Stamped “Hæren”, for the Norwegian army. Not a smelly surplus jacket, no one has enjoyed it before you.

Asking 225 pounds for this timewarp piece, a fraction of what a repro made last week costs 😉

 

Original issued, used and totally patinated Norwegian army M-43 field jacket.

If you want the classic field jacket look, this could be the one for you. The first of the modern field jackets, introduced in 1943. It’s been used, worn and washed. The canvas is soft as a cotton t-shirt, the creases are all in there. I fastened a couple of buttons, otherwise, it’s totally original. It even has the Norwegian flag on the arm. Would take 20 years or regular use to gain this quality of wear. No smells and no surprises, just pure vintage army style. Size 52, so a pretty standard large. Asking only 65 pounds.

All items for sale are from my own collection, some carefully used, some forgotten in the closet. Everything I sell should be well described and well taken care of, but feel free to ask questions by mail if you would like further information. Or even make me an offer, OK?

If you’re wondering what the measurement P2P means, this photo illustrates it. Pit to pit, as in armpit to armpit. In inches. Multiply by 2.54 to change to centimetres, multiply by 2 to get a full chest measurement. A 20″ P2P fits a 40″ chest. OK? 🙂
