More expensive, don't know if it's still a good deal

Last one for today, and arguably the one that I liked the most, but it's crying for some TLC

I don't know if this is a good deal or not (don't know nothing about vintage stuff), but there were some keywords that people around here seem to like, and was cheap enough, I guess. Anyway, here it is:

As I said, I have no clue, but I believe people around here will know better (as you already showed)

I have handled a decent few Hercules jackets but have never come across one with a Union Made tag......I sorta pegged 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....

I owned one of these. The mouton lining was crumbling apart just like the one in the link.

Is that why you didn't keep it? It fit you really well.

The mouton on yours looked to be much nicer than the one in the link.
