Brilliant, looking to get some replicas made in Thailand for some Boro fans in UK so this would help getting the proportions in line.....
Asking a favour to get the proportions correct could you post the following....
What size is your shirt? ideally measure front width across band and double
Collar width of white band top to bottom
Collar witdth (opening)
Measurement from collar to top white band in the chest
Measurement of white band
Measurement of bottom of white band to bottom of shirt
Cuff width
Adidas fan height/width
Lion height/width
Measurement from Adidas fan right side to Black lion start
Post close up of label?
Seems to be a demand for a good quality replica hopefully with your help get them looking as near to original as possible

It's a junior size. Seems a bit bigger than one of those car window shirts compared to my current shirt size

I wrote to the ebay vendor telling him that his shirt was definitely not an original but a fake. No response.

look at this boro team pic from 1977-78 season. Look at the 2 players next to Jim Platts left. ... Can you see something strange about their tops? and Hedley above

looks to be slightly different versions from originals bought in the club shop and players issue, look at the gap between the adidas fan and the start of the boro lion. The shop bought version has a R above the adidas fan and I would say is 30% bigger...and maybe in line with the lion start. .the players issue dont have the R and are smaller ... maybe a limit on logo size in 1977?
