I have handled a decent few Hercules jackets but have never come across one with a Union Made tag......I sorta ****ed that Herc label as a later vintage than would be the period I would expect to possibly see a Union tag.

Can anyone give at least a rough time period with the Union tags were prevalent and when they ceased to be sewn into garments?? This tag has a copyright date of 1949 so the jacket is that year or later.

I can't speak to tags in leathers, but union tags are common in wool jackets and suirs until the 1990s. They start to disappear then with the union workers....
