Why would dot-matrix be relevant here? would the labels necessarily be printed on a printer? Why not a small press or other means?Based on the font, tag styles, and the fact that it's obviously not printed on dot-matrix, I don't think these go back to the 70's. I'd guess mid-1980's to early 1990's.

As someone who haunts thrift stores for vintage clothes on a fairly regular basis, I'm always surprised by the surfeit of never worn (deadstock) vintage that I come across: a series of 12 1940s ties with the price tags still on, numerous 50s sports shirts with tags and pins, trousers with an unfinished hem. I often wonder how these survived unworn for 50+ years. Were they a gift, less than treasured? Did these survive from the never-sold stock of an old men's store? Did someone die not long after the purchase? This is particularly surprising because most men had sparser wardrobes in the earlier half of the last century.I found it interesting that someone would buy these pants, never hem them, and give them away to the thrift store.

My guess from gear that I bought from all through 80's and early is that it may be that period. Sometime later (And with one or two exceptions I've just now returned to Brooks after close to 15 year haitus), they switched from gold on blue to white on blue. Where they are now, I know not.One more quick question
From what period was the blue inside tag with gold writing which says "Brooks Brothers- Established 1818" used?
The reason I ask is that I have had a Brooks suit for some time with the same "established 1818" tag that is on these pants.
Thanks
