Oscar de la Renta mens velour bathrobe - help please with dating

[50sVintage]

Hi All,

Help please to date this Oscar de la Renta men's robe. I'm thinking 70s/80s based on the fact that it came from the estate of a man who was extremely large earlier in life but lost a great deal of weight in the 90s. I have no other clues.

Thanks in advance.

Mia

Actually, I found this site: http://independentmarket.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html
According to the RN number, the garment was made in or about 1968. Does that jive with what you experts think?

According to the RN number, the garment was made in or about 1968.

The RN number estimated issue date doesn’t indicate when a garment is made but simply the earliest it could have been made. RN numbers are used for many years after issuance, sometimes for multiple decades.

As to your robe, I am not an expert in such garments but would have said 80s. Let’s see what others think.

I see 80s too.

Thank you, Mary Jane & Victoria,
I agree with you - I'm going with 80s.
Thanks again!
