Additional information:
The M/45 dispatch jacket, made from heavy black canvas with a black sherpa lining, was part of a 2-piece uniform that included both the jacket and bib overalls. It was worn by dispatch riders in the mid-1940s, around the same time as the double-breasted Swedish dispatch jacket made from leather. However, the M/45 dispatch jacket was phased out as the army began developing a canvas version of the leather jacket, which appeared to better meet their needs. As a result, the M/45 dispatch jacket is now exceptionally rare and sought after by collectors.
