I’ve heard the argument before about it being too long after Jesus death .. or before Jesus death .. but the real date was proven by “The Face of Jesus”. One of the reasons for the date argument was the extra piece of cloth on one edge. It was purported to be a different date than the rest of the cloth. It turned out, there was documentation which proved the cloth had been damaged at some point, and when it was repaired, the cloth was (of course) slightly different than the original.

More than "slightly different" . . . try 1500 years different. They think the patch was applied sometime in the late 1500s.

The fire was in 1532, so it was after that date that the damaged cloth was cut away and the new cloth was added to the shroud.
