Swedish wool tunic, surplus

The Swedish wool tunic has become a minor bit of classic military wear on its own, being very high quality, cheap in price and rather nice in the looks department. Nowadays the availability seems to be waning, and these are likely the last ones we'll ever have.

A simple wool tunic, with button closure and two to four front pockets (there are a few model variations, we do not differentiate). Usually the tunics have back pockets too. These also have a cotton lining.

Wool still works well on chilly weather and winter - it keeps you warm even when wet, but doesn't get soaked without a good effort. It also resists soiling quite well and isn't too afraid of flame either. A popular little tweak is to change the Tre Kronor buttons to something else. The bravest have even ventured forth to dye the jacket.

There's a few model variations (M/39, M/39-58 and M/58), what these have in common along the material is the basic cut and fit, two hem pockets on the front and two on the back. We do not differentiate.

Size info

First the original marked Swedish size, in the brackets first recommended user's height, then chest circumference in centimeters or inches. These fit quite firm, but by picking your optimal size you should have some room for a sweater and such.

A notable thing is the fact that the sleeves can be easily shortened a lot or lenghtened about 2 cm. For reference, 1 cm in sleeve length means 2 cm in user's height.

Condition

In used, but serviceable condition. Some airing might be in order.
