According to the RN calculator - estimates it was created in 1955.

WPL says "WASHINGTON MILLS CO" of NORTH CAROLINA.

This tag rings a bell, but odd that it's on this shirt. What's the pit to pit?

Taking a deeper look at the print - this could be a modern Thai creation.

Or maybe it's the original vtg boot they copied, it doesn't match the thai one exactly. There's no copyright, and the figure on the back appears to be more gold. I couldn't find any other versions that weren't modern boots.

I'd submit to Hikki on Legiteem8 to get the full scoop.
