United Colors of Benetton - Kids Wool Jacket

[Francisco Pereira]

Hello VFG, this is my first post over here. I've found this United Colors of Benetton kids wool jacket and I'm trying to figure out from what time is it exactly. Attached are pictures of the wool jacket and all the tags. From what I could tell after reading the VFGs label resource,this jacket is part of the 012 line, which means it ran from 1972 to late 80s. What I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to tell if the jacket is from the 70s or 80s. The 012 tag picture in the VFGs label resource is dated as a 80s piece, and the tag is different from the one in the wool jacket, so maybe it's older, hence from the 70s? Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome,

Cute jacket. Great that you’ve provided photos of the attached labels, as well. Since it is European made, the 5 care symbols with the dryer at the end points to it having been made between 1985 and 2004. Since your research shows Benetton 012 label was only in use until the late 80s then your jacket dates from mid to late 80s.
