a_broxibear Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Hi folks, Just went to JD sports and noticed the Scotland tops are £50 for kids and £72 for adults! Even with discount, that's about £200 for a couple of t-shirt for me and the kids, and I refuse to pay these over inflated prices! where is the best place to get decent quality retro kits?

jcs Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I've mostly used toffs but also scoredraw or ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECK Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 There is def cheaper options on eBay at the moment. There also seems to be an influx of remakes of some the classic early 90s away tops/the 1990 "leisure" kits. Im not sure where these are coming from. The designs are spot on essentially but I'm dubious of the quality but they are quite cheap I suppose. Was hoping someone could shed some light on these?

Uk sellers are buying them in bulk and selling them on eBay with big markup. Ive bought our current tops from DH Gate in the past and there’s always been slight differences(not big but enough to annoy me)however I’ve just bought 92 away and 98 home from DH Gate and very happy, 30 quid for both, 2 weeks delivery.

JECK Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 The euro 96 away top (that was sadly never worn during tournament) has been grabbing my attention recently. Bit of an under appreciated gem imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor1996 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) In case anyone has any reservations about DH Gate. I bought the 2017/19 home top from them. Good quality, fair price. Shipping was a little slow, but it was worth the money. If you see listings with the badges/sponsors missing, they just do it for copyright, etc. The badges/sponsors will be on the shirt when you receive it.

romanticscot Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I've bought three Scotland tops from DH gate, I cannot tell the difference in quality but their size is far too small. I've decided not to buy any more. I'm 6ft 4 and 220 lbs, an XXL is too small but if your smaller than me you can maybe do just fine with them.

It’s not easy to keep your weight in check over there with the Texas portions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) My BMI is high, honestly I don't mind the weight it's just that it's all belly fat for me. Back on topic, I bought an XL from DH Gate, it was too small for me but I have it to my pal who normally wears a medium and it was perfect for him. This is a DH Gate top, I've had it about a year, at the time this jersey wasn't available in the shops, it was held back for Copa America. It has the tags on, holograms and little motives - I can't tell the difference, this one is climalite and the fabric seems to be identical. The badges are quality, this one is embroidered. I don't know of they are imitation or something else. Edited May 21, 2021 by romanticscot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying only Americans give their weight in pounds so you’ve been over there for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romanticscot Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 This is another place I've bought from, the seller is super friendly. He added XXL so I could buy the one attached as XL was the largest he did. Again, quality is outstanding but the size is the same issue you would probably need to go two sizes above your normal. https://www.ebay.com/str/vintageretroreplicas The badges are like felt to the touch and the material has the embossed diagonal stripe. Delivery time was about two weeks for me in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor1996 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I'm mulling over buying the 96 and 98 (home shirts) from DHGate. It states that delivery will be between 9-25 days. I've sent the seller a message, just for clarification. Oh. If anyone is planning to spend $25 (£17.67) use code: DHAFFMJ2 for $5 (£3.53) off.* *You have to be a new customer, though. So just do as I did and set up a new account with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And new customers get a $2 voucher. And you can use that in conjunction with the $5 one. That's about £4.95 off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Euro 96 and France 98 ones arrived today. One with lettering and numbers. Just washed them, so I haven't worn them. The 98 top has a few bobbles. Buyers beware. I've messages the seller, I'll probably be given a partial refund. Oh well. It just looks "vintage". Not bad for £23.90.

Auchinyell Sox Change Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 My last kit purchase was for 98 world cup ; sports shop near oxford circus for game at sports cafe in haymarket ; brazil game never thought be waiting this long to wear it again….. only other one ive got is a Toffs long sleeve “67 one - too warm for this i did have a “replica” 78 top ; think it was “litesome” tho instead of umbro, and the diamonds were ellipses or something,,,, 78 most iconic kit in my view though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auchinyell Sox Change Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Meant to say that 78 top was a knock off during wc 78 ; sure it was from Simpsons sport shop in Aberdeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Never found a good reproduction of the 78 top. Always wrong material or wrong fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
