DESCRIPTION
This suede jacket is of Swedish origin, but there is no label, so we cannot identify the manufacturer. However, we can say with certainty that it was produced in the Dalarna region in central Sweden. The collar has a label with the text "genuine goatskin." This type of double-breasted leather or suede jacket is known in Sweden as a "bryggarfrack," which translates directly to "brewers tailcoat." It was a style worn by many professionals during the first half of the 20th century. It is distinguished by its tight fit and short cut and provides great mobility for the wearer.
The jacket is light brown in color. It fastens with a total of five rows of buttons. It has horizontal front pockets with flaps and a breast pocket, also with a flap. On the back, it has a buckle to adjust the fit. There is no vent. The jacket is fully lined inside and has an inner pocket on the right side.
As for the condition, the overall impression is good. However, upon closer inspection, there are some minor imperfections. Specifically, on the inside, the lining shows some wear at the bottom edge. Externally, the condition is above average for a suede jacket of this era. There are a few small stains, but nothing that detracts from the overall appearance. Please look at the pictures and form your own opinion about the condition of the jacket.
SIZE
The jacket has a size label on the collar reading "46." This matches well with the actual size, and based on the measurements, it corresponds to a modern EU 46 (US/UK36). Please scroll down for the exact measurements.

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.
