I have an addiction to vintage clothing labels. I have been obsessed with buying authentic 50s and 60s clothing the past few weeks. Here are some of my favorite finds and their tags. Everything here is 50s-60s with the exception of the John Henry (due to it having care instructions, making it 70s).
