Tips for Identifying Vintage Items

1. Check the Label

   • Look for labels from brands that were prominent in past decades, such as "Made in the USA" tags from the '70s or '80s.

   • Identify any outdated logos or tags, such as those from companies that have since rebranded, like J.Crew or Levi's.

   • Look for care instructions. Garment care labels were introduced in 1971. If a piece does not include care instructions it is often made before this requirement was enforced.
