******************** * * * Time Sale in Progress!! * * * ******************** ※ Until 10 PM tonight (January 25th) [Vintage] Retail Authentic This is a vintage retail authentic jersey of Joe Montana (49ers). It's the away version. It has tags and is unused. Shoulder width: 58cm Body width: 61cm Length: 84cm *************** "Explanation" Reebok was the exclusive apparel partner of the NFL from 2002 to 2012. Items from this era that are sold by other companies, even if they claim to be "Authentic," are actually just replicas (Replica; inexpensive version). <What's the difference between "Authentic" and "Replica"? > Reebok also sold replica jerseys at the time. So, how can you tell them apart? ・Fabric: Authentic uses high-quality, durable fabric, while Replica uses thin, lightweight fabric. ・Logos, names, numbers, patches: Authentic items have multiple layers sewn on, while Replica items are printed or, even if sewn on, are single-layered. Also, the size notation on the patch (called a "Jock tag"; see photo 5) attached to the right hem facing the front is a number (e.g., 52) for Authentic, while it's an alphabet (M or L) for Replica. ・Feel: Due to the nature of the fabric used, Authentic feels thick and durable, while Replica feels thin and light. *************** I bought this over 20 years ago, and it has been stored in a plastic bag ever since.
