a Lacoste jacket to make a profit on EU Vinted?
A rough buy-below for Lacoste jackets at the brand-level average of €39.91 is €25.94. For premium Lacoste Harrington jackets (which exit at €60–120), the implied buy-below is €39–78. ResaleIQ does not publish a per-model buy-below for Lacoste (not in per-model catalogue)., targeting 35% gross margin after Vinted platform fees of approximately 5%. In practice, Lacoste jackets appear at EU charity shops in France and Spain at €10–30, which means most sourcing prices land well below the buy-below ceiling. By style: Harrington (target exit €120–170) → buy-below €78–110. Windbreaker (target exit €80–120) → buy-below €52–78. Tennis blouson (target exit €90–130) → buy-below €58.50–84.50. The condition gate: do not buy a Lacoste jacket with a torn lining, non-functional main zip, or heavy collar pilling at any charity shop price above €10 — the distressed exit of €30–55 does not support charity shop sourcing at standard prices. Volume is thin at 5 departures in the last 30 days: this is a selective sourcing play, not a high-frequency volume target.
Which Lacoste jacket sells best on EU Vinted?
The Lacoste Harrington jacket is the highest-exit individual Lacoste jacket model on EU Vinted, exiting at €120–170 for clean examples in classic colourways (navy, forest green, black). The Harrington is Lacoste's signature zip-front raglan-sleeve jacket with a tartan cotton lining — a heritage design that EU Vinted buyers with sportswear-archive awareness seek specifically. Heritage archive pieces (1980s–2000s production runs from France or Portugal) in clean condition exit at the top of the €120–170 range. Contemporary-season Harringtons exit slightly lower (€100–130) because they do not carry the archive scarcity premium. The tennis blouson is the second-highest exit model at €90–130, particularly the Roland Garros collaboration colourways (green, white/navy). Windbreakers and shell jackets exit at €80–120 with stronger sourcing frequency at EU charity shops but lower per-piece exit prices. All Lacoste jacket styles exit well above the brand average of €35 — the brand name alone is not the driver; it is the specific heritage outerwear positioning.
How does Lacoste's sizing work for jackets on EU Vinted?
Lacoste uses a proprietary numeric sizing system (0–9) that does not map cleanly to EU S/M/L/XL conventions, and archive pieces run smaller than contemporary EU sizing expectations. A Lacoste jacket marked '5' from the 1990s–2000s archive fits closer to a contemporary EU M/L (chest 96–100cm flat) rather than the EU L/XL that buyers often assume. This size mismatch is the single largest cause of returns and buyer negotiation on Lacoste jacket listings on EU Vinted. Reseller best practice: at the sourcing point, measure the actual chest width (flat lay, armpit to armpit, doubled), sleeve length (collar seam to cuff), and body length (collar seam to hem). List all three measurements alongside the Lacoste numeric size and an EU size estimate. A Vinted listing with accurate measurements removes the primary uncertainty that prevents buyers from committing at the full exit price. Buyers who have been mis-sized on Lacoste before will actively search for measurement-inclusive listings.
Are Lacoste jackets worth reselling on EU Vinted compared to Carhartt?
Lacoste jackets and Carhartt jackets are different sourcing plays. Lacoste jackets track 177 brand-level departures in the last 30 days at €39.91 average. Carhartt tracks 2,375 brand-level departures/30d at €26.24 average on EU Vinted; Lacoste jackets track 5 departures in the last 30 days at €134 average. Carhartt is the volume play: 4× the weekly departure frequency, accessible sourcing at EU charity shops at €10–25, consistent buy-below ceiling of €31.85 (€49 × 0.65), predictable weekly throughput. Lacoste jackets are the selective high-margin play: 5 departures in the last 30 days means infrequent sourcing opportunities, but each correctly sourced Lacoste jacket (sourced at €15–25, exiting at €110–150) generates €70–100 net per piece compared to Carhartt's €15–25 net per piece. Portfolio strategy: Carhartt for weekly volume and consistent cash flow; Lacoste jackets for high-margin selective sourcing when the piece appears at the right price and condition. Both are viable on EU Vinted; the choice depends on whether your sourcing operation prioritises frequency (Carhartt) or per-transaction return (Lacoste).
