Dickies tag

Hi - does anyone know when this Dickies tag is from? I picked up a couple of plain shirts from a charity shop for £1 each and can’t find much information about this particular label. I’m hoping they are genuine but at least I won’t have lost much if they turn out to be off. Btw, this is my first post - I look forward to learning much from these forums. Thanks.

 

Hi,

Not sure you tried very hard in your research.

Dickies is a Global workwear brand, established in 1922, Wikipedia has a full writeup on the brand.

Still at £1.00 each, not a bad buy and I believe they still sell something similar today.

 

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I am very much aware of Dickies, that’s why I bought the shirts. My question was regarding the specific tag that I photographed. I was wondering what year/decade this tag is from as I can’t find this particular tag when searching.

 

Hi Midge,

I read the forum rules so am aware that questions cannot asked regarding authentication - I was just making a general comment about my hope that the shirts were genuine.

Here are pictures of the care label, both sides and also a pictures of the stitching on the sleeve and hem.

Thank you for your help!

The care labels look modern to me

 

I dunno, I think the symbols on the care label were all around in the late 80’s and the material blend was also popular in the late 80’s as well as the single stitch, so I’m wondering if this could be from that era?

If anyone else had any thoughts that would be great!

 

the barcode is just the price tag from the charity shop.

 

I am in the UK but it doesn’t say where they were made. The only labels are the ones that I posted.

 

They might be Dickies scrubs work wear?

 

That might be a good suggestion, they do look like that sort of thing but I couldn’t find anything that was an exact match on Google.

 

Thank you Ruth, that is helpful!

 

I assume you read their website history?

thanks for that. I did have a look on their site but can’t find anything resembling the tag I posted.

 

Hi,

I have been very curious about the label so have been doing a little more delving but not sure what I have will help or you may already know.

Much of the Dickies short sleeve workwear I have viewed have two breast pockets not one which is what made me think the shirts might be part of their Scrubs Workwear.

I could not originally find anything that remotely looked like the label logo and colours used.

You will already be aware of their standard colours in their logos/labels although I did find a couple of variations.

Also, most of the short sleeve shirts have two labels, the other attached to a sleeve or bottom of shirt but again standard colours.

I did trawl through eBay and found a couple of Dickies Shirts whose labels came damn close, White/Blue but no other information to be had.

However a little more perseverance and if legit, I think your shirts were made in Portugal or Bulgaria and not for the UK market, 80s into 90s

This info came from Dickies themselves.

Lastly and I didn't know this, while Dickies clothing is still available most places, if I understand correctly, from the manufacturing side of things they have all but shut shop at least in Europe.

 

Thank you so much for looking into this - your investigative skills are much more sophisticated than mine! The information that you found is very helpful.

I found this picture and the label on the bottoms right, although only a portion of it is visible looks to resemble the one on my shirts.
