Hey Danny,
Thanks for the compliment.
Since I don’t have the original sales receipts for these and can’t be sure what year they were actually marketed/sold, I can only go by the numbers stamped on the head badges. The men’s is 2704 and the ladies is 0365. I do believe that you are correct, these things started happening in 84 as mfg shifted from Chicago to Taiwan.
On another note, we haven’t seen many pics of your collection lately. Post up some of your latest work. Would love to see ‘em!
