Wondering if anyone knows the age on these long johns?
Thanks for any info.
They are mens or male anyway.
I see this label as 1950s but have never heard of it. Possibly someone is familiar with it.

I am actually getting a later feel on these and even the label. Here is an ad from 1959 where I note that Duofold is not written the same as it is on your label. I went to USPTO.gov and checked and found the document I attached which indicates your logo wasn't first used in commerce til 1964 (hoping you can read - text is so tiny and my eyesight is fast failing :). I am actually thinking 70s but that part is solely just a gut instinct on my part. The size 16 makes me think junior boys size. This type of stuff has been selling well lately for some other menswear sellers that I chat with on Facebook. Best of luck - I love the red color!

ETA: I believe Duofold is a Champion brand nowadays.

My first impression was also 70's, just based on gut reaction from the label colours and that size in a circle (thinking of labels I have seen this doesn't generally appear until at least the 60's).

I can see why you thought them very English! we still have a stall selling this sort of underwear on the market here - and we need them! I was reading in the paper today England has been colder than Alaska recently.
