This fucker probably went to France on holiday and saw Lacoste shirts for sale, and then decided to plagiarize the shit out of it. Since Lacoste was founded in 1933, it's not likely that the Crocodile brand came before the Lacoste brand.

OUR HISTORY​

1947​

Dr Tan Hian Tsin founded Crocodile in 1947. He was born in Shantou, China but migrated to Saigon where his father set up a garment business after the Japanese invasion of China. In 1947, Dr Tan decided to relocated again but, this time, to Singapore as it had a more stable political scene and currency, compared with other countries in the region. This was when Crocodile brand was established.

The company's first shop was located at 6 North Bridge Road - where Parliament House now stands. Initially, Crocodile opted to sell only singlets - a popular clothing item back then.
