Hi folks! I'm hoping someone can help me date this wool jumpsuit. At first I thought it was 70's era, but once I put some light on it, I realized it's got to be much older. The thread & fibers alone look to be more aged than anything I've seen from the 70's & that mini metal painted Talon zipper along with the finishes remind me of the 40s. There are no tags & the characteristics are handmade. Hoping someone can help!

That is a wonderful garment! I see 1970's, possibly 1960's if it was done by a fashion forward designer. Reminds me a bit of Bonnie Cashin in the lower pockets and color, but the large upper patch pockets throw that off for me.
