I have got a great vintage men's Norfolk herringbone jacket. What would be the date on this? Fully lined. It has a Salem Sportswear label. Thanks in advance for your help!

I thought a Norfolk only had the half-belt in the back.
It is a great looking jacket, looking 70s to me but thats just a guess. Can you show the label? Any union labels in the pockets or hidden in a seam?

Yes, please post the label as that will help...it looks 70s to me as well from these photos.

Yep, from the collar width, 1970s. Norfolk can be half or full belted. They often have pleated or vented backs for movement.
It could be 30s, but need to see the label if there is one.

So here is a picture of the label, Salem Sportswear. Does anyone have any history on the company? There is no vent in the back.
I am wondering if the numbers would refer to the date on this so that would make it 1984. I'm not sure about this as I tried to go into the patent site and could not locate your number

BUT, of course this isnt from 1998!! Between the lapels and the label I'm thinking early 70s as well.

Ang~ I had run the same WPL into the system too, why does that show 1998? I KNOW this is not a 98 jacket. But sometimes, most of the time, that little RN-WPL # lookup is not correct information.
1998 is a default date on all of the RN numbers issued before 1998 when the the database was created online. The only time you get a true date is when a company was issued a number after 1998.

I wonder why their system has the default of 1998? (Just curious). I will go with 70's, Thanks everybody for your help.
