Huskvarna, formerly known as Husqvarna, is a city in Sweden that lent its name to the well-established line of equipment, with the iconic orange chainsaws in the front line. While the garden tools made the name famous, the city has much more to offer. From colorful history as royal rifle manufacturers to its people, Huskvarna is full of interesting bits that are waiting to be explored. It's probably the reason why Evert Ardensson decided to document the city life back in the 1970s. And we're glad he did!
The photographer's gallery offers a unique look at the fashion, culture and society of the 70s in Huskvarna. So scroll down below to check the pictures out and don't forget to vote and comment on your favorites!

Even at an early age, kids would only play against Gretzky if he had a handicap.
And we wonder why teenagers started wearing their pants loose & halfway down their butts! It was overcorrection for this!
That guy has to be an Italian stonemason- called up from Italy to lay stones for some road construction job... I'd bet 10,000 lira LoL

I never got the appeal of jumpsuits. Who wants to totally disrobe to go the bathroom?
And when he gets close enough whack him with the cane and I’ll grab the camera.
