“New Issues” tag

[Elle Miles]

Hey all! Hope this finds you well I’m wondering the era of this tag. It’s a division of Johnathan Logan. I think 70s/80s but not 100% sure. Any info would be awesome.

Can you please post photos of the item. That will help in dating it.

 

[Elle Miles]

Oh yes! Sorry!

A March 1969 article stated: "Jonathan Logan has formed a new misses sportswear division called New Issues" so that will give you a rough start date for that division. I will see if I can find when it ended.

A March 1974 article reported: "New Issues, a sportswear division of Jonathan Logan, Inc., is reportedly being closed and will wind up its affairs shortly. The division was started four years ago by Logan."

Oh cool, we have a start & end date!

So anywhere from 1969-1974

Thank you for the kind words, but as I have said many times, I am only as good as are the databases to which I have access. FYI, the absolute best one for this kind of (vintage fashion) research is the Women's Wear Daily archives, which is apparently owned by/accessed through Proquest. I found that Proquest can usually be accessed through libraries, either public libraries (if they choose to subscribe to that Proquest package) or university libraries. If you want to track it down, you can contact the university you attended (or the company for which you work?) and ask if they offer remote research access to graduates.
