Question #1 I am queuing up to list a bunch of 'JAMS WORLD' items....... Is there a label site/resource ? There are many different labels, and I am having a hard time dating each label
Question #2 I have several 'Jams World' pieces that have pinholes/flaws, and am thinking to sell as "Cutters" for the fabric and buttons. Searching "cutter" was nil. Any suggestions as to category/KWs to list these JW items?
Thanks for all replies

1 -- Most of the time, there is a tag on the side seam that has the print name. It may be faded or cut out, though. There is a site (it's under label resources), but it takes forever and doesn't have any current items in it. Sometimes searching key words in the print will bring up other sellers' items and one of them may have the real print name.
2 -- I'd take pictures of the flaw and put "flaw" in the title and condition description box. Then I'd run them as auctions and let the JW people decide what they want to do.

According to TESS jams world was first used in commerce 9/1/91. The mens shorts have been called jams since '65 (he saw a Life magazine article about a russian using pajama bottoms to surf/swim and had his wife cut the bottoms and sew up the fly - I didn't know that!) but they were sold under surf line and surf line hawaii waybackwhen.

Here is the only guide I know of. And it is TEDIOUS looking for a specific print. www.nwmangum.com/JamsWorld/ For me, I don't even try and date my JW stuff. About half of what I've found has a tag on a side seam that has the print name and the style number. When they don't have that, I'll search KWs on eBay and Google Images. If nothing from there, I just list with KWs. For the flawed, I'd just sell as is and list the flaws.

I must handle a ton of Indonesian rayon a year, I swear, and a lot of it develops little pinholes when the rest of the fabric is fine - I just list with flaws. Sometimes the fabric already has a little pinhole or two when sewn into the garment.
