Besiktas
Short answer: Besiktas shirts are listed here in Fan Edition and Replica, plus retro designs where we carry them. Fan Edition is lightweight and relaxed, Replica is dense and slightly tapered. Choose the version, then check the size chart once.
Fan Edition compared with Replica, side by side
Two builds, one crest: what actually differs
Everything below describes the Besiktas stock we are holding right now.
Think of Fan Edition as the shirt for wearing and Replica as the shirt for keeping. The lighter build creases less, breathes better and drapes loosely; the heavier build holds a crisp shoulder line and photographs well when framed. Consider who it is for. A supporter who follows every match generally wants the current shirt in the relaxed cut. Someone who collects wants the heavier build and often a retro piece as well. Gift buyers should stay with the relaxed cut and lean on the size chart.
Making it last
What follows is written for someone buying club shirts for the first time.
Creases from folding drop out on their own within a day. Hanging the shirt in a steamy room speeds that up without putting heat anywhere near the print. Stains come out best when treated early with an oxygen-based remover. Bleach should stay away from anything carrying a crest or a nameset, on white shirts included.
Everything else, folded away
◆Care notes — keeping the crest and the knit in shape
Cold water, a short cycle and a low spin keep the knit and the print in shape.
- Wash at 30°C or cold, on a short cycle.
- Turn inside out so the crest is not rubbed against the drum.
- No fabric softener — it coats the knit and dulls the colour.
- Air dry; a tumble dryer shortens the life of a printed nameset.
- Iron on the reverse only, never straight onto a print.

Answered
◆How do I choose between home and away for Besiktas?
Home is the shirt most supporters picture and the safest gift. Away is the pick if you already own the home shirt, or if the away palette happens to match what you wear day to day. The Besiktas listing above is the place to confirm your size.
◆What is Retro in your range?
Retro pieces are designs from earlier eras rather than the current season. They follow the same size scale as the rest of the range but use period-correct colours, collars and badge shapes. On this page that covers the Besiktas stock we hold.
◆What sizes are available for Besiktas?
Men's runs S to 5XL, women's XS to 3XL, and youth covers the standard youth range. Availability shifts with stock, so the size list on each product page is the exact set you can order today. On this page that covers the Besiktas stock we hold.
◆How do I keep the crest looking sharp?
Wash inside out and avoid rubbing the badge against zips or velcro in the drum. Storing the shirt folded rather than on a wire hanger also prevents shoulder distortion. On this page that covers the Besiktas stock we hold.
◆Can I buy two Besiktas shirts in matching sizes?
Yes. Ordering the same cut in two sizes is common for families and for couples. Both are fulfilled as separate listings, so each size is selected on its own page. On this page that covers the Besiktas stock we hold.
In short
Nothing here replaces the product page: the listing states the exact build and nameset for each shirt.
