    Yes, it is an internet only ordering part of Littlewoods. I know cos as I had to ring them with query the other day and at first the girl from Littlewoods who answered hadn't even heard of them.

    There are quite a few of them that are branches of littlewoods but the prices differ considerably

    Astute Wimbledon viewers will have noticed tennis chavs Andy Roddick and Richard Gasquet both sporting Lacoste outfits in Friday's quarter-final. And both were wearing baseball caps to complete the look...

    I've no interest in the tracksuits personally, but good on the OP for posting. Two points in relation to the some of the comments above:

    1) Just because a brand/product is - fleetingly - associated with a particular section of society doesn't mean that others who have no interest in that sort of association might not want it. Lacoste in particular has had a premium brand status for many years which will no doubt outlive the sort of association mentioned so far in this thread.

    2) Regardless of all this, MSE is of course exactly the place where people should be able to discuss where to find cheaper tracksuits - or whatever. So they may not be to everybody else's taste, but hey, what ever is?

    I placed an order on friday for 5 items no problem, i had an email yesterday to say that 3 items are now sold out. Before these items had sold out my order was £76 and i was charged delivery but in the delivery charges it said
    'free delivery on orders over £60' and
    'free next day delivery on orders over £100.
    I had planned to ring CS after they arrived but now my order totals £44 the delivery charge is payable anyway. Just pointing this out incase it helps someone else

    Blissfully content & happy with life

    Roddick gets paid $5million per year to wear it, not sure about Gasguet.
    After the 'cheapening' of the brand due to Lacoste branching out from top class tennis gear into cheaper mass market stuff, this is an attempt to get them back to the top in the sport where they started out.
