♛Vintage ca. 1940s Swedish Army uniform blouse is the newest addition to our world-famous vintage military collection! Deadstock and unworn, most of these pieces are still folded onto their original 70+-year-old paper. What a rare treasure!

This classic 40s blouse features a rayon textile that, while fluttery, has a crispness and body to it. Blouse presses up beautifully and resists wrinkling. The color is a wonderful neutral sandy hue. Viewed more closely, the fabric is woven with flecks of both warm golden tan and a cool, slate bluish tone, so it pairs with almost every color you could throw at it.

Beautiful golden metal buttons, each embossed with three crowns, march down the front and close each cuff.

The button-loop collar looks great both closed or opened and relaxed. Bust pockets lend both charming detail and usefulness. Lovely tucks at the rear waist provide a flattering, tapered fit. European size tags are attached at rear neck.

Our military pieces are built strong and sturdy, so, if you break the price down per wear, you will see the true value. And great separates from this era are increasingly scarce. To find a group of them deadstock/unworn is exciting, indeed.

Choose your preferred size from the drop-down menu to purchase. See our other listings for the tan 1950s British Army shorts shown in the flat lay photo.

♛Measurements

Please allow room for ease and the kind of fit you desire and choose the size that fits you best. Try comparing measurements to blouses you own that fit you well. I found that these fit ~slimly~ and seem to run a bit smaller than their stated tags, as is common in vintage. To avoid pulling on the front buttons, you'll want to allow yourself plenty of room.

♛Condition

These are 70+ years old and are deadstock and unworn.

Most, if not all, are still folded or pinned onto their original paper backings. Cleaning and pressing before first wearing is a good idea. They can be hand-washed or dry cleaned easily and should last decades more with proper care.

These were looked over carefully. Though uncommon, there might be a tiny blemish picked up from age here and there among our military pieces.
