    How to date \'empire made\' cotton gloves

    I've yet to find a clear explantion of when the 'empire' ended but from looking at similar items online I gather alot with these labels on are 50's, 60's era I have also seen some with very similar 'streaky' cotton but I don't know if this is common of the era or just a popular choice of material for gloves. When worn the the fingers have four seams, rather like the old fur lined winter gloves. Other than this I don't really know how to refine the date of them much. I though if anybody knows something about the label that might be the key.
