Rare vintage rawlings dodgers jacket

[Jeremyprosch1980]

I scored this at a thrift store. I cant find anything on it. I think ive narrowed it down to late 70's and may have been only issued to the team. Ive searched n can only find 2 others on the internet and theyre in bad shape and over $400. Mines in great shape. Any advice or knowledge on this is greatly appreciated.

what info narrows it to the 1970's? I'm thinking the tagging is more in line with the 1980's and size 34 would be more in line for a child?

[Jeremyprosch1980]

That specific rawlings tag narrows it down.

Before 72 the rawlings design was different. Then this patch was used 72-76 And after 76 rawlings stopped making them until after 87 with a different patch

Its not a child size. Im 5'11 190 and can fit in it. Its say it a size medium or adult small.

[Jeremyprosch1980]

The rawlings design is very similar in the late 80'. The writing on the tags are different. But late 80's did have red tags.

Im just baffled on why i can not find anything like it. There tons of starter goldman and sons mitchell n ness but not rawlings

Size 34 is a pretty little dude for a ML player. Batboy?

This tag is off a 1988 jacket. With a quick search on eBay I found several similar jackets.

Here is the Rawlings tag off Bill Ripken's Charlotte (AA) jacket back in 1986:

Yes. That is the late 80's Rawlings tage. Im not sure you noticed but the late 70's tag and 80's tage are different. Im not sure if yoi can see but what they say on them is different

[Jeremyprosch1980]

The 70's tagstarts with do not dry clean.....the 80's tage starts with machine wash....if you look closely you will be able to read mine its a little blurry

[Jeremyprosch1980]

I also know Rawlings stopped producing for the dodger in 76 and did not again until 87. So im not sure about other teams tags between that time frame. Im just going off Dodgers uniform history

[Jeremyprosch1980]

And there are 2 on ebay and one is mine..

[Jeremyprosch1980]

Ive searched and searched google for vintage ralwings dodgers jackets and can count them on one hand. Obviously there are hundreds of other branded jackets you will find...but not rawlings. And search dodgers uniform hostory and you will you find who manufactured what and when and the uniform markings. At first glance you think nice jacket but they are common...just plz do some digging if you dont know what your looking at.

I couldn't read your tag, it is too blurry for me.
