    Hi everyone.

    Here's a suit that looks totally 70s. But there's no fiber content info anywhere (burns as wool). Still, it looks awfully 70s to me, does it not? It's well made. Lots of nice details and beautifully cut. But what about those shoulders? Pretty 40s/80s! But the skirt, no way. And those lapels. Sheesh, totally 70s.

    There looks to be a sliver of union label (and yes, they were ILGWU), but hard to tell which. My guess is '63-74, as I see a hint of light blue, but not darker blue/red of post-'74. Checked Trademarkia and USPTO with lots of info but nothing definitive. 00140-001SMALL.jpg 00140-001intSMALL.jpg 00140-001tag2SMALL.jpg

    Thanks for help. I don't want to list something incorrectly, so I try to be double sure by asking you all.

    Thats how i listed it. Dont know if anyone is actually interested in wearing something like this, so priced it lowish despite pergect condition. We ll see what happens. Id say its more practical ad separates than an actual suit. The details are nice. Thanks ladies! Forgive my phone typong...

    Agree with '70s: it's a very classic suit.
