Help with dating a Jaeger label that is not listed in the label resourse section of VFA

Hi...
I have this Jaeger Courtelle Sweater, and I have no idea the date of this label. I looked under the resources section of VFG, but do not see it listed. Anyone out there happen to know the proper date?
There is no sign of it ever having a care label attached, RN# etc. It looks to me like it may be from The 1990s, but I read somewhere on a website that detailed Jaegers history that they stopped manufacturing Jaeger in Great Britain in 1982...this particular label states that it was made in Great Britain. I'm a little stumped on this one. Any help will be appreciated.

I do agree it might be older.

That Courtelle logo appears on various adverts in the 1960s. Courtelle still exists, but somehow I don't see Jaeger making a feature of it in later years. I believe Courtelle was launched in the early 60s.

If it really never had a care label, that also indicates an earlier date.

Also even the phraseology of Made In Great Britain seems older - later labels are more likely to read Made in the UK. It's not set in stone, but it's something I've noticed.

Style-wise I'm not sure when that garment could be from. Maybe someone else will weigh in.
