My old school friend used to do repairs on the Bank of China building in Hong Kong using a windsurf harness as a safety precaution back in the 1990s 🤢

During first lockdown I decided to sort out my shirts and photograph them. Now it’s Tier 4 and a bit more time I might get round to finally writing down and cataloguing them
When you buy a bundle of old football shirts and the seller says I found another one & will throw it in for free 😵

create a new category under Sports Memorabilia for “Football Shirts (reproduction, reissue, fake or from DHgate,)” as it’s getting a bit cluttered full of crap at the moment with loads of people getting burnt

Pulled the trigger on this old

shirt. QPR wore a few versions from 1979 to 1983. This was originally picked up in 1979. Neck tag is a bit worn but a large adult size. Compliments a few of my

Football Shirt from an avid collector in the US, just waiting for it to be shipped by my old US school mate
@retroQPR
Shirt Inventory ongoing, looking at England 3rd kits 1986-1993 - the 1989 prototype long sleeve round collar shirt forerunner for the famously worn shirt during Italia 1990; the unusual 1986 darker blue design bought a few years ago now & the 1988 umbro round collar offering
Bit of a splurge purchase but it is beautiful.

Morning stroll around east London so popped in to CFS. 😳eye watering prices. Think I could retire and live abroad on a beach if i sold all mine at those prices
Music wise I’ll always be a 90s indie kid but for football shirts it has to be the 1980s for me.
Looking back at the 80s shirts collected over the last few months (stretched to 89/90 season)
IMO, Best era for shirts
Which is your favourite?

Finally got round to photographing the recent 📦 arrival. Sometimes you get lucky & sometimes very lucky. This was more the latter. Probably won’t see another like it for a while. One final collation of all the shirts & jackets
A couple of early gems pulled from today’s box original England

items. I’ve got quite a few of the shirt now but never had the sweater
My youngest has asked me for an England shirt to wear down the pub later.
He said can I wear one of those blue ones……he got a short sharp answer
I gave in with a 1990 home original Italia90 😬
On the way home from work found a seller who similarly kept all his shirts when he was young. All original adult shirts from 1990 to 1995

Isolation Sunday. Forgot this bag was lurking in the garage. Amazing how many shirts can fit into one of these laundry bags ~110 shirts
Needless to say some may be moved to better storage conditions 😁

Bought online Saturday morning, arrived today. I did question how legit it is was from pics but all looks fine. Even the colour bleed into the collar as originals tended to do. Not bad for just over £30

When you buy some shirts that are too good to be true and you expect the eventual hassle of raising a PayPal dispute BUT then they turn up and all Mint and adults
