K.P. Ruuskanen (Finland) 70s, Trevira Viscose Twill, Napoleon Collar SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY S.O.S. | sundazed.io/sos The K.P. Ruuskanen belted overcoat, manufactured in Finland under the KooPee private label, stands as a sharply articulated exemplar of Nordic civilian-militarized formalwear from the 1970s, rendered in a deeply saturated espresso-brown Trevira-viscose twill. The textile composition—a mid-weight, tightly woven synthetic blend—strategically combines the wrinkle resistance and crisp drape characteristic of Trevira polyester with the moisture-absorbent hand and softened luster of viscose, forming a pragmatic material hybrid widely favored across Scandinavia and West Germany for its climatic resilience and institutional polish, particularly within transitional outerwear designed to bridge seasonal shifts and bureaucratic hierarchies. The garment’s structural blueprint adheres to a principle of controlled formalism: raglan sleeves intersected with shoulder epaulettes, a Napoleon-style pointed collar integrated with a concealed throat latch, clean welted pockets punctuating an otherwise unbroken façade, and a covered placket bisected by a wide tonal belt, all converging into a form that extracts its core vocabulary from interwar military officer coats but refines it through the postwar ethos of bureaucratic depersonalization.
