It’s located in the giant mall’s Neighborhood 8, near Saks Fifth Avenue off Fifth Street in Ontario.Get more news about lacoste polo shirt sale,you can vist kictg.com!

They were pullover, polo-type shirts, short-sleeved, that came in a pastel rainbow of Easter basket colors: pink, peach, yellow, marigold, lavender, violet, lime green, teal blue, fuschia, chartreuse, puce …I bought them as if they were drugs. My whole family suffered. There was no money left to feed the kids, or even the pets.

Oh, wait, I didn’t have kids, or even pets, so it wasn’t as bad as all that, but you should have looked into my clothes closet in those days. You have been blinded.

Like I said, though, I wasn’t the only one wearing crocodile shirts. Everyone was wearing crocodile shirts. I remember going to the Sawdust Festival in Laguna Beach one summer and there were so many people wearing pastel-colored Lacoste shirts, we looked like a stampeding horde of marshmallow Peeps.

Lacoste shirts became too popular, in fact, which ultimately led to their fall from favor. It’s an old story. We push away the things we love too much. It’s like that thing with Charlie Sheen. We build him up, then we tear him down.That was OK, at least for me personally. I was advancing toward middle age at the time, and my figure was changing. My belly was going from being very in, to being very out. Crocodile shirts, which were quite snug and form fitting, no longer were the best look for me.

Naturally, though, I saved them all. I tend to be a hoarder when it comes to shirts. I still have one of the old gray uniform shirts, with my name stitched on it, that I wore to work at my first job, as a janitor, while I was a high school student in the ’60s.

And I still have an American flag shirt from the 1970s. I bought it at Betsy Ross’ Pants Flags, a hip boutique that the actor Bill Bixby opened on San Bernardino’s Highland Avenue.We had hip boutiques all over the place back then. There was also Fallis East in Central City Mall, and Judy’s in the Inland Center. San Bernardino was a mod, mod, mod, mod world in those days.

Anyway, like I said, I save shirts, so I totally am in good shape for the comeback of crocodile shirts. Well, I’m in good shape as far as having them. Maybe not in such great shape as far as wearing them. I guess if crocodile shirts are coming back in, I better get my belly back in, too.
