Hello all,
I have been purchasing older pendleton items for myself and others and have recently come across some labels types I have not seen before.
first I have seen that some of them seem to have the washable wool or dry clean instruction sown into the shoulder
I have seen some of them that say (c) 1960 and the labels do not have the wool mark this pretty well dates them to between 1960 and 1964.
the one in the photo does not say (c) 1960 but is still won in the same location and the shirt label does have the woolmark
since the care instructions label looks the same but without the copyright and since it is sown in the same location I'm assuming that these are from about 1964 - 1971.
I'm not sure but I have heard that in 1971 it was required to sew the label into a seam. Does anybody have a link or reference to this?
because that leads me to the next example
this kind has the same blue label with the woolmark but obviously the washing instructions and I have also seen dry clean tags sewn into the seam.
These I assume are sometime during the 70's because they started adding other labels later in the 70's and the 80's
I have pictures for this all but mostly tags only and not much for the garment itself since that method of finding style has proven over and over to not be good enough since pendleton seems to recycle their styles.
Can anyone verify these findings or add to this if I'm off in my analysis?
last I have this shirt that is a Sir Pendleton and it has the woolmark in a kind of strange location in that it protrudes into the bottom of the outline box
this one has a dry clean only label sown into the bottom seam of the shirt so I kind of assume that it is 70's but am looking for verification.
Thank you all.
