Dating Summit of Boston Wool Skirt

[Jenny]

I think this skirt is made in the 50s or before. Feels like wool fabric. Metal zipper on the right side of skirt. The seams were covered or left raw. Label is falling apart for sure. haha...

Can you show the zipper please?

For what it's worth - I remember wearing this label quite a bit in the 60's.

It looks fairly long...I think it may well be from the 50s...it looks like it had a matching belt that has gone missing...great long kick pleat at the back.

@Amanda it makes sense, the side seams zipper was used during late 1930s to 1960s. On the zipper, it says, F (an arrow point up to F) CON.
Matching belt went missing.

I agree with 1950's, as that's an earlier style of metal zip, and the printed hanging loops is something I've had on garments from this era too.

I remember Summit of Boston, also. - Depending on how long the skirt is, it could be from the 50s or early 60s. I found this ad from 1960 on Newspaper Archives for a British Walker Summit of Boston tweed skirt with a kick pleat that appears to be about the same length:

The belt was leather.
