Swedish Undershirt, Long Sleeve, Surplus

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.

Size info

In this Swedish size system, a bigger number means a larger shirt. It is impossible to give engineer-friendly measurements because the length of the hem and sleeves can vary depending on how stretched the shirt is. We added the corresponding simple size in the chart below. It is worth noting that these were made for military bodies, so a larger gut might make the shirt bulge in a cute manner. If you want to avoid that, go with a larger size.

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.
