I quite agree. I love the detail and effort that went into labels of the past. Been more than once that the label was big influence on a jacket or fedora purchase

Here is a great History of the Albert Richard label. I see now through identical jackets, that Fried Osterman in Milwaukee WI produced jackets for the Sears Company.

View attachment 316322 View attachment 316323 Another Canadian that caught a 2nd look because of the label. Not even really leather but a really cool unique label.

I saved this Label for my Label Achieve. I have saved quiet a few through the yeas. I find them as interesting as the garments themselves. I find the Montgomery Ward labels the most interesting and varied, also the most confusing to date. I have been able to use labels to date garments.
