    Sizing on Swedish Military coats (“livpäls”, “militärpäls”)

    Hello! Wondering if anyone has experience with these? They have numbered sizing 1-4. An online seller with a size 3 says it’s an equivalent to a regular medium, but I find that hard to believe… Thanks!

    Aero Wayfarer battered horsehide size 38.

    This is lovely, but not quite what I am after right now. Joakim! Let me know if you are planning to sell anything else soon. Looks like we’re similar sizing, and I’m just over the bridge in Denmark. /Luke
