Thank you for this helpful article! The label resource guide was especially handy. I just opened my shop on DePop and I know this will be a great “fashion field guide” in my thrift-ventures!

Hello Sammy. I am having difficulty dating a beautiful tie neck wool blazer with metal buttons (a thrift store find) made by Mig Wear New York. It has a Made in USA tag sewn into the side seam, which also indicates the fabric content.

In what decade were these labels sewn into the side seams?

Thank you!

My mother recently passed away and she left me her entire wardrobe. My mother lived a wealthy lifestyle and her wardrobe cost a fortune. However, my life, though its been blessed, has not brought me the multiple milion dollar mansions or extensive walk~in closets that she had. In fact, I am oblivious to the fashion world. I do know by some of the brand names like; burberry, Christian dior, saks fifth, liz Claiborne, coach, Neiman Marcus, etc, and know they were not cheap. Nothing my y mother did was cheap. My mom was 76 when she passed so many of her 1000+ garments in her wardrobe are certainly vintage. I was going to drop most of it off at goodwill but havent cuz I new I was loosing a fortune by doing so. Can you help me? I would be willing to split the profit with you and since it was all free for us both then theres nothing but profit to gain. Let me know asap cuz its taking over my entire house. There are clothes in every room, every couch, chair, bed…. I am going crazy drowning in clothes.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Sincerely yours,

Katie

We own a designer consignment boutique and was in need of some information regarding designer labels. We understand that each brand changes there label each calender year? Is this correct?
If so is there a source where I could obtain this information?

Unfortunately, when garment production went overseas, the quality, for the most part, went way down.

For example I have a few garments from Lands End that were made in the USA, before Lands End outsourced almost everything. The USA made garments from the early 90s, even after many, many washes are heavier and better constructed than the equivalent styles of today. The present day Lands End garments are reasonably well made, but up against their former USA made garments, there is no contest as to which is better.
