Finnish M65 wool jacket, surplus

A Finnish classic, a short hemmed heavy-duty wool tunic with two chest pockets and nothing extra. Not too many of these left in the world anymore - get yours now!

• Thick proper wool fabric, no lining on the inside
• Two breast pockets
• Collar can be buttoned all the way up
• Extra side seams can be cut open for more room at the waist, if not already done with the jacket you receive.

We thought these were gone for good in any other size than super mega small, but what do you know - more uniforms popped up and what's best, the sizes are decent. Wool fanatics should not pass this, it's a very high-quality jacket. On some specimens, the tags say the material consists of "at least 85 % wool". Made in Finland to proper standards, no cheapo crap here!

Those who know history might notice a similarity to the late-war German Ersatz model, which in turn was influenced by the British Battle Dress jacket. We believe this is not a coincidence, but these are not hastily sewn in war-time, but with all the care we could afford afterward.

Care

Wool usually is pretty care-free, just brush it and air it out once in a while. If you have to wash, use wool cycle and do it at 30 °C / 86 °F. Air dry only, don't throw these in a dryer.

Size info

Sizes in the Finnish army system, with user's recommended measurements in the brackets (height/chest).

Also note the side seams on the hem. If your jacket is unissued, these are sewn shut. By opening them, you can add more girth to the waist for a more relaxed fit.
