• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Question about a Husky Jacket

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.
