Help Dating Vintage Aquascutum Coat

[Kbotvintage]

I recently bought this vintage Aquascutum coat and was wondering when it would be from. The store it would have been originally from (the top label) closed in the mid 80s and I have read the appointment to the queen mother means it’s from after 1952. I was hoping someone could help me identify more specifically when this coat would be from.

We had a long discussion about a coat with the same combination of royal warrants (it’s not exactly the same label though.)

It’s not entirely clear, but as you say it can’t be earlier than 1952 because of the Queen Mother warrant. That particular Prince of Wales warrant can’t have been used after 1972 when he (Edward) died. We also speculated that it might not have been used after 1958, when there was a new Prince of Wales (Charles). That’s not conclusive though.

Hi everyone.
I'd really like to know the approx age of one of my Aquascutum ladies coat. I thought maybe 1980s...all the labels I've found are not quite like this one. Please help!

Hopefully someone will weigh in dating based on the style of the coat

It’s also worth doing checking all over for any other labels (check pockets and seams)

Thank you so much!! I wasn’t sure if the Montreal and New York made it more recent. I haven’t found many tags that include the same combination of royal warrants with the North American locations. The store I got it from said 1980s but I had a feeling it was older and I have been super curious to know!!
