Swedish Track Suit Jacket, Blue, Surplus

Härregud how jättefin smurf blue jacket from the Neon Ages of the army fashion of our western neighbor. In Sweden, they clearly know how to make army sports more Abba. When you wear this in anything more strenuous than Nordic stick walking, you will get -10 on your performance but you will at least double your charisma. We also have equally delightful pants. Get your spouse the same set and you will finally look like you live in harmony.

Feätures

This is a light zippered jacket that has two breast pockets with a velcro closure and one zippered pocket down on the right. Elastic cuffs and fairly high elastic collar. We have no idea how old these are but lookswise anything from the 60s to 80s. However, knowing how the army works, these might torment the grunts even today.

There is no material data available but it is some fairly thin fabric that clings onto you in that sexy fashion when it rains. The fabric stretches so little that the effect is kinda homeophatic.

Use

Officially this is a track suit jacket because it says "för sport och fritid", which means for sport and leisure time, but we would emphasize the latter part. You will look damn sexy when strolling down the streets wearing this. You will without a doubt get laid… off at least. Then again, these might improve your training because being pissed off at your crappy sportswear will get your adrenaline levels higher.

Sizing

Sizing is based on the Swedish guitar god system "More is more", in other words the bigger number is a bigger size. Since not everybody speaks the Swedish military size lingo fluently , we added a couple of measurements in the chart below.

We only managed to get these in three sizes, so we just have measurements for them. However, if we someday get more, we will measure more.

The chest width is measured from armpit to armpit and the sleeve length from the shoulder seam

Condition

Used Swedish military surplus. The condition varies to some extent. Some seem completely unused, some have small signs of use, such as tiny patch jobs and little stains. However, these are all serviceable and washed, so they don’t smell of Swedish soldiers, which brings down the price quite a lot. One day your soul will weep bitter tears if you don’t get yourself this beauty.
