Description

Postwar m/36 Tunic from 1958. Suitable for officer impression.

The Finnish m/36 Tunic was the main uniform of the Finnish armed forces during the Second World War and for a few decades after. Its successors are still used by the officers in the Finnish military. The tunic itself is closely modeled after the Reichwehr tunics of the early 1930’s. It is thus pretty close to the German tunics of the Second World War. There are some differences in the fit and details of the tunics, but the lineage is pretty apparent to anyone collecting or studying these uniforms.

This particular tunic is your standard tailored m/36 officer tunic. The pattern is identical to wartime m/36 tunics, which makes this a great option for an officer’s impression for the Second World War. The tunic is in great condition. There are no holes or patches. The tunic has shoulder padding and stiff collar as is usual for officer tunics. The liner is purplish grey artificial silk with black and white striped sleeves. The material of the tunic itself is slightly blueish grey woolen cavalry twill, identical to wartime material. All buttons are wartime metal coat-of-arms buttons. There are coastal artillery branch insignia on the epaulettes.

The tunic has a tailor’s cloth tag inside the liner pocket which tells us that the tunic was made in 1958 by T. I. Myllön virka- ja sivilipukimo for Major Uski.

The measurements of the tunic are:

  • shoulder width: 46cm
  • chest circumference: 104 cm
  • waist circumference: 94 cm
  • sleeve length: 60 cm
  • full back length: 72 cm
