DESCRIPTION
Swedish brown double breasted goatskin leather jacket with nice patina. This jacket probably dates back to the 1930s or 1940s, but it could be even older. The label has been damaged, but the text "garanteras äkta getskinn" ("guaranteed real goatskin") is still readable. It has a four button closure, vertical outer breast pockets and lower horizontal pockets with flaps. It has one button hole on each lapel. It has one inner pocket in the left side. The overall condition is good considering the age of the jacket. There is some damage to the lining in the sleeve ends. Please have a look at the pictures and evaluate the condition of the jacket.

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.
