Product description

An ol’ time jätte härlig cream-colored undershirt from a less hostile neighbor of Finland. These are from the era, when mumbling about technical underwear might have gotten you the stock punishment for witchcraft. Long sleeves and stylish rib-knit. A dream marriage with wool pants. This is a one-off batch, and we don’t know whether we can get more. So, get yours now or prepare for a sad and pointless life without.

Features

A spiffy traditional rib-knit undershirt. Long cuffs that might have been folded when in use, no collar. Some have the year 1969, which apparently were the best days of one’s life. There can be other years and decades as well.

No material data is given but these are most likely made from cotton, like old military underwear tends to be.

Condition

Used Swedish military surplus. These are decades old and the hem and sleeves might be somewhat stretched depending on the size of the previous wearers. Nevertheless, all shirts are clean and intact. Military stuff is made to last and these will serve you a bloody long time.

I own the original, still in use since my days in the Swedish navy back in 1991, so its going on 30 years now, with no visible indication of this being the case. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get one of the larger sizes here before they were out of stock - but this is one of the best garments I've ever had. I remember us conscripts complaining about ratio between the length of the sleeves (very short) and the shirt itself (very long, reaches well down your buttocks) and the officers explained that this was on purpose. The arms stops short of your wrist in order not to risk becoming wet when working, and the shirt reaches low to keep your delicate conscript posterior warm during winter. 10/10 would recommend this.
