Tommy Hilfiger

[DeCoDiVa]

Do we have any label info on Tommy? I didn't see anything in the forum or label resource.

By online accounts, it looks like the TH brand started in the mid 80s. Perhaps post a photo of the item to help date it?

Hi,

Now that you have reminded me, I have his 20th Century Survival label from circa 1981. I will take a pix and post that to the resource.

Look forward to seeing it, Barbara.

There are a lot of articles out there, but here is some trademark info that you may find useful:

This shows the first use anywhere as being 1982 for the Tommy Hilfiger brand:

This shows his 20th Century Survival as having started in 1980 and ending in 89, if I'm reading it correctly

Unfortunately, his earliest label People's Place does not have any info:

the Tommy years

thanks for the info all!
I have a plaid shirt I believe to be a least 20 years old. I know he started early, survived, restructured and is still going..so I wondered how to we (VFG) vintage vendors etc, refer to his lineage of designs?
I will post pix of plaid this weekend.
