Dating a Tyber faux fur coat

Hi I'm really hoping for some help please.
I found this coat in a charity shop and my instinct says its vintage but I've struck out at finding what decade.
The lining is faded and shabby but it has an open hem lining, not seen anymore.
The sleeves are full length with a jacket type lapel collar.
Internal lining waist ties and the composition of the lining is acetate, if that helps!

Hi, first thing is the colour and font chosen for the label look 70's to me, and the shape of the coat, with those flared sleeves and wide lapel collar would fit. Acetate lining is also often found in 70's garments.

Thank you for having a look and taking the time to answer.
I had originally thought 50's until I was taking the photographs and noticed the wide lapel collar myself.
Still a good find for under £10
 
While care symbols were around by the 50's it's extremely rare to see them on anything from that period, you tend to see perhaps one or two symbols on 60's garments, but not this many until the 70's. The final 5th symbol for tumble drying is added in 1985.~
Definetly a bargain at £10 :) I'm sure there's still a foggy day or too left in this british spring when you could wear it!

Of course, yes, now you've explained about the symbols. Excellent tip for dating items in future, thank you.
Yes definitely a bargain, especially seeing as the fabric manufacturer is still one of the foremost in the world, for faux fur.
Again, thank you very much for your expertise ;-)
