Dunn & Co Waistcoat

[Two Types]

This is an odd one. The waistcoat is rather ornate and is difficult to age. I don't know much about Dunn & Co labels. I was thinking it might date to the late 1940s, early
1950s Edwardian revival. It doesn't seem to fit with any other period.
What do others think?

i think it's late 60s 'peacock' period.

Yeah that's quite a late label. Dunn & Co Labels are quite a good dating guide - quite distinctive in different eras.

Has anyone put together a Dunn & Co label guide? I'd be interested to see one.

There was a thread in "Hats" I think. The crown liners, IIRC, quite closely resemble the clothing labels in the different eras.

Later manufacture could put it in the Carnaby Street era; I can see it working, though personally I'd pair the likes of this with Ted wear...
