Strange stuff: Fjall raven Jacket in AUSCAM !

[fantassin]

This jacket was produced over twenty years ago by the Swedish outdoor company Fjall Raven and I have only seen it once; here are some pictures.

Any infos on it welcomed !

The trademark "Fox" on the sleeve.

I wouldn't clasify that as auscam. It is a bit similar but.

Fjallräven is swedish. trust me.

Fjallräven is swedish. trust me.
There is "Made in FInland" sign ;) But that can mean anything else. made is just made.

And, yes- this camo looks a little bit diffrent than auscam.
but still cool p-)

well the company is swedish anyway. fjällräven is a swedish name. it means like artic fox or something. i know that the swedish army tried some camo design in the 80's before they chosed the splinter m/90. i think they tried the danish dancam, used by the swedish NI (national reaction force, police).

this camo looks like some commercial thing.

though it did come with a fold out mat to sit on if I remember

My grandpa did pay about 150Skr (20,98 USD) for it in 1985 :D but you cant buy it today. the pattern where tested by the army in the 1970ies along side the M90 and the tasteless Pricken (spotty)

Yes fjällräven (arctic fox) does still exist and they are quite big in Scandinavia. They are making great outdoor clothes mostly Gore-Tex I don’t know if they have produced any other camo clothing

Fjällräven make some decent kit. I've got a pair of their trousers and they're far superior to anything found in the UK.

'Greenland trousers'
