Thanks Janine! I’m a bit knitwear obsessed :)

I was wondering the exact same thing

Oh wow that’s great you found out the brand. I’m sorry I don’t know of any specific sources. i know people sometimes have luck using the Gem app to search, it will search multiple vintage sites and I believe you save a search and get alerted when something comes up. similarly I’d set up a...

Agree with 90s. The label is similar to this 1990s ones from the label resource, that has the same outline font on the main label , with a separate care label underneath.

60s was my 1st thought too

Oh, and the traditional name for this style is Lusekofte or Setesdalsgenser (Setesdal sweater) - a Lusekofte means jacket, so usually opens fully rather than just at the neck, and traditionally has metal clasps rather than a zip - although modern ones have zips. But both terms seem to also be...

Yes this is a Norwegian style, which will be a better search term than Fair Isle to find something similar. I think it's going to be difficult to find an exact duplicate unless you commission it from a small business hand or machine knitter, who may be able to duplicate the exact pattern from...

I think it's a Nordic style - not strictly fair isle, which is the same technique as your sweater but uses different patterns. I will try and find some comparables for you.

Yes 80s. I remember this kind of thing well.

Thanks for posting that. The presence of the P indicates it's probably no earlier than mid-late 70s (post 1976). I still think it's 70s or possibly early 1980s. Thanks for sparking such an interesting discussion! I really love this jacket - those sleeves !

It’s great information you found!

To me the presence of the drying symbol (do not tumble dry in this case), and the wash tub with temperature only (no number), suggests mid-80s or later. I agree stylewise it looks 80s to me.

Back to the OP. Labels aside, the pleated shoulder line on the jacket really strikes me as late 70s or early 80s. Does anyone agree or disagree with me on that? This appears to be an identical jacket in case it's helpful to see more views and on a mannequin. FWIW the seller dated to early 80s...

great info. that second article implies they were making in Canada in 1973

We have an exact match for the sizing label on a late 70s label in label resource.

We discussed Made In Carno in another thread and reckoned it probably was phased out during the 80s and wasn’t common even in the early 80s. They opened a second factory 1984 and so Carno was no longer their only manufacturing place. I don’t think we’ve ever seen a Made In Carno from the 90s...

I think it’s earlier than that. Made in Carno Wales I believe denotes late 70s, (or possibly early 80s?) - as per the late 70s Carno label in the label resource, which appears to be an exact match for the size and fabric label here, although the button is covering up the logo part. To me the...

I agree with early 80s, or maybe late 70s. The lack of a drying symbol usually means no later than mid-80s (there are exceptions). If it is grey, I think it may have faded from black.

Amazing! Can we see the spider a little more closely?

I think some of us would definitely like to see an old baby book :)

Mid 80s in the UK.

Yes, the HLCC system included the (P) from 1976. However I'm not sure that means it was never used before 1976 in the UK. It was definitely in use earlier in Europe - the Netherlands registered it from at least 1960, so it wasn't invented by HLCC, and I wonder if their system was standardisation...

I suppose it could be early 80s. But 5% other fibres - there was a time when being so non specific about a fibre was acceptable, and then later that wouldn't have been allowed. I don't know exactly when that changed, but I'm not sure I've seen that on 80s garments much. Similarly Made In Great...

Looks 1970s by those labels.

Agree with early 70s. Very cute dress. The label with the red background to the logo is similar to the 1972 dress in label resource. Agree if there’s other labels or anything on the back of that label that might tell us more.

That works well done

I’m not sure why they aren’t showing, perhaps imgur hosting isn’t compatible with our forums for some reason . If you are able to upload rather than link, it would help you get a response. however there’s nothing suspicious about the links if anyone doesn’t mind clicking. It’s just a well...

I can’t advise on cleaning but just wanted to say how beautiful these are. Wonderful work.
