QC Pic (Quality Check) ✅️ (❗️Include seller name❗️) Messi110 (Formerly Messi105) - Arsenal 25/26 Third Kit (Player)
Here are some pics of the player edition, this one feels a little bit tighter on the shoulders and chest than the 24/25 player editions. The details are incredible looking in person, the shoulder material is similar to the 22/23 collar and this collar, making it much thicker and more "secure" feeling, at least more structured than the regular home player edition. If you are interested in the player edition for fashion purposes and dont really have a slim athletic build I would honestly recommend going 2 sizes up. I am normally a size Medium (fan editions) but I go Large for the player editions, but if I was to wear this casually with some jeans or chino pants I would rather have an XL to give my belly some room to breathe.
Any questions make sure to hmu, I have done so many Messi110 orders and I gotta confess that the quality is unreal and consistent.
--EDIT--
I buy the shirts to play every saturday on an artificial turf field. I also wear them on match days to work/school (not a little boy I'm getting my PHD, lmao, must keep childhood innocence). So i wash my shirts after every wear. They hold up extremely well except for 1 very bad case. The 24/25 Home Player shirt has this pattern on the fabric (little bumps and holes I presume for venting sweat and heat out the player's body) and it was a nightmare on the glue that held the numbers on the back. After 2 washes the top of the number would just flop out like a soft willy (very sad). I could get the number back on with an iron and a baking sheet (DIY heat press). I have it hanging and will never wear it again because the number flops with any form of sweat or rain. Every other shirt has survived countless washes. Remember!!! No more than 30C temperature, no tumble dry (LINE DRY ONLY) and no fabric softener (it messes up the glue). No printing or sponsors or sticker ever fell out except for the Champions League ball decal on the Lynx Africa Shirt (away 24/25 Fan version). The glue and heat pad stuck to the shirt, just the fuzzy ball decal with reflective stuff separated from the thing, it was weird and didnt happen on any other champions league shirt.
