Dating on this Chore Jacket

[Chris Romero]

Hi,

I found this Golden Paddy indigo Chore jacket and couldn't find any info online to date it. Was wondering if anyone had any info based on the material, color, cut, hardware, or tags to discern when it was made. The only tag I could find on the garment was on the neck. I have a feeling it was custom made if that means anything when dating these. Lmk what yall think. Thanks

Chinese everyday clothing like Mao jackets were popular in the 70s and just into the early 80s. It's before the Chinese market started making Western styles, so I would suggest c. 1973-1980ish.

The size label points towards a mass-produced item - not custom made.
