Hi all,
a guy is selling at a fair price a nice Burberry coat that I would like to buy, it seems in very nice condition and looks original as far as I can tell.
I would like to know, from the more expert here, an approximate dating and a confirmation that it's original.
I know that the label with Burberrys with the "s" is pre-1999, and I read that the apostrophes before and after Burberrys in this label were removed in late 80s, it has also composition and care label so, even though I don't know when these were introduced, my guess is that it's from the 80s.
This because I have a trench that I bought in 1975 and it has no composition/care label.
My trench has the main label sewn only on three sides, the lower one is not sewn, allowing to see a small label behind it that in mine is completely faded. This one has the label sewn on all four sides, I suppose because it has the size/order number in a separate label, while before these infos were in the small white label behind the main one. Am I correct?
Does anyone know when the size/order label was added? Is there any way to know, from the numers in this label, the approximate manufacture date of the item?
Any info is very welcome, below a few pics.
Thank you very much in advance
