What an interesting article--thanks for posting!
The only link between labels and vintage clothing was the quote by the Sartorialist blogger:
'He believes labels are an important design feature that denote quality and even add value like an artist’s signature on a print. Indeed, vintage clothes with intact labels sell for higher prices than those without. “We all like to complain about labels but we secretly love them,” Mr. Schuman said.'

Something interesting I learned from Chris Kluge, whose family owned a label factory: The reason modern labels are scratchy is because of the process used to make them. Originally, labels were made on small looms, like ribbons. They had a smooth selvage. But today labels are made on larger looms and then are cut and the edges fused. The fused edge is hard, and scratchy. That's progress!
