How do you condition grade your shirts?Updated 2 days ago

Every pre-owned shirt we list is carefully assessed by our in-house team using a consistent and transparent grading system. Our goal is to give collectors and fans complete confidence in what they’re buying.

We keep things clear and consistent. Each shirt’s final condition grade is displayed on both the product title and description, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before you buy.

We grade our shirts based on the following criteria:

Material: Overall feel and structure of the fabric, including thickness and flexibility.

Wear – General signs of use such as bobbles, pulls, snags, or fraying. We also check high-wear zones like the inner neck.

Colour – Vibrancy and accuracy of the original colours.

Labels – Presence and condition of inner size tags, wash labels, and neck branding.

Detail – Quality of elements like the club badge, sponsor logos, sleeve patches, and namesets.

We use this information to formulate to give the shirt its final overall condition grade:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ [Perfect/New] - No defects

⭐⭐⭐⭐ [Excellent] - 1–2 very minor flaws

⭐⭐⭐ [Good] - Noticeable wear or small defects

⭐⭐ [Fair] - Heavy wear or visible damage

⭐ [Poor] - Major flaws, damage or heavy fading

Behind the scenes, every shirt undergoes a full scoring process across our five grading criteria. These individual scores are carefully recorded and written on the swing tag attached to the shirt a subtle but professional touch that reflects the care and detail we put into every item we stock.

It’s just one more way we ensure total transparency and help you buy with confidence.
