Bluebell's 'Wrangler' thread, originals and repros

Well, as we have a few of us here who are generally interested in the brand, why dont we go through it model by model(s)?

I hope this is the right place to post this question. If not,I'm sure I'll be told. I was wondering how to date the sherpa Wrangler coat. I inherited(passed down really)my dad's sherpa coat and I was wondering if I could date it. I asked him when he bought it but he doesn't remember. I know it's probably a 70's due to the fact that I'm 42 and I remember him wearing it when I was a kid. Any help would be great. Thanks in advanced.

I took pics but I can't figure out how to post  them. I can describe it however. The label is a rectangular, black and says" Wrangler Wrange Coat" in gold BLOCK letters. The label background appears to be a old wooden sign or something similar. The "fur" is a bone color instead of white and the sleeves are lined with a silk like material in a light gold hue. The tiny chest label above the left breast pocket is also printed in a block style lettering. The color is still a fairly deep blue since it's only been washed a handful of times. The stitching is also a gold like color. That's the best I can do right now. If I figure pic posting out, I will. Anymore questions let me know. I also acquired a Lee trucker style jacket today. If I drop a few pounds,it will fit like a glove.
