Amazon shirts - Has anyone got one of these?

[IBarrett]

I found these on Amazon and thought they would be a bit of fun for a trip out to Spain in March.
Has anyone bought any of these and is the quality OK?

There are some reviews on Amazon

I do like this one from that range...

 

[IBarrett]

Well I've ordered one so I'll let you how they come up size wise

 

[vickster]

Problem with Amazon is they stopped doing free returns which means buying clothes can be a costly lottery

Northwave used to do a jersey in a Matador's "suit of lights" design, which would be even more fun for a trip out to Spain!
Discontinued a few years ago though (as should bullfighting be, I hasten to add).
Can't find a picture of one, unfortunately, so you'll have to take my word for it.

If they are made in Asia you need at least one size bigger than normal.

Aren't almost all clothes made in Asia? Even the genuine ones from brands

I bought some from e Bay being sent from China. I think they were made for medium sized Chinamen, certainly not medium sized Europeans.

But they made good rags for cleaning the bike.

Yes, that's what the reviews suggest. The language used here would make me think these aren't coming from the Amazon warehouse in Milton Keynes. Hopefully it'll arrive for the OPs trip in March


Answer:
Dear friend, thank you for your interest on our item, our size is much smaller than European size, we suggest you order XL size for this item.

I don't know if the make is the same but I have one of the sunglasses with the smile. The sizing was quite small for a 2XL. However mine cost over £50 from SummitDifferent so these could I suppose just be cheap copies

Amazon now have 8 warehouses around the country. Where we used to supply just the one with products, we now have to supply them all. A right royal pita.
The seller is trading as an 'Amazon Market Place' customer. So yes, they would be supplying the garment's themselves rather then Amazon.

I found a delivery date of Wed 2 March so it seems Vickster could well be right.

Now I'm worried that despite going up a size and getting an XL it might be a shirt I donate to one of my nieces. I'll report back.

I'm interested in the Matador design Poacher. Unfortunately bull fighting is still very much prevalent in Andalucia but at least they would get it if I did find one.

Have a look to see what Foska have in their clearance,also stolen goat. There are others selling novelty shirts too

If you look at the vendor details it's an outfit in China shipping direct (hence the long delay) ... so be beware of quality ...... just saying, having been bitten by poor Chinese quality jerseys before . . .
