    Hi everyone-I have this Woolrich oversized jacket that I'm looking to list, but I'm honestly at a loss as to whether this piece is vintage or not. I ran a search but couldn't find anyone inquiring about a Woolrich with a leather label in the past. It seems as though Woolrich pieces are particularly hard to date...Pictures of all tags + the item itself are below, all input is appreciated, thank you!

    It looks not earlier than 80's/90's to me from that label (particularly the old school computer font). I was about to say being made in the U.S.A might well confirm it wasn't very new and place it more confidently towards vintage, as so much is made abroad today - however rather strangely it says both Made in the U.S.A., and then (in french) made in the E.U. My geography's pretty poor but even I know that can't be possible.

    I would go with 80s on this one as well.

    EU stands for l'États Unis in this instance - not European Union. Woolrich is a US Company, founded in 1830 and based in Pennsylvania. You could contact them and ask when they used this label but I agree with '80's on this one.
