A Swedish military motorcycle jacket, estimated from the 1950s.
An exceptionally rare arrival.
Swedish military motorcycle jackets are predominantly seen in green, but this is a scarce black example. This is, of course, the original colour—not a later redye.
While black redyes are common today, genuine original black examples are nearly impossible to find.
According to dealers, green became the standard issue from the 1960s onward. Yet in the preceding decades—the 1940s and early 1950s—select examples in black were issued and worn.
At first glance, one might question its military provenance, but the Swedish military stamp is clearly visible, confirming its authenticity as a genuine military issue. Size markings are also stamped.
The exterior is constructed from sturdy cotton canvas, resistant to wind; the interior is lined with long-pile wool for exceptional warmth retention.
The functionality exceeds what one might expect—arguably over-specified by contemporary standards. A chin strap is fitted to the collar, allowing it to be worn raised if desired.
The sizing suggests a golden fit for the Japanese frame, making it accessible to a wide range of proportions.
The fabric bears the characteristic patina and light soiling consistent with its age, yet its overall condition remains commendable.
There are no significant defects that would impede wear, and it remains entirely wearable.
Items of this calibre seldom reach the market. If you have sought such a piece, this may well be your opportunity.
