Blouse SWEDISH M59 GREEN

The Swedish M59 field jacket is a classic military design used by the Swedish Army from around the 1960s to the 1980s. Its robust construction and practical cut make it a suitable choice for field work, bushcraft and general outdoor use.

A distinctive feature of the M59 is its combination of a simple military cut, ample storage space and sturdy cotton fabric. The jacket was designed with a focus on durability and practical use in demanding conditions. The cut provides plenty of room for additional layers of clothing and allows for comfortable movement whilst working or spending time in the countryside.

A densely woven cotton twill was chosen for its high mechanical durability in military and work applications. This natural material also remains breathable and is well-suited to environments where it may come into contact with branches, vegetation or work equipment.

In addition to the classic front pockets, the M59 also features distinctive ‘poacher’-style back pockets, designed for carrying bulkier items. This design feature is one of the most distinctive elements of the entire jacket.

The front button fastening is complemented by a protective flap, which helps to minimise the direct ingress of wind and debris through the front of the jacket.

Under normal conditions, the collar can be worn unfolded in the classic style. In windy or colder weather, it can be raised and fastened around the neck.

The functional cut is designed to accommodate additional layers. Depending on the weather, you can wear a woollen jumper or a thermal layer underneath the jacket without compromising its primary purpose as work outerwear or a uniform.
