The Swedish M1944 Parka (often closely linked to or referred to as part of the M1909 lineage) is an iconic, heavy-duty military winter coat known to the Swedes as the Livpäls—meaning "coat for life".
Built with a rugged mouse-grey or olive-green cotton canvas outer shell paired with a thick, natural sheepskin (shearling) interior lining. The jacket weighs roughly 4 kilograms (about 9 lbs) and is famously warm, capable of keeping the wearer comfortable in extreme sub-zero temperatures.
The jacket features large lower patch pockets with three-button flaps (historically spacious enough to carry tools, an axe, or rations), under-arm ventilation openings, a high collar with a metal hook-and-eye closure, and button-tab cuffs. Designed as an oversized garment to layer heavily over uniforms; lower front buttons often feature long thread shanks to let the skirt open while moving or working.
There are various stamps to the interior including one of the manufacturer's name and the size.
Measurements are taken from the outside of the jacket, there is a thick pile lining inside with will bring the measurements in slightly.
Some wear to the collar, the odd button is missing but the outer fabric and sheepskin lining are in good condition.
Size: Medium/Large
Pit to Pit: 25.75 Inch
Shoulder: 21 Inch
Pit to Cuff: 15 Inch
Collar to Hem: 40 Inch
