Modified Vintage Swedish Army M39-58 Wool Tunic

As pictured

Dated 1952

38" Chest, Regular Height

I've removed the rear pockets and fitted a half belt to enhance the shape. I've also replaced the plastic button at the neck, standard on these tunics, with a metal one to match the others.

The tunic is new old stock in excellent, unused condition. Only point to note: there's light lines of tailor's chalk on the rear where the rear pockets have been removed. A yellow line just below the half-belt and red lines lower down, originally used to mark the position of the pockets. These are not conspicuous and should fade over time but *are* visible. Take a good look at the photos for these.

 General description:

Swedish M39-58 field tunic. Basic but solid military design and construction with a definite rustic vibe. Made from an excellent quality heavy worsted wool fabric and part lined with cotton twill. Originally M39 greatcoats which were later modified to field tunics by the Swedish army. Features a high collar, two hip pockets, armpit gussets to increase freedom of movement and the three crown metal buttons of the Swedish army.
