Product details
Product description

People often ask us when do we get those vintage field shirts that they used to wear when they rode horses into battle and got a flogging for Christmas? Well, now! These are Swedish, and like most military-issue clothing from the Nordic countries, they are high-quality, hard-wearing shirts made for action. For this price, you won’t get anything else than sweatshop monstrosities equipped with a self-destruct mechanism from quicky marts.

Features

The M59 service shirt is a roomy and durable cotton shirt. It has an actual collar, unlike the Finnish equivalent. It is a great shirt for a great many things. Unlike the Finnish "institution gray" shirts, these come in magnibulous forest green color. There is a hint of elasticity in the fabric.

Unlike the olden times Finnish service shirt, this one has an actual collar!

Use

This shirt is a true chameleon of shirts. Thanks to its durability, it is perfect for hunting, hiking, lumberjacking, and real manly man work that hurts and makes you sweat. Yet it won’t run away screaming in the city either. When you put this on, enter a beard hipster bar and order a DIPA DAPA jimsonweed-mandrill poop-blowfish sour matured in herring casks, you will always be served first and the bouncer will tip you.

If you aren’t thrilled about the elf green color, cotton will suck in a lot of dye. So, you can turn it e.g. verdant black like the soul of a venture capitalist.

Condition

These are used and relatively old but they are in very good condition for their age. As long as you don’t buy it as a dress shirt for your wedding, they will work very nicely. If you are one of those who think that everything has to be pristine perfect, buy a new shirt. But that won’t be this cool or cheap. And as with surplus in general, there can be a lingering smell of surplus present.

Great sturdy, hard wearing shirts. 100% cotton for this price can't be beat. I got 2 from 1988 and I am amazed they are still in great condition. One of them has a little repair, but as the shirts are sturdy as fuck I don't see this as a problem and no doubt they will last a long time. They are sturdy, but not soft, so you might want to wear a very light t-shirt or tank top underneath. However as with my other purchases, I am 193 cm tall and 41/Large fit me just about fine, but next time I am going with 43/X-Large for longer sleeves.

Highly recommended as a casual shirt. Best worn over a tight fitting roll neck shirt in winter, like the Swedish Army green one, or the Finnish equivalent. Once you've given the shirt a good British Army style beasting with a steam iron on the third setting, it'll look quite smart, being the usual excellent Svensk kvalitet. Size 41 fits a 42-44" chest size. 1959 might have been the year of Peak Scandoland Social Democracy: I instantly feel more cooperative with my fellow man and an overwhelming sense of Lagom when I put it on.
