A superb collector piece over 25 years old, in excellent condition for its age. The only flaw, flagged in full transparency, is a tiny hole on the back (see photo 6). No stain or discolouration; the Pires N7 print is intact.
Lay flat a shirt that fits you well, measure it the same way and compare — vintage sizing often runs differently from new shirts.

📖 1999-2000: Pires, the Marseille artist before Arsenal
Robert Pires, a 1998 World Cup winner, wore the OM colours during the 1999-2000 season, the one in which Marseille finished runners-up in Ligue 1. His playmaking talent electrified the Vélodrome before his big move to Arsenal in summer 2000, where he became a Gunners legend.
This navy blue away shirt, made by Adidas with the Ericsson sponsor, is a genuine late-90s collector piece — doubly sought after with the print of a World Cup winner. A vintage grail for lovers of French football.
1998 World Cup winner, Arsenal legend: this Marseille N7 is the piece from his French years.
