    There's a guy in Sweden that bought a Husky jacket in New York, don't know the guy myself but I read his questions in a Swedish Husky forum. Why not take the questions to the country of the jackets origin.

    Who is this Matt ??
    What era could it be from (60, 70, 80 .....)
    The brand of the jacket is "Swingster Jackets".

    I know that this forum is a great knowledge bank.

    I will translate and post up your response at the Swedish Husky forum.

    It is a stock generic jacket, probably offered up through a company that does team jackets for baseball, softball and other teams. I got a different style jacket when I joined a bass fishing tournament club. Mine had my name on the front and a very elaborate bass design on the back. I'd say that the jacket pictured above wasn't any later than the 80s, because the embroidery isn't very complicated or custom, so I would have to say that it dated before any computerized embroidery options were being offered by these companies. Although mostly sports teams and organizations buy these, any individual can. It's just always cheaper to buy at "group" quantities. The individual that originally bought this jacket may have been part of a local shop racing team or he might have just fancied having his own custom Husky jacket.
