Beautiful coat.

I think it’s probably circa 1980s but not sure.

Because of the wool mark, the earliest it could be is 1964, but I don’t think it’s that old.

That Scottish wool label, with the thistle, next to the wool mark, is interesting, I have seen it before but not often. I wonder how long it was in use. I found some trademark info which gives a date range of 1959 to 2001, but I think it probably fell out of use long before the trademark was cancelled.



I have observed elsewhere that ‘makers of weatherproof garments’ starts to drop off the labels in the 80s, but this is a subjective opinion, not a certainty

The combination of labels is giving me an 80s vibe, but I’d be interested in other opinions.

Someone may know by the styling of the coat.

Gorgeous piece anyway, lovely fine herringbone weave.
