Finnish M83 Sweater, Blue, New Factory Surplus

As the cleverest probably picked up, the Finnish army model sweater is strikingly similar to the British army model which it indeed is copied from. Why not, it's a superb sweater and looks good on you. We got these as Finnish factory surplus in size Medium.

Since its introduction in the 1980s, the Finns have loved this model so much that it's still in production, as is its British counterpart. With polycotton reinforcements on the shoulders and elbows this garment will stand out in terms of durability - it's the sweater you'll only have to buy once!

Made of 100 % thickish pure new wool, rib-knit. Usually airing out is enough to keep this fresh. If, however, you have to wash it, do it at about 30 °C / 86 °F.

Size info

Only size Medium, which is meant for a 100 cm (40") chest. Of course being made of wool the fit is forgiving. The sleeves are meant to be folded at the cuffs to proper length (and the folds "find their place" over time), so these are very long, fit for most people. The fit is snug at first, but this will form in your body.

Made by Top-Knit Ltd.

One-off lot made right here in Finland by Top-Knit Ltd. which makes these for the army. These are just as genuine Finnish army sweaters as they get, fresh factory surplus. Normally these would cost about 30 % more.
