DESCRIPTION
This short leather jacket is of Swedish origin. It bears no labels except for the one at the back of the neck stating “genuine goatskin guaranteed,” but it can still be confidently dated to the 1950s and is likely produced in the Malung area, in the province of Dalarna. It is dark brown and features a short, classic cut. The jacket fastens with a zipper and has slightly angled front pockets. The sides are equipped with buckles to adjust the fit, and the back is straight. The interior is lined with grey teddy fabric in the body and silver-coloured silk in the sleeves. There is also an inner pocket on the right side.
Overall, the condition is good, though closer inspection reveals a few minor imperfections. There are small scuffs in the leather in some areas, but nothing significant. The lining is slightly worn, and the sleeve lining is a little discoloured at the cuffs. However, none of this affects the overall appearance when worn. Please study the photos to form your own impression of the condition.
SIZE
It corresponds approximately to a modern EU 46 (UK/US 36).

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.
