DESCRIPTION
This suit is of Swedish origin. It is from the brand Örnkläder, a well-known Swedish label that was produced in Karlstad, located in the Värmland region of central Sweden. It was likely made sometime during the 1940s, although it could also be slightly older. It is crafted from a heavy grey wool fabric with a subtle herringbone pattern. The coat is single-breasted with a hidden button placket, fastened with four buttons. It features vertical front pockets, and there is a buttonhole on the left lapel. The back is straight with a high vent. Inside, it is fully lined and has two inner pockets, one on each side. On the left side, there is a metal plaque with the original owner's name. This was a common way to label coats in Sweden, especially during the 1930s.
The condition is excellent, with no noticeable signs of wear. Please refer to the images to form your own opinion on the condition.
SIZE
In size, it corresponds to a modern EU 50 (US/UK 40). However, as with most garments of this type, the fit depends largely on what you wear underneath. If you wear something lighter, it is possible that someone who wears an EU 52 (US/UK 42) could wear this coat. It was designed to accommodate a suit made in the style and construction of the time. If you plan to wear it in this way, a size of around EU 50 (US/UK 40) would be ideal.
