Hangtags often contain some information about the date, season, and lot of the garment, but the exact number of years depends on how well the brand labels and how transparent the information is.
Year Code:Some brands use a specific coding system on hang tags, including the year the product was manufactured. This may come in the form of numbers, letters, or combinations, corresponding to a specific year.
For example, some brands may use the last two digits to indicate the year, such as:"21"May mean 2021. In this case, you can find the year information from the specific code on the tag.
Season Marking:The tag may contain information about the season in which the product belongs, such as spring, summer, fall, or winter. This can help you locate when the product was produced and roughly guess the year from it.
Batch Number:Some brands will provide a batch number on the hang tag, which can be interpreted as a batch of products produced. You may be able to know the year of the product by looking up the production cycle and batch information of the brand.
However, it is important to note that not all brands provide explicit year information on hang tags. Some brands may focus more on basic product information, focusing on size, materials, and brand identity and ignoring detailed production information. In this case, it is difficult to determine the vintage style of the product through the hang tag.
If you don't have enough information on the hangtag and you want to see the date or year of manufacture of the garment, you can try looking for words like "date of manufacture", "season", "lot number" on the hangtag, or look up information about the code In addition, the brand's official** or customer service department may provide details about the product, including the year of manufacture.
Overall, while some brands provide information on hangtags that can be interpreted, not all cases are created equal, so it's a good idea to consider a combination of hangtags, inner labels, washes, and official sources when tracking vintage styles.
