What is a reproduction fabric vs. a vintage fabric?

A reproduction fabric is a newly made fabric printed to look like an old fabric. A vintage fabric is a fabric of an older age that is the actual fabric from then. I have heard a great difference of opinion of what a vintage fabric is as far as age goes. Some people say it has to be fifty years old. Others say it has to be old and made in a certain decade. The older we get the younger vintage fabric gets. It used to be the fabrics from the 1960’s were not considered vintage, but recently I have seen many use “vintage” 1960’s fabrics in their vintage quilts.
