Player-version measurements run roughly one size slimmer than the figures above — if you are between sizes, take the larger.

How to measure

Lay the shirt flat and measure pit to pit (armpit to armpit) and collar to hem, then compare with the table. Between sizes, take the larger. Measurements are in centimetres, with 1–2 cm variation between pieces.

About this shirt

The Japan home shirt — long sleeve and player-version cut, which is slimmer through the chest and body than the standard fit. Sizes S-XXL.

The home shirt is the one the season is remembered by — it is the design that appears in every team photo, every highlight and every sticker album of that year, which is why home shirts anchor a collection and away shirts add the variety around them.

Japan in the archive

Home, away, goalkeeper, kids and women’s fit, with an unusually large number of player-version cuts. Every listing states the season and which cut it is. Japan’s home shirt is blue — the reason the national side is known as the Samurai Blue — and the kit design has a reputation for being more adventurous than most, with graphic patterns that change substantially between cycles rather than following a fixed template. This is one of the larger international ranges we hold, and unusually it leans towards player-version cuts: a significant share of the Japan stock is the slimmer squad specification rather than the standard retail fit. If you want the roomier version, check the title of the listing, which states which cut it is. The range covers home and away shirts, goalkeeper, kids kits, women’s fit and jackets, with retro seasons alongside the current 2026 kits.

Printing, delivery and returns

Name and number printing is free on this shirt. Choose a squad player and the number is applied as issued, or send any name and number you want. Printing adds one to two working days before dispatch, and printed shirts cannot be returned unless faulty — if unsure of the size, order it plain and we print it afterwards for the same price. Full detail on the printing page.

Tracked as standard, everywhere — packed flat between card, never folded into a bag. Allow 7–14 days from order to delivery.

Service	Time	Cost
Standard tracked	7–14 days	£3.95
Orders over £30	7–14 days	Free

The same rate applies to every country: free over £30, otherwise £3.95, tracked, in the same 7–14 days. Orders outside the UK may attract import duty on arrival, which is the customer’s responsibility. Full tables on the shipping page.

30 days from delivery to change your mind — longer than the 14-day statutory minimum. Email hello@shirt-archive.com with your order number before posting anything back; send it unworn with tags attached, and the refund goes to the original payment method within five working days of arrival. If we sent the wrong thing, postage is on us both ways. Full policy on the returns page.

Common questions

What is the difference between this and a standard replica?

This is the player-version cut: slimmer through the chest and body, shorter in the sleeve and tighter across the shoulders than the replica sold to fans. Most people order one size up from their replica size.

Can I get a name and number printed on it?

Yes — free, applied before dispatch, which adds one to two working days. Printed shirts cannot be returned unless faulty, so if you are unsure of the size, order plain and we print it afterwards for the same price.

How quickly will it arrive?

Allow 7–14 days from order to delivery, everywhere. Standard tracked is £3.95, and orders over £30 ship free to every country. Everything is tracked, including international.

Is the long-sleeve version the same fit as the short-sleeve?

The body is identical — only the sleeve differs. Size exactly as you would the short-sleeve shirt.

Can I return it if it does not fit?

Yes — 30 days from delivery, unworn with tags attached. Refunds go to the original payment method within five working days of the return arriving.
