The Kitman is an independent UK retailer specialising in authentic vintage and classic football shirts, retro kits and football memorabilia.. Every shirt is individually checked for authenticity, with a constantly changing selection of vintage kits, modern football shirts, kids’ shirts, training wear and football memorabilia from clubs and national teams around the world.

Every shirt we sell is individually checked for authenticity before being listed. We inspect product codes, labels, manufacturing details and other identifying features wherever applicable, helping collectors buy vintage and classic football shirts with confidence.
As a UK-based specialist, we believe condition should be clear before you buy. Our 1–10 condition grading system gives you a straightforward indication of what to expect, whether you’re buying a near-mint 1980s shirt or a well-worn 1990s classic.
