My new EXTREME cold weather Swedish army leather overcoat

[ukali1066]

Hi chaps,

I won this recently for the winter, it's a Swedish military double breasted overcoat with fur collar [ feels like Mouton ]
It's blanket lined and the leather is the heaviest I've ever seen on a coat...indestructable !
It's big enough to wear over 3 layers including my Swedish wool tunic seen here.
It's in perfect condition too, looks hardly worn at all, I gave it some Pecards and it's ready for action [ slow....plodding action ]

I won't be cold this winter

The company who made it still make leather goods in Sweden and have been since 1936, I don't know how old my example is

I really like the style, very Von Richthofen with the fur collar

I bought a similar one back in September. It's in Maryland and I'm in Halifax so I won't see it in person for another couple of weeks. Looks about the same other than the collar material.

Both coats look rugged. They may last longer than you are able to wear them!

Cheers guys

Dinerman...yep that's the same spec, I've seen another type of collar wool which is curly too, I thought these would be very hard to find in the U.S. ?

[Dinerman]

It's the only one I've seen in the states. No interest on ebay on mine, got it for $15.
I have to say, your collar looks a lot better. Much more refined.

Very nice find, there. Care to estimate the weight?

[ukali1066]

$15 !!! What a bargain.... For the weight I'd say take your heaviest waistlength leather jacket and double it
