I found this Swedish wool jacket on one of Polish Surplus stores it turned out to be produced by tiger of Sweden and its the thickest wool I ever saw, it looks a bit russian but it's going to be perfect on upcoming bushcraft trip with friends and I paid around 50 euro for it

Varusteleka sold very similar looking swedish wool jackets a bit ago. Only difference were the markings on the collar being green instead of red. On their website they said these were made between the 1930s and 1950s with varying manufacturers.

There's also pants that I think I'll get after new year also from Swedish 1950s uniform

I always like browsing Varusteleka, a lot of decent surplus relevant to bushcraft for pretty reasonable prices

So when I get pants I can sleep ez under my polish lavvu and wool blanket, now I can't wait to test it this winter

between the coat, pants, blanket and lavvu you've probably got 30 pounds (13.6kg) worth of gear in just the 'shelter' category. lol

Lavvu (i use Polish ones) it's 3kg blanket is around 1.5kg and the coat idk how much it weights but when it's cold it doesn't matter when I wear this

I have the version with the 2 back pockets, stamped 1938. I reworked mine quite a bit and wear it to town. Surprisingly, they are not as warm as they look.
