Help dating Bogner label

[TurtleRay]

Hello! I am looking for help dating a pair of Bogner stirrup pants. So far in my research, I've found that they are a German sportswear brand.

Label says "Bogner. Silk elastic. Pure silk and nylon. Clean with a damp cloth, do not hot [Bugein - not sure what this means]." The label looks older than their current label, but I haven't been able to find any information about how old. There is a second, tiny label that says "Norm. 40"

Any help dating would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Not sure of the translation, but they look 60s to me.

Bogner is a popular ski-wear brand that's been in business since 1932.

Maybe "hot" is actually iron... do not iron?

Did you check out the company website's own history page? It has several vintage videos (which I have not viewed). Maybe one them will show a shot of the label.

Agree with '60s on a date - and I suspect your model is wearing them back to front. The side zipper is usually on the left hand side, with the tabbed waist towards the back, not the front.

Thank you all! I'll check out the videos, and rephotograph the model.

The text under the name reads "Nur mit feuchtem Tuch und nicht zu heiss bügeln" - Iron only with a damp cloth and not too hot. I find the combination of silk and nylon rather intriguing. Bogner isn't just a well-known ski wear brand, they are also pretty high-end. Reminds me of seeing a lady on the gondola last winter, who was dressed from head to toe in matching Bogner - ski suit, gloves, goggles, (fabric covered) helmet, boots and the skis too. That whole getup must have cost positively a fortune... Now if you're skiing and you want to make it clear to everybody that you've got money, that's it.

Thanks Midge, that is really helpful! Yeah, the nylon - silk blend is kind of weird. The fabric feels rougher . I would never have guessed it has silk in it if the tag didn't say.

If you email them at [email protected] they can date it for you, they were very helpful dating my 80's ski jacket to 86-89, and could have pinpointed the date had the care label not washed away , they used the brand label instead.
