DESCRIPTION
This is a Swedish 1950s/1960s black post officers goatskin jacket. This jacket style is called "bryggarfrack" in Swedish (literally; brewer´s tailcoat) and was very popular under the first half of the 20th century. The leather in this jacket is extraordinarily soft and well preserved. It appears to have been worn only a few times, the condition is like new. The buttons are marked with the symbol of the Swedish postal services. These buttons could easily be replaced. It is marked "54" but true size is closest to a modern EU 50. Please check the measurements below to get the best possible idea of the size.

Sweden had a prominent leather industry during the first half of the 20th century, largely concentrated in Malung, in the province of Dalarna. Some of that heritage can be found here with us in the form of leather jackets in various styles, often made from goatskin. The high level of craftsmanship and the quality of the leather are distinctive features of garments from this period.
