Japanese Kimono

[stephanie4989]

Is anyone familiar with this tag. Wondering if it’s a vintage kimono. Any help would be Appreciated

It would be best to provide photos of the garment itself, too. Is there any other writing on the labels (ie: care instructions, etc) or any other labels present?

That said, the style of the label (which I don't recognize, sorry!) and the metallic gold embellished cotton? fabric looks quite 1990s to me but wait for other opinions!

Thank you! I added some more photos.

I am no expert, but I would rater call it a kimono-style robe, probably made for export with that label. The "keep away from fire" lets me assume that there is some synthetic (= flammable) content in the fabric.

Yes, I would call that a robe and not a Kimono.

It looks early 70s to me or perhaps late 60s.

I think there is some requirement to have that statement on nightwear, I don't think it's to do with fabric content. I will try and find out.

Yes it's because it counts as nightwear, which has to meet special requirements regarding flammability, and have this label . It applies to all fabric contents, not only synthetics. This may be a UK thing?

Flammability

A lot of people may over look this part of their care label requirements but it is probably the most important element to a specific type of garment. Nightwear, babies, toddler, and small children’s clothing are required by The Guide to the Nightwear (Safety) Regulations 1985 to carry a permanent label indicating whether they meet the flammability standard BS-5722.

If the garment does meet this standard, the label requires KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE to be clearly displayed on the label in an Arial font at least pt.10 in size in capital letters and in bold AND red.

The current act is from 1985, but came into force in 1987. So this garment is unlikely to be earlier than 1987, and Donna may well be right with 1990s

There were previous labelling requirements regarding flammability from 1967 but those only applied to nightdresses specifically, rather than all nightwear. The required wording was slightly different, and without the need for it to be in red.
