It is a tough one, but the wool body is incorrect. I am trying to determine if this is a Janke which has had a replaced lining/sweatband (what I call the "Janke Franky"), or an entirely new creation out of Asia (wool looks typical for the Asian repros of late). Either way, I do not believe there are any original parts. Good, but nowhere near perfect.

Eventually, you will see originals deconstructed, analyzed and reproduced and even pre-aged to almost total perfection. And, to think...it used to be Soooo easy and simple to collect back in the day.....

This one would have got me.

The grey wool overall reminds me of BW , that would have made me sit up and take more into account,but the near pristine condition would have given me some doubts, apart from that the only other thing would have been the sweat band

Here is an example of what I call "Asian Trikot"--it is nothing like genuine TR Trikot:

Having compared the two by the photos, i would say the first is different, it looks more "fluffy" for want of a better word and the grooves look closer together,I dont know if its me or the photos but the weave also looks different, would this be correct?

[spandau]

Thats good. the insides are very good.

Cloth lets it down but I would have paid money for that a few years ago had i not had the benefit of this forum.

cheers
