Some Finnish firms were (and are?) producing goods for the Swedish military. For example, Nokian made the official Swedish Army rubber boots (Gummistövlar 90) (the second maker of these wellies was Acton from Canada).Oilskin_Lover wrote:Does anybody know how a Finnish outfit was making stuff for the Swedes? A mystery.

Re: Blue shiny rukka raincoat
Thanks for the info. Who would have thought that the Swedes would employ the Finns--but thinking again, outsourcing is all the rage. "Globalization."
Then I remember that when the US Army decided to switch to berets for everybody (self esteem for all) there was quite a fracas when they were
going to have them made in China(!!!!). That idea didn't last long. Ah, the military mind in action--a fearsome thing. Well, thanks again for the info.
Yours,

Re: Blue shiny rukka raincoat
Is Ebay the best place to find shiny Rukkas?
Re: Blue shiny rukka raincoat

Re: Blue shiny rukka raincoat
Can anyone tell me, are the traditional cotton backed Rukka macs still sold?
Re: Blue shiny rukka raincoat
I'm selling a great shiny Black Rukka on Ebay if you are interested.
