MY THOUGHTS

Well I needed an Icelandic football shirt and the only team that I could find was Valur FC. After a few months I decided to take the plunge and purchase the shirt. It took me about 2 months to fully receive all of this shirt from when I bought it to when I am uploading this to the website. When I initially bought it and opened the package it came without any tags attached which was a frustrating thing to experience as this shirt is the most expensive shirt that I have bought up until today. I contacted the manufacturer and asked them why it didn't come with any as all other Macron shirts come with them attached. After some back and forth it was confirmed that Macron would create and send me out some one of a kind, specific tags for me to attach to the shirt. After some chasing up they confirmed that they had been created and that they would be with me shortly. This was correct and I was able to pair together my initial shirt and the personal tags to create the ultimate shirt. It may have taken longer than I would have hoped but I now have in possession one of the rarest and unique shirts a collector could possible have. The design of the shirt is awesome too which also helps.
