• Grade 1.5 Rust - Consider it like Grade 1, but due to age the metal buttons on earlier versions will have some patina / rust. May need replacing or may possibly be cleaned, but still function. 
• Grade 1.5 Missing Buttons - Missing a button or two, but aside from this just like Grade 1!

Any questions please feel free to ask!

Wonderful vintage surplus from the Swedish Army. First introduced in the late 1950's, these jackets stood the test of time and have become a beloved surplus piece. Previously these were a general issue item which is a variant of the M59 Field Jacket, which offered slightly more storage options. This jacket however still became incredibly popular, even to this day.

The coat is made from 100% cotton material meaning it's comfortable, manoeuvrable and easy to clean. The front is closed by several engraved buttons which vary from being a metal material to a durable plastic on later models. There are also 2 large hip pockets and a handy internal chest pocket. Surprisingly unlike the field jacket, this one has adjustable wrist cuffs. It is quite a simple design but certainly all you need in a general purpose coat! 

If you're looking for more storage space we also stock the field jacket, with and without collar tabs!
