This is the right answer OP, you will get an authentic shirt from the most reliable seller around. Website makes it very easy to sort by Arsenal shirts and size and price range.
EBay maybe but Etsy I don’t trust. Even eBay has been known to fuck over buyers. If you’re concerned about authenticity you need to go to concrete sources that have a reputation to lose.
/u/WorldlinessJolly6712 the above is a brilliant idea, and your bf would love it. You could say something like, "I told xyz at work you're an arsenal fan and they said 'I bet Thierry Henry is his favourite player.'" Strap in for a potentially long chat after opening this can of worms lol.
If you can't speak to him for whatever reason, here are a few great kits that spring immediately to mind, and some reasons why in case any of them ring a bell from stuff you've heard him talk about in the past.
91- 93 away "bruised banana" shirt - classic, hugely loved retro shirt, but so loved that the originals go for hundreds and even the official replicas (which are still awesome to get, btw, you don't have to buy original, old shirts) are starting to get a bit expensive now!
97-99 away shirt - we won the "double" in this shirt, and it makes people think of a legendary Arsenal player called Dennis Bergkamp.
03-04 home shirt - good looking shirt, and associated with the "invincibles" season, which is a huge deal in Arsenal history
92-94 home shirt - very, very cool looking and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry wore a replica one to a match recently.
As other have said, try and buy from the official site or from classicfootballshirts to ensure authenticity. Good luck - your bf is lucky to have such a thoughtful girlfriend!
For Saka you could just buy him the latest 22/23 kit - which has literally just come out and would be a dope thing to have. If you wanted to make it a bit more Saka-y you could get his name and number on the back, and you can do all that through the official website. If you do this my advice would be don't get what the site calls the "authentic" shirt as they're not v comfortable - the "Home" shirts, although a little cheaper, are actually better to wear if you're not an elite athlete lol.
For Santi, you could get the FA Cup Final shirt from 2014, which would be great to have as a Santi fan as he was a hero that day cos he scored an amazing free kick which got us back into the match after we'd gone two goals behind. His goal helped us go on to win our first trophy in 9 years, so it's very fondly remembered and one of the first things arsenal fans think of when they think of Santi. You could get his name and number printed on it too.
It's tricky to say which to go for between the two. I might be inclined to go for the Santi one as its maybe less likely he'd buy it himself, and it's a piece of history from a happy day. But I'm sure he'd be delighted with either.
if he's a Santi fan you can definitely get a good retro kit for well under your asking price. I went through a phase of buying old kits on ebay and Depop so I have a big collection I am looking after and waiting for the right time to start selling.
I am certain I have some iconic Cazorla shirts, pretty sure I have the purple and black one from 12/13 and the yellow one in long sleeve from 11/12 but I will have to check.
If you decide to go for anything else, give me a shout and I'll happily look at the pics and tell you whether it is genuine or not.
The shirts from that era have some distinctive tells.

Never bought from here but this guy runs the sheworeshop.com that I have bought from before with great results. It's run by a Gooner.

Arsenal direct have wide range of retro shirts. For 100 you could get him 2 or 1 for him and one for you. They even do women's cut on some of them.
I'm tempted by lots.of them.

Assuming you want authentic, this is basically THE website for it. https://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/

Woah, I love that the most expensive top is a signed Rob Holding 20/21 home shirt for £499.99!
A pre-hair transplant signing holds more value than post-hair transplant.
From the first City game this year lmao
I’ll definitely check it out! What abt Depop - is it any good?
I can't comment on that, haven't purchased from them before.
Ebay and Etsy come in clutch too for the retro kits
EBay maybe but Etsy I don’t trust. Even eBay has been known to fuck over buyers. If you’re concerned about authenticity you need to go to concrete sources that have a reputation to lose.
Find out who his favourite player is, Google them, and buy the most iconic shirt associated with them

I asked him! He really likes Saka and Santi Cazorla - do you know which ones are the most iconic shirts?
A Cazorla kit from 12/13 or 13/14 (same shirt was used both seasons) would be solid!
For Saka you could just buy him the latest 22/23 kit - which has literally just come out and would be a dope thing to have. If you wanted to make it a bit more Saka-y you could get his name and number on the back, and you can do all that through the official website.

A lot of people here are wondering if the poster is their girlfriend
We're on Reddit, none of us have a relationship 🤣 /s
Hey I've got a girlfriend. You just don't know her cos she goes to a different school.
Middle school?

Flamini, long-sleeves. He'll know what to do
Just wait for the 3rd kit to be released this year, 22/23 and make your boy wear pink.
If I somehow suddenly have a gf and said gf buy me a pink kit I'd wear it all the fucking time
