Frequently Asked Questions

Are your vintage rugby jerseys authentic?

Yes. Every jersey is inspected for accurate branding, sponsor placement, stitching, print quality, and era correct tags or design elements. If anything is a reproduction, it will be clearly stated.

What condition are the jerseys in?

Each jersey is checked for wear, fading, loosening of print, and fabric integrity. Condition varies with age, but every listing includes detailed photos so you know exactly what you are getting.

Why do some jerseys have small imperfections?

Vintage jerseys have lived real lives. Minor wear, slight fading, or softening of the collar are normal signs of age. For many collectors, this adds authenticity rather than detracts from it.

Sizing and Fit

Do vintage rugby jerseys fit differently from modern jerseys?

Yes. Older jerseys tend to run bigger or have a boxier cut compared to modern slim fit kits. Always check the measurements provided in each listing for the most accurate fit.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your favourite jersey across the chest (pit to pit), and measure from shoulder to hem and compare it to the measurements on the listing. Do not rely only on the label size since vintage sizing varies by brand and era.

Shipping and Packaging

Do you ship internationally?
Yes, all orders are shipped worldwide with tracking (if selected).

How long does shipping take?
Delivery times vary by country. New Zealand orders usually arrive in a few days or less. International orders typically take one to three weeks depending on location and customs processing.

Payments and Security

Is payment secure on the site?
Yes, all transactions are processed through secure payment gateways with full SSL encryption.

Care and Longevity

How should I wash a vintage rugby jersey?
Cold wash only, gentle cycle, and avoid the dryer. Heat can damage older prints and fabrics. Air dry to preserve colour and structure.

Can I wear these jerseys regularly, or are they mainly for collecting?
Many buyers wear them casually, but vintage pieces last longest when washed carefully and not worn for heavy training.
