Yes, it would be useful if they came with drafting instructions. I'd especially like to see instructions for this one:

All of the drafts come with instructions on how to draw the patterns with custom measurements but not all patterns come with sleeves etc. These can be drawn from separate sleeve or collar patterns. The instructions are only in Finnish.

OK, I'll bite...

I'm after almost anything available on the previously mentioned M36 uniform - jacket, trousers, cap, etc. as well as the common issue mittens, the summer tunic & summer cap(s), etc.
Also interested in the earlier pre-M36 uniforms - and the Civil Guard M27 items - as well as whatever Lotta Svard details you may have.

Not MUCH of an ask for a first post!

Some of the patterns are mentioned to be copied from foreign tailoring magazines (Rundschau and American Gentleman Fashion are mentioned) but most of them are drawn my Finnish masters. Stroller from Vaatturi 1/1937.

Viennese ski jacket from Kuusisen Uutiset 8-9/1935.

Would you be willing to reupload these photos? The links appear to no longer work.
