Hello everyone,
It's me needing help again. I would value your opinions on dating this jacket. It is synthetic velvet with faux fur trim. Actually, the back of the velvet is disintegrating into dust. It is lined. The buttons look like yarn is wound around them, and the loops elastic. Thanks.

Hi Joanne, your coat is saying early 1970s to me - but lets see what the rest of the team have to say. The label seems to have been added on as the stitching is not original by the look of it, or perhaps it fell off and the original owner tried to sew it back on?.
The crushed velvet was probably fused to interfacing to give it more body, and that is what is disintegrating inside- we call it devil dust here!
I have not seen this label before, it would be great to find out more about it.
