Help me date this cheetah print button down shirt

I am not sure about this one... couldn't find out anything about the company so far. I see their clothing on Etsy, Ebay and Poshmark, it all looks to be 90s and newer at first glance. As far as I know, not much clothing is produced in the USA anymore, so this is maybe on the earlier side of the this company's existence. I would hazard a guess late 90s to early 00s.

 

agree, it looks not so vintage to me...and, honestly, it looks more like sleepwear than casual wear.

oh, and for point of reference, your cute top would be a "button-front" or "button up" top, rather than a button-down. Button down typically refers to the COLLAR being buttoned down, like this:

 

Agree with late 90s/early 2000s. The RN belongs to American Apparel Packages (not sure how that relates to American Apparel)

It's cute and looks very cozy. It could be sleepwear as Mary suggests.

The VFG uses the 20 year rule to define how old something has to be to count as truly vintage, (same as Etsy). Meaning 1990s and the year 2000 is vintage, but not later than that. So this is borderline, possibly old enough to be seen as vintage, depending exactly where on the 1990s/early 2000s it falls.

Also, looking at the labels, the one that Samantha posted and Carla's, Samantha's has not copyright symbol so I think hers is from 1993, as the following year the trademark was granted

 

Interesting, that the same brand uses two different RNs, which appear to be registered to different companies. I don't know why that would be, but I don't really know how RN numbers function.

 

I assume one company acquired the other

 

Good call.
