The Swedish Army M59 Field Shirt (Fältskjorta m/59) is an iconic piece of Cold War military design. Introduced in 1959 as part of Sweden’s standardized M59 uniform, this pop-over smock was purpose-built for the harsh demands of Scandinavian field operations.

Designed for raw utility, it features a 1/4 button placket for easy layering and a long drop-tail hem engineered to stay tucked in during heavy movement.

Crafted from heavy-duty 100% cotton canvas in Sweden’s signature forest green, the fabric easily handles severe outdoor wear. Over time, the tough weave breaks down into a soft, breathable layer with a rich, unique patina. With its clean pullover silhouette and rugged build, the M59 remains a timeless staple of military functionalism.
