I want to find a authentic lacoste polo wholesaler within the United States

Dear Goodaw, 

Lacoste USA sell their own marchendise wholesale throgh: 1-800-4-LACOSTE. 

Basically, any other way would be through go-between retailers (even
if they are wholesellers), or God forbid, through counterfeit
manufacturers.

See the FAQ at: 
Lacoste
<http://www.lacoste.com> 

The problem is, that Lacoste also restrict their local
reprepsentatives from selling to "foreign" retailers, so I'm afraid
looking outside the US wouldn't do any good: a "real" Lacoste
wholesaler is only their local representative, and these would sell
only in the countries, to which they are commissioned.

I hope this answers your question. Please contact me if you need any
clarification on this answer before you rate it. Search strategy:
(1) Going through the Lacoste site
(2) Although it was vain, I also searched ["wholesale" Lacoste] (with
specific terms such as "tax ID").

This is the official number as it appears on the Lacoste site: 

http://www.lacoste.com/low-fi/English/SPRING-SUMMER%202006%20COLLECTION/Licensees/Clothing/USA/

Very simple and poor answer, insulting to think that it would suffice.
I requested exact information not information I can find in 3 minutes
myself... Should have done the decent thing a submitted at least a
partial refund - makes living just trying to answer as many questions
as they can... detailed or not...
