Christian Dior Monsieur: A History Lesson with Eye Candy!

Today, I came across a mint condition "Christian Dior Monsieur" jacket. In an effort to date it I visited the Vintage Fashion Guild's Label Resource, but had no luck. Then I noticed another tag one the side that said "Field Brothers", again Google dutifly did it's job and I ended up on Jrank. According to the article this jacket is really interesting. In the 1970s Dior wanted to expand the Dior Monsieur line into America so they used Bergdorf Goodman and Marshall Field's in Chicago to do so. Effectively, the jacket is not only a well constructed jacket, but also a historical marker of Dior's expansion into the American market.

The label is included below, for your viewing pleasure.

1970s Adidas Pro-specs 'Super Plantin' WBA/WBC Hi-Top Boxing Shoes

Figuring out the provenance of this item has been an absolute wild goose chase and we still don't know everything.

What we know: They're from the 70s, not American and built to professional specs.

The mystery: The tongue has the word "platin" and it's arabic transliteration. There's no record of this trademark ever having been registered in the USA. Infact, we have no idea what it means outside of America either!
The insoles have been replaced with a spongy-soft insole (probably for the fighter's comfort). There are no country of origin or materials tags.
This is the only pair that I've ever seen bear the World Boxing Authority/World Boxing Council's Seal.

It's interesting to note that a more common pair sold a few months ago for a whopping $300. The guys at Defunk'd have a link to it here.

My best guess is that the shoes were used for a ranked match sometime in the 70s, possibly for the 1976 Montreal Olympics.

Great Finds on Etsy: 1970s Levi's Big E Corduroy Jacket- Only $16

Every week we comb the internet to find you the best deals in vintage clothing. The Etsy seller catsandcrickets has a gem for sale here at 1970s prices.
EDIT: The item has SOLD

The seller dates them to the 1970s and it has design features typical of jackets from this era (belt loops, two front pockets, exaggerated collar, etc). Many of you are likely wondering "didn't Levi's stop making 'Big E' clothing after 1971? Actually, while that is true of their red tab jeans, they continued to make some items with the Big E tag throughout the 70s. At this price it's a steal.
