Wonderful vintage surplus from 1970s's Sweden. This coat, while general issue is seldom seen equipped with the collar tabs of the Swedish Royal Home Guard. The Home Guard has a rich history dating back to WW2, where it began with militia forces before expanding into what it is today, a defensive land force. 

For utility, the coat is equipped like any other M59 jacket, coming with 2 large button hip / waist pockets, 2 rear ones for ammunition and sundries and 1 large and 1 small internal pocket for documents, ID cards, matches and cigarettes or even some gum. In harsh weather the collar can be flipped up and fastened shut to provide a little bit of extra protection. It is made entirely from a poly-cotton blend and is quite thick.
