Vintage 40s Swedish Army M1909 Parka

Vintage 40s WWII Swedish army issued M1909 winter parka

Originally, these sheepskin-lined coats were issued by the Swedish army to their troops to withstand the freezing winter temperatures of Scandinavia. These parkas have gained iconic status for their rugged design and exceptional quality. In Sweden they are known as the “Livpäls,” which translates to “coat for life” – a name they truly seem to live up to.

This jacket was made by the Swedish military supplier Mats Larsson and still retains its original label as well as several military stamps.

It is the ultimate winter coat and can still be worn today.

After more than 80 years, the parka remains in good condition and shows only minor signs of wear and use. Over the years it has developed a beautiful patina that only adds to its character.
