Le Tigre is an American brand of apparel designed to rival Lacoste in styling. First offered in 1977, Le Tigre polos sported a leaping tiger in lieu of Lacoste's signature crocodile and Retro Fox's leaping fox. The brand made a comeback in 2003, after being out of production through the 1990s. Le Tigre had become popular during the later 1980s; celebrities from Chamberland, LL Cool J, and even Ronald Reagan were seen wearing the tiger. The company is based in New York City. Le Tigre was purchased in 2007 by Kenneth Cole Productions.[1][2]
