No problem, Ben. At least I didn't make a total fool of myself and told this was the best 30s suit I had ever seen. The features I noted on my last reply are interesting regardless of age. (Sans the tiny lapels that are just plain silly)

I haven't checked my jackets/suits. They're quite far away right now. I also don't know the veracity of the information in the blog I quoted/linked. However, it is safe to say that old labels would be used after the date that new ones were introduced. Also possible that very old stock was circulated into the shops well after it was made? As with all these dating techniques, the new label is the important one. If it has that label, it can't be before 1936, for example … assuming that information is accurate.
