Full details
This Toffs Reading 1970 Retro Football Shirt is for nostalgic football fans and collectors seeking an authentic piece of club history. Its key benefit is the genuine replication of the 1970 Reading team shirt, offering a tangible connection to the past. A key consideration is the absence of a club crest, reflecting the team's kit during that specific era (1955-1981). This long-sleeved, regular-fit shirt is crafted from heavy-weight, durable 100% cotton jersey, featuring the Bukta sponsor badge of the time.

Troubleshooting
Shirt loses shape after washing
Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle and air drying or using a low heat tumble dry setting. The fine gauge knit is designed to retain shape, but excessive heat can affect cotton.
Color bleeding
Wash dark colors separately, especially for the first few washes. Use a mild detergent.
Bukta badge feels stiff
This is normal for heat-sealed badges. Avoid direct high heat from ironing on the badge. If ironing is needed, turn the shirt inside out or iron on a very low setting.
