    They only do a limited sale then take them off the website as soon as they hit that number. I think for that one they did 80, 50 at first then an additional 30 because those 50 went quickly.

    Sold out.

    As an aside has anyone had an delivery issues with them? Ordered a White Adidas one and loads on Twitter saying they have received theirs. Mine hasn't turned up and no response to my queries about it.

    Fortunately not, only ordered 3 so far. 2 arrived (including the white Adidas) about the time expected. The other is the half white and green/purple one which I don't believe has been sent out yet.

    The club could easily licence the use of their badge (probably the only IP in the older shirts, other than "passing off" rights) to third party companies to make and sell them. Could then have make demands over quality and also take a cut (if they wanted). Unlikely to undercut sales of current shirts, might strengthen their brand, and give them a bit of control. Also as someone said re Arsenal v Reed, they want to avoid acquiescence where they don't prevent unauthorized use, because after a period time you can't then do anything about it (5 years? I don't do a lot of trade mark work these days).

    The club is part of the issue, Adidas aren't overly keen on their logo being used on what they would see as knock off merch

    Hi mate. What size did you go for? 

    I had the original of that ecru one but lost it!! 😭
    I've got XL in both. They're very true to size so no need to size up in my experience.

    Still not got mine, not being very helpful at the moment, hope it doesn't come to it, but it's feeling like this might end up being a PayPal dispute.

    Cool. I’ve gone for a large which is what I’d probably normally buy for a football shirt, but in the past the sizing of some shirts (especially official ones we sold at the club shop) came up enormous so I would have to end up sizing down rather than up

    On a different subject but related.

    My son in law popped into a random sport shop in Melbourne yesterday and sent me this picture of a charlton shirt on sale. I dont recall us playing in it.

    I thought it looked quite good.

    I’ve had some trouble too, patchy response times over email for a couple of weeks (usually after a follow up) and then no response on a Twitter DM for the past few days either - trying not to be too upset about it because it’s clearly a small operation.

    I’m concerned I’m too late now to make any changes and will have to make sure any future orders are submitted with the right info the first time.

    Thank goodness they designed that white and red kit, with black shorts. 

    Just imagine how difficult it would have been to distinguish the two teams in that picture if Charlton were wearing red shirts and white shorts.

    Fits in really well if you have any Zebras or pandas nearby.

    Edited as it's been taken down now in fairness to the seller.

    I purchased a 86/87 home shirt a few months back. Took about 3 weeks to arrive. No problems and fine to deal with

    Thanks, I had a memory that the yellow one didn’t have the same collar as the red one (which I had a retro shirt of before), shame…

    F*** the fact they are a small company.

    They have your money and not giving you the service you deserve.
    All good now - the shirt I bought finally arrived today. Guess it just took a while to make it over this way. I still didn’t get my question/request about sizes answered but luckily it worked out because it turned out the size I chose was right anyway.

    Shirt is well made and I’m looking forward to wearing it so I’m happy despite a bit of heartburn waiting for it to arrive wondering if I’d made a mistake.

    I’m sure if you’re U.K. based and you know what size you need the first time you will have no issues BUT don’t expect any real response if you need to change anything on your order so make sure you get it right the first time.

    They never responded to any of my attempts to contact them either. Maybe it’s something the Supports Trust could take up with them, if they’re going to be partnering with RRR going forwards.

    Just remembered, ordered the blue woolwich shirt about a month ago and not heard so much as a peep from them. Did anyone else order?

    Didn't get the blue one but ordered one a few months ago. From memory, it took a fair while to come and they actually closed their twitter DMs so I couldn't get in touch. The shirt itself was really cool but unfortunately some of the seams broke on the first wear which has put me off buying anymore as it is a great idea.

    Score Draw would probably be the best bet for the club to partner with in terms of getting retro shirts done legit. They do seem to cover a couple of the clubs at our level, mainly bigger ones with histories at higher levels, which probably qualifies us! 

    Ive bought a few kits off them and they're high quality, but they won't include the details of the manufacturer, so Adidas kits won't have the trefoil logo or the three stripes running down the shoulders which can make some of their kits look odd.

    I ordered the White One. Didn't turn up and have been having a nightmare getting a refund. Finally got them to acknowledge it was lost and offer a refund a couple of weeks ago. Now no sign of the refund and the response to Twitter DMs has dried up. Really wish they accepted PayPal as the dispute would be far easier to deal with.
