✦ Lifetime authenticity guarantee
Checked by hand in my authentication workshop. If a piece bought from me ever turned out not to be authentic, I refund in full. No expiry date: only original pieces, never modern re-editions.
Three lions crest : blue lions and Tudor roses embroidered in relief, 1966 title star above (photo 3)
Textured sleeves : burgundy with fine woven stripes, clean join with the red body (photos 2 and 3)
Cut and finish : V-neck, embroidered Nike swoosh, blue stripes sewn into the sides (photo 2)
Workshop note — Code 724608-600 matches England's red away shirt in supporter version, and batch SU160912 points to a September 2016 production, at the start of the qualifiers. On this model, I check the join between the textured sleeves and the body: clean and even. I never count the lettering or the patches among my proofs.
Jamie Vardy, the express rise
A non-league player until the age of 25, Jamie Vardy became champion of England with Leicester in 2016, at the end of one of the biggest upsets in football history.
26 March 2016, Berlin. Coming off the bench against Germany, he scored his first England goal with a backheel, in a 3-2 win after trailing 2-0.
The road to Russia. This away shirt goes with the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign, which England came through unbeaten.
Vardy then played at the 2018 World Cup, where England reached the semi-finals.
National team shirts carry the player's number on the chest, under the crest. It is the rule in international competitions.
What does the star above the crest stand for?
It marks the 1966 World Cup, won by England at home, at Wembley.
How can I check the shirt is authentic?
Look at the small inner label: code 724608-600 and size S should be there. You can type this code into a search engine to check the model yourself.
How does this S fit?
On the slim side: 48 cm pit to pit and 71 cm long. If you wear an S in regular shops, it will fit you close to the body.
How much is shipping and how fast is it?
