DESCRIPTION
This jacket is of Swedish origin, produced sometime in the 1950s by Holger Matssons in Malung. Malung was Sweden’s center for leather goods for much of the 20th century. It is made of goatskin, which is a very soft and durable leather. The jacket is single-breasted and fastens with five buttons. It features diagonal front pockets as well as vertical breast pockets. The waist is cinched with a belt, and there is no vent in the back. The jacket is lined with a checkered wool fabric in the body.

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.
