so therefore, the fact that the alleged PI jersey is not authentic because it was made in Thailand is invalid?

With all these different "versions" of PI, it really makes me wonder the ones we have sitting in our closet is not the authentic one -.- even i think the "country of origin" cannot be used to determined once and for all as we all know, it's just "printing". It can be altered to being manufactured in the UK if they want it.

alternating between heat press and embroidery seems a bit "redundant". further, i have came across PI jerseys on the same season with different method of affixing the club crest on the jerseys.

just for the Arsenal 2012/2014 home jersey, i've seen 2 different PI version, one with total heat press and one with embroidery, like the replica version.

you mean, Lextra material?

Anyway, i'd advise you to don't use the type of hanger that you are using to hang your jersey. Bulges will developed along the shoulders and it's quite an irritant to the eyes.

Use those better qualities one if you insist on hanging them (those with a thicker diaphragm). For me, i just fold them properly and stack them on each other. It is also easier to grab them if i want to wear them instead of removing the hanger from the bottom of the shirt.

Haha, i'm sure he hasn't even "formally" wore it yet since he only bought it on the 28/07/2013. (assuming he posted the picture of the same day of purchase)

anybody have any information regarding "Source Lab". I found that they have been manufacturing those casual wear with club themes.

not sure if they are one of those official manufacturers for club wears though.

If this is the real deal then i think i have to say i hate whoever approved the design, i really dislike the fact that they didn't use the original colors of the club crest but i doubt this could be real because the Nike tag is on top (collar area?).

Nike usually tag their stuffs at the sleeves, yes?

have you tried protechkitzone, kitpride etc?

if you are looking for used serie a jerseys then this is the wrong place.

there are plenty of sites out there, check out the first page otherwise just google protechkitzone or kitpride, these are 2 local distributors which i believe might have the jersey that you are looking for.

kitpride however is slightly more expensive, maybe by RM10 or so. No idea why.

That MU jersey you bought was for which season? Is it Home or Away? I have not bought any from 442kit.com. I might when my current supplier pulls my leg. The badges should costs about RM30 or so for a pair, if it's PS-pro material then it's about RM40, the last time i checked.

PI means Player Issue. This is the exact shirt that players wore during matches. The ones we have in shops retailing at RM259.00 or lower are replica versions, by replica, it means it is not fake. It is a replicate of the player issue with some features missing, more like for fans comfort casual wear. The holes are supposedly to give the player more airing during playtime and the rubber "T" patches are used to enhance the bond between the jersey's seam.

PI are all heat bonded (the last time i was informed) therefore there are no strings used to sewed all the pieces together.

The rule of thumb for me to determine whether i have been F* at a deal is to turn the shirt inside out and look at the back of the crest. Usually, the fake will have a bad embroidery work and a piece of white sheet to hold the crest in place.

There are many other factors to determine if what you bought is a fake that's why i only buy from the stores i am used to and i never buy PI.

I have yet to have my shirt heat pressed with PS-pro NN material but will do soon once i got my Arsenal away 2013/2014 shirt and the store is stocked up with the European fonts.

Some of the people here have did so and realized the texture is more or less like the texture of the sponsors heat pressed right in front of the shirt. PS-pro is prone to cracking due to its PU nature whereas Lextra is much more hardcore but i have heard people complain that it turns yellow after few years.

Maybe it wasn't the shirt size that has expand =O maybe it was you who is shrinking hahaha.

even if there is a difference in sizes, it's not entirely surprising, the technology manufacturing the jersey and the researches that has been conducted for the past 3 to 4 years may sway towards what we see today.

the last i was informed, Nike has shortage of supplies heading toward Asia so i expect every order heading to Asia irrespective of through which channel you ordered from is delayed. They are prioritizing in the continent of Europe first.

i placed my order with protechtkitzone midweek of July and was expecting delivery within the 1st week of August but no sign of them until last week which i subsequently cancelled my order with them and demanded for a refund. the personal over at protechkitzone told me that they will only have enough this coming week just for delivery to the people who ordered was earlier than me. this simply means an indefinite period of waiting.

however, last thursday i ordered from 442kit and got the shirt on last Friday, wore it on Sunday to church.

despite the fact Arsenal performed like a bunch of schoolboys over the weekend, i must say, the new away shirt is very good looking o.<b

P/S: they used Royal Mail and i previously ordered a Nike Polo-T with the club crest from Arsenal Direct, it took about 7 days for the order to arrive from the date of order placed. They worked over the weekend as well.
