A label cut \u003cem\u003efor comfort\u003c\/em\u003e leaves a clean edge inside the original seam, with no re-sewing — that's the case here, look at photo 4. A label removed \u003cem\u003eto hide something\u003c\/em\u003e almost always leaves a seam that has been unpicked and redone, or a gap in the tidiness of the collar. Then I switch to what isn't easily faked: the weight of the knit, the density of the embroidery, the sewn AUTHENTIC tab. This shirt passes every one of those tests.

In the vast majority of cases the collar label is cut because it was scratching the neck — nothing more. What should raise a flag is a seam that has been unpicked and redone, or a collar deformed around that area. Here the cut is clean, inside the original seam, and the collar hasn't been reworked (photo 4). I validated authenticity on the other markers listed in the block above, and my lifetime guarantee applies exactly as it does on every other piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;background:#fafafa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 16px\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;font-size:0.95em\"\u003eHow do you know it's 2011-2012 without a label?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 0 0;color:#444\"\u003eBy cross-checking three datable elements. The \u003cstrong\u003eQatar Foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e sponsor was only worn by Barcelona from 2011 to 2013 — before that the chest was bare or carried unicef. The \u003cstrong\u003eLFP\u003c\/strong\u003e patch disappears in 2016. And this \u003cstrong\u003eblack model\u003c\/strong\u003e with textured shoulder panels is specific to the 2011-2012 season. The three windows overlap on a single year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;background:#fafafa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 16px\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;font-size:0.95em\"\u003eIs the nameset original?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 0 0;color:#444\"\u003eNo, and I'd rather be straight with you: the \u003cstrong\u003eshirt\u003c\/strong\u003e is 100% authentic, but the MESSI No.10 nameset is a \u003cstrong\u003epremium reproduction\u003c\/strong\u003e that I applied by hand in my workshop, in the official font of the 2011-2012 season.

It isn't systematic on the pieces I sell: when a patch is applied in the workshop, I always say so.
