IS this Hudsons Bay Co alpaca wool poncho 70s or 80s?

Wondering where you'd put this in the 70s to 80s range?
Thanks a lot,
Lauren

Lauren, I would say it is 60s. The Bay started using bilingual labels in 1970. Lovely colours!

Here is a very informative site - It's the HBC FAQ's page.

Purple was such a hugely popular colour in 1969-70, I wouldn't be surprised if this dates from then.

Thanks everyone! Nothing like -32 deep freeze to get you thinking about Hudsons Bay.
