Swedish wool tunic, surplus
The Swedish wool tunic has become a part 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.

The Swedish wool tunic has become a part 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 in 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 are 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.
Material and care
These are made from real and proper 100% wool, the kind you will not find anywhere anymore because it's so damn expensive to make. Wool is delicate when it comes to washing; machine wash in either cold water or at 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) with a wool cycle. Hang dry. Usually, you don't even need to wash this; just air it out overnight and give it some brushing. Washing is usually only needed if the tunic gets really soiled!
Size info
The first figure is the original Swedish size. In the brackets, you first have the recommended user height, then the chest circumference in centimeters or inches. The fit is quite snug, but by picking your optimal size, you should have some room for a sweater and such.
Note that the sleeves can be easily shortened a lot or lengthened by about 2 cm. For reference, 1 cm in sleeve length means 2 cm in user's height.
Condition
Swedish military surplus. In used but serviceable condition. Some airing might be in order.

puuvillakangasta tarkoituksena, että takki ei olisi niin kankea hartioista. Ja homma jopa toimii, ei takeltele hartiat niin kuin takeltelee eräs toinen sarkatakki, jossa ei vastaavia hienouksia ole. Valitettavasti olen sitten lihonut ulos omasta takistani, mutta
jospa saisin pudotettua kiloja ja senttejä vyötäröltä! Ja vielä vinkki: On tyylikäs yhdistelmä, jos laittaa tämän takin kanssa mustat housut, vaikkapa tämän firman myymät mustat molskihousut! Tämän kikan taisivat osata jo saksalaiset toisen rähinän aikana.

A belt or some such around the waist could be a good option to prevent draughts in cold weather. The colour is pretty much the same as the John Major Spitting Image puppet but, this should take a dye well so I'm off to try that. I will update my review afterwards.
