Looks like just a store code, with possible size ("R37"). I think your dating is probably correct. Here's a later (dated 1954) Barker's label from a Harris tweed jacket:
late 80s - early 90s.
Jimmy Walker wore one in office back in the day......You would wear fur lapels to the office?
Lookin' sharp, as ever, Frank! :eusa_clap
And Dinerman wins the day, as per – must be some kinda thrifting heaven where you are, squire!
Here's my 1940s Crombie, tailor-made in Dudley according to the label, which I'm about to repair part of the lining of, having torn it slightly, in preparation for the snowy weather we've got coming to the UK this week...
And my Christmas present from Lady Badger, which I've just retrieved from the tailor's – I had the massive shoulder pads reduced, as when wearing a structured jacket, the shoulders were nearly up by my ears! The smaller pads also give me a much-needed extra half-inch or so in the sleeve length...
Thanks for the complement , and I love the coat with the faux fur , but man my eyes keep going back to those shoes , really nice !
All the Best , Fashion Frank
