Dating Help: (60s?) Denim Jacket With ACWA Tag

[CRAZYBUBBA]

I'm confused as far as this jacket goes.

The union tag has a copyright of 1949 apparently they stopped using this tag in 1968. Ikewewe from ebay says that the red numbers might indicate that it's older.

It's doesn't have any care tags even though it's in mint condition, so it couldn't be from the 70s. I'm thinking late 60s. It certainly doesn't look like a 50's chore jacket.

Am I correct? or could it be 50s?

There was a link posted on this board that showed the different variations of that textile workers label that would more narrowly date it, but I cannot seem to find it. Perhaps someone will come along and post it again...

"Sanfordized" as a term started being used in the 1930s, but that doesn't help as we know this is much later. I'll have to click on the pics and get a closer look. Kind of interesting to see that Union label pop up in central america..

well, we grade clothing which comes from american thrift stores, so it's not that unusual.

Is there a copyright date on the sewing machine label? I have the following notes -

c1936 used til 1939
c1939 used til 1949
c1949 used til 1968

Thanks for the lead.

My tag has the registered copyright symbol as listed here.

It appears to be a 1962-1968 garment

It looks like the last one - I see the circled R on it. Its the one that was from 1962-1976
