Product description

The Swedish snow camouflage jacket is as simple as they get, while still being quite practical. And almost white too! Dye it with the colour of your choice to convert it to a basic, rugged smock type coat! We got another lot of these after a long wait!

You'll find all the standard stuff expected from such a garment, like button-up front with windproof closure, hood, button-up cuffs and two large hem pockets.

Now, one notable thing about these is the colour. Most armies recognize snow as being pearly white. The Swedes decided to make their snow suits grayish or yellowish. We have no idea why. However, these still work just fine, don't be fooled.


Pro-tip: these are made of thick, windproof cotton, making it work just like a British army Windproof Smock. Don't like the colour? Hell, dye this brown or green or whatever - cotton soaks in dye like never before.

Size system

Sizes in the Euro system with the standard "easy" size in the brackets for reference. Only one height size, which will pass for 170-180 tall people . Please note these run very large to accommodate other clothing worn underneath. This means that for example size 46 will pass OK even for a size 54 person with some stuff worn underneath, according to our tests.


Condition

Used, but in serviceable condition. Expect some stains, repairs and occasionally a missing button.

Had a few very minor stains, as was expected, but otherwise seems to be in perfect shape. I had planned on dying it an earth tone, but the off-white color I received is a very nice light grey, so I may keep it as-is and be on the lookout for another example. Very happy with this purchase.

Bloody love it. Bought two, cut the pockets off one and sewed it onto the other as chestpockets, and added vertical zippers to the sides, giving it 6 total pockets and essentially making it a british smock without the camoflauge that I personally dislike. The perfect material and weight for what I was wanting. And the price is unbeatable. Will dye it to a more year-round shit brown. Overall very happy.

Very little wear and tear. I’m 5’10” and about 205 lbs (178 cm & 93 kg) and the medium fit well while wearing 3 light layers. My wife said the cut was very effeminate. When I told her that it was Swedish, she understood.
