    Hello, I just signed up for this group, and I hope to get some answers about a pair of trousers. I recently bought these secondhand, and I’m trying to find out if they are vintage or modern, but I can’t find a label that matches mine in your list of labels for this designer. I’m wondering if anybody here can help me?

    They look fairly modern to me.

    Thanks for taking the time to answer! I love them, even if they are modern, but vintage is just more fun, haha. I found some listed online with a similar tag, but they all say “Paris” on the tag, too.

    Some more info:

    I checked the WPL number and it belongs to The Men's Wearhouse, which was founded in 1973.

    P.S.: You look good on them.

    Oh, thank you so much! I love them, and I’m having a hard time deciding whether I should keep them or selll them, haha. I’m leaning more and more towards keeping them.

    From memory that looks like a 90s label to me, could be wrong, its more a gut feeling. Pretty sure I have seen 80s and 90s items with that style label though. I think they are menswear, the menswear line didn't always have the 'paris' during this time period. Likely sold as part of a pant suit.

    Also, they look fab! on you, definitely keepers!

    Edit: Theres a few on ebay just listed as 'vintage' without the specific time period, I can't post links as they are for sale but you can do a general search on ebay and find some with the same label.
