Date? They could be earlier. Someone who is knowledgeable about uniforms may know if WWII military pants had metal zippers. Marian

military or outdoor wear The pants do look military to me. I am assuming they are made of very heavy khaki colored wool. We used to see these being sold for outdoor wear, such as for hunting, in Post War II military surplus stores. They are still practical and sturdy. Marian

You might want to check out some of auctions that specialize in western items. Some big money is realized in some of them. I cannot vouch for this auction but give it only as an example. I know of them because they have an auction in Jacksonhole, Wyoming, reasonably close to where I live...

Decorative tacks These are called decorative reinforcement tacks - either arrowhead or crow's foot. Yours are the latter. Embroidery instructions sometimes show how to make them. They are also shown on p. 396 of The Vogue Sewing Book, 1973 The suit appears to be early 1940's. Marian...

Could it be a Carhartt? I am located in Idaho, and the jacket looks very much like a Carhartt, a rugged outdoor clothing line made of heavy cotton canvas like material. They are still in business with many styles and variations. Our local farm supply store carries them, as well as dairy supply...

The close up of the fabric appears to show mohair fibers on the surface giving it a slightly frosted appearance. I find that sometimes in luxurious wool coating fabrics used in both men's and women's coats. Lilli Ann is noted for wonderful coating fabrics. The plaid lining also says 1960's to...

I am coming in late on this, but each time I see the image of this neat dress, I wonder where the jacket went. In my experience a lot of dresses from the late 1950's early 1960's had short jacket tops. It would have been designed so that the bow showed. The ensemble look was popular then as...

A pastel slip, too Dresses of this sheer fabric were often worn with a pastel slip, too. Most often pink or blue. Less often green or lavender. It would give the dress a softer, more romantic look. A belt then could match the slip. Marian http://www.vintagevanitiesclothing.com/

1920\'s Silk Chiffon Dress with Handkerchief Hemline http://www.vintagevanitiesclothing.com/

The suit appears to be 1960's to me because of the color and shorter sleeves. Home sewers did not always follow recommended fabric guidelines. I would say it is home made. If expertly done I call sewn at home clothing "custom made" or "made by a skilled seamstress." The collar seems crisply...
