dr martin label

[henri]

hi,as a finishing touch on my missuss scoot i'm making a seat cover in ox-blood red with yellow piping (laces) which will look vaguely dm'ish , i need a label from some dm's to copy ,to hang at the back to finish it off,an make it obvious to the "hard of thinking" what the "look" is , have looked at new DM's ,an after fainting at the price an being revived ,saw the label says "airwear" on outside an "airsole" on inside,i'm sure they use to say "dr martin" instead . coz of copywright an for giggles was going to change it to "doc martin" an take out the i from airsole an put in a e before the o , you get it , 
anyway has anybody got a pair of "old faithful" dm's that they could look at an confirm my memory of the label ,or if your about to send em to the tip as crackered could ya snip off the label an i'd pay postage n hassle-money to send it to me , i mean a beer ,so dont think ya getting rich on this 1,ok. 
i know its a bit "out there" this 1 ,but is vaguely scooter/scooterist related for this board ,thanks henri

I like these little detective tasks, but so far I can’t find anything to back up your memory of an older label than 'AirWair'.

Here is a film of history of D.M. and there’s a bit of old B&W film that shows ‘AirWair’ on the label. I’m not a big fan myself, but mine are pretty old, and also show ‘AirWair’ and ‘WITH SOLES Bouncing’. You’re not thinking of the label on the sole are you? – It says ‘DR.MARTENS AIR CUSHION SOLE’ (and MADE IN ENGLAND, which you might not see on new ones)
I found something like you describe on Ebay, but they’re on 1990s D.M.s; they do say ‘Dr Martens’ (See other pics below)

Sorry I can’t be more help, but will look around later, when sitting down properly. You'll probably find a D.M. 'anorak' put it right, and I'll get on with something else......................
