Help dating three Dereta jackets with similar labels,

[Impey]

Hi all

I hope you can help!

I’ve recently come across three lovely Dereta jackets/blazers in quite different styles but with very similar labels. I’d love your input in terms of what era you think each might be…I suspect they are all 70s, possibly early eighties based on built on shoulder pads but would be great to have your thoughts about age and also how you would describe the jacket style!

purple velvet jacket in cotton/viscose mix
Brown velvet floral jacket in cotton
Brown houndstooth riding-style jacket - wool

With thanks for any insights you can offer!

Oh! I'm seeing different decades, 70's (floral) & 80's for the purple velvet (also possibly 60's (or early 70s) for the crop jacket)

Ohhhh thanks GemGem - the purple velvet does remind me of some of the 80s style. Also the sizing is closer to modern which would fit with eighties. Interesting about the crop one I hadn’t thought earlier!

It's just a guess at this point, many more experienced people here than me . Does the cropped one have shoulder pads? It looks to have a lot of structure to the shoulders, can you check? If they are foam then it will be 80's rather than potentially 60's/70's

The flowery one 70s, but I'm seeing 80s as well in the short one. The purple one strikes me as 80s as well.

There is some minor shoulder padding internally - although I would say less than the purple velvet.

I also see 1980's on the purple and cropped jackets, but I'm not sure on the floral/print.
