Date check on Hooded Corduroy Jumpsuit?

[retro ruth]

Hi again,

I'd like to check my dating on this jumpsuit - I'm thinking 70s, late?

Metal zip at front with 'AC' on the tag. The legs have been shortened, and I think the arms have too, perhaps it originally had long sleeves. There is largish label in the neck but any text has faded completely away.

Thanks

I would have said 1978ish because of the material and hood but for that colour - turquoise is SO 1980-81ish

Agree with Jonathan--I had a jumpsuit almost identical to that color, but not velour, in the very early 80s.

Thanks - I had exactly the same thoughts about the colour - I do remember it, just - that's actually why I was questioning it. It's corduroy, not velour, but it is a rather velvety one.

oops, yup, I didn't see the part about corduroy. duh on me! But in the pictures it looks very soft, like velour!
