Oversized denim jacket with dragon motif - is this 80/90s or newer?

    Hello :)

    I'm not usually one to pick up denim items but at 99c, this jacket just spoke to me - it's so unusual! There are sequins and beads and glitter .. everything!

    Could anyone help me with dating? I couldn't find anything about the label of the jacket. Do you think the motif's were added and if so, can they be dated?

    Thanks!

    Oh yeah, I remember that particular bleached denim look from the 80s. I think we called it 'snow washed'.

    Yes to 80s! We call it stone-washed or acid-washed in the states.

    To me stone-washed wasn't as light as this - it wasn't bleached, just faded. Acid-washed yes, or bleach-washed.

    Just out of interest, this is how I see the difference:
