    San Francisco Wash & Dye Label ?

    I have searched high and low for this label and cannot find the company! The buttons say SFWD on them as well. This has simple labels. Does anyone have any information on this company? Based on it saying "made in Hong Kong" and the style I'm assuming it's 80s. Thanks!
