    Thank you for clicking on this! I recently bought a vintage David Paul New York button down. The pattern is so unusual, I'd like to know if there's a specific name for the shirt. There are lots of numbers on the tag (see below), but I can't find anything about it through a Google search, nor can I find a picture of the same shirt anywhere. The David Paul New York label doesn't appear to be in the label resource yet, either.
    RN 88914
    Style # 24-7831
    Lot # 6249/1974 <----- Is this the year?

    If anyone knows anything about this or knows where I could find out more, please let me know. Thanks!

    Thanks for replying! I have responded with photos, which I hope are helpful. I'm curious if the item or at least the pattern has a name, too.
    Thanks again!

    I would describe the pattern as toile pastoral. I don't know the label but my guess is 80s

    I would call the pattern a "Toile de Jouy."

    From the look of the label it looks like it must be from the 1990s as the company was established in 1992. So it's a ladies blouse as the buttons do up on the left and this company states it is categorized under Women's Outerwear. That sort of print is called toile de jouy.

    D A M Clothing Inc is a privately held company in New York, NY and is a Single Location business.

    Categorized under Women's and Misses' Outerwear, Nec. Our records show it was established in 1992 and incorporated in New York.

    SO much help in so little time! Thank you all for the interesting information. I would have never known it was categorized as outerwear! Or guessed the mid '90s, for that matter. Thanks again, Ladies, and Happy Mother's Day!
