Timeless Military Wool Jacket in Vadmal – Updated with Chest Pockets 1958

Field Jacket m/39-58 is an improved version of the classic Swedish Field Jacket m/39. In 1958, the jacket received a new pocket configuration – two additional chest pockets that complemented the earlier design. The result was an even more functional garment with a total of six pockets: two on the chest, two on the hips, and two discrete pockets at the back. Made from densely woven vadmal of 100% wool with a thin cotton lining inside, the jacket offers both warmth and durability – developed to meet the Swedish defense's requirements during cold seasons and harsh conditions. M/39-58 is a piece of military history with practical upgrades – a garment that combines function, style, and durability.

Advantages of Field Jacket m/39-58

  • Made from 100% wool (vadmal) – warm, durable, and wind-resistant
  • Six pockets in total: two chest pockets, two hip pockets, and two back pockets at the back
  • Thin cotton lining inside for better comfort
  • High collar that can be fully closed – protects against wind
  • Genuine Swedish military jacket – not a copy or reproduction
  • Classic fit – works just as well in the forest as in daily urban life
The jackets are military surplus and may therefore show signs of storage or minimal previous use, but are generally in very good condition for their age. In surplus contexts, this top sorting is usually called "like new." The straight fit makes the jacket work excellently as an outer garment over a sweater or mid-layer. May have a characteristic surplus odor – recommended to wash in a gentle wool program with wool detergent if needed.

Size Guide – How to Interpret Sizes of Swedish Defense Jackets

These jackets are surplus products from the Swedish defense, manufactured from the 1930s onwards. They were originally intended for military personnel and often have a different fit than modern garments. The body shape at that time differed from today's average, and perceptions of how a jacket should fit – for example, sleeve length and width around the waist – have likely changed over time.
  • Surplus garments: Limited quantity – some sizes are very rare and more or less impossible to find.
  • The fit is military: Not always comparable with today's fashion garments. Expect straighter cuts and often broader shoulders or shorter sleeves than normal.
  • Sizes exist in two different systems: military sizes in cm (e.g., 104K) and civilian ready-to-wear sizes (e.g., C48). This is because they were manufactured at different times for the defense.

1. Military Sizes (e.g., 92, 104K, 108U)

These sizes are based on chest width in centimeters, and sometimes a letter follows indicating length or fit:
  • Example:
  • – 92 = for approx. 92 cm chest width
  • – 104K = for approx. 104 cm chest width, short model
  • – 108U = for approx. 108 cm chest width, extended/wide fit
  • K = Short: For shorter people – shorter sleeves and torso.
  • L = Long: For taller people.
  • U = Extended: Wider fit – more room around the chest and waist.

2. Civilian Sizes (e.g., C46, C150, D92)

The Swedish civilian system was also used in some garments. Here applies:
  • C-sizes: Standard fit – e.g., C46, C48, C50 corresponds to roughly XS–S–M in today's size system.
  • C150 / C146: Same width as C50/C46 but for taller people (longer sleeves and body).
  • D- and E-sizes: Wider and shorter fit – e.g., D92 and E104.

Example Size Order (approximate, smallest to largest)

92 → 96 / C46 → 96U → 98L → 100 / 100U → C48 → 102K → C50 → 104 / 104U → C52 → 108 / 108K → C54 → C56 → C58 → 114 / 114K → C146 → C150

Tips When Choosing a Size

  • Measure your chest width in cm (around the body, under the arms) and compare with the size number.
  • Are you short or tall? Look at models with K (short), L (long) or C150 / D92 for a better fit.
  • Do you want room for a thick sweater underneath? Preferably choose a U- or D-model with a bit of extra width.
