This comfy coat is gorgeous, but a mystery to me. Anybody know anything about it?

Is there any kind of date/brand/? on the tag or anything like that?  It looks to be either in wonderful condition or relatively new.  Maybe the materials it's made of, if listed, can help ID the timeframe.

I blasted through the Mickey Mouse section of one of my research books and didn't see any mention of this coat.  There isn't a Steamboat Willie section, so I figured that MM was the closest place to look.

Here's some pics of the tags. Hope this will help someone identify a time frame. That's a good start.

I can tell you it was made before 1986, because it has the "Walt Disney Productions" tag on it. They changed to "The Walt Disney Company" from 1986 onward.  And although it was made in France, it doesnt come from Disneyland Paris, since that didnt open till 1992.  Hope this helps.

 Thank you for that information about the date possibilities. And thank you, for this wonderful site, and your suggestion to show pics of the tags. That was a great idea. I was at a standstill as far as finding any kind of information. I'm still trying to find out where it was made and sold, and any other history. Keep up the good work!!
