Old Navy continues to evolve. In recent years, the brand has experimented with sustainable materials and new labeling. Some newer garments have tags made from recycled materials. The logo is sometimes printed directly onto the fabric of the garment, eliminating the tag entirely.
These changes will create new challenges for future vintage hunters. The tags of today are less durable. They fade faster. They are harder to read. But the principles of dating remain the same. Look at the logo. Check the care label. Find the RN number. The clues are always there.
