A pair of grey-green cotton canvas pile-lined motorcycle overalls of the Swedish army, dating from the late 1950s or early 1960s. Noted flaws - uneven colour throughout, various ingrained marks throughout, machine repairs at the centre front, inner left knee and right knee, large patched repair at the seat, missing the original straps for the ankle cuffs, some flattening to the pile lining, mismatched but original military buttons, missing one of the front right hand shoulder strap buttons - please see photos. Excellent condition otherwise, made by Haga Kvalitet, tough cotton canvas outer, non-removable polyester pile lining, excellent quality, small pocket at the lower right leg, side tabs at the waist for tightening, originally worn with the classic Swedish motojäcka by motorised troops, very warm, weighs over 2kg, perfect for wearing on a vintage motorcycle, working outdoors or in cold conditions, suitable for everyone.

I’m 175cm/85cm waist (7ft 7.5”, 33”) and they fit me perfectly with a pair of light trousers underneath and the shoulder straps at maximum length. Please account for the thick lining when checking your measurements!
