With its offical adoption in December of 1923, Production would near imminently ensue. the field m/1923 uniform held the ambitious goals to inevitably replace the widely mass-produced aging m/1910 uniform. Though production began swiftly after adoption, both the uniform and the military's ambitions suffered the consequences of the unfortunate political climate of its time. The 1925 Defense Act passed by the Riksdag significantly decreased the military's overall budget. Despite this setback attempted military restructuring aimed to address this inconvenience was made to keep the uniform rollout on track, but further budget cuts followed with another crippling Defense Act in 1928. Somehow things would become more difficult with the worldwide economic depression in 1929, so although plans to continue the m/23 production would continue, the realities of fully equipping the military became far-fetched for the foreseeable future. Funds were prioritized elsewhere, and the m/1910 contuined to remain the militaries primary field uniform.

The m/23 would henceforth receive considerably limited production and distribution, typically issued in small quantities to specific units and regiments. Despite its limited issuing, the m/23 quickly gained a reputation as a "ranked" uniform, often being exclusively issued to NCOs and field officers within a company or battalion. This perception wasn't helped by the officer's variant, which unlike its field variant incredibly swiftly took off and became widely popular amongst many Swedish officers thanks to its sleek, modern design – a stark contrast to the majority of the aging uniforms the military still utilized. Nevertheless, the m/1923, even in its limited role, continued to see use well into the 1930s. By the mid 1930’s the political climate throughout Europe had changed drastically, With the fear of war breaking out looming on the horizon and the Riksdag and military recognizing the need for urgent reform so the decision was made in 1935 to begin the process of building up the military once more. The military's rebuild program would make sure not to exclude uniforms. Once more, in hopes of finally replacing the still-prevalent outdated m/10 uniforms, the military focused on two initiatives: introducing a modernized and improved cut of the m/23 uniform, and offering a conversion program to upgrade existing uniforms to the new design. After the passing of the optimistic 1937 defense act, the new m/1923-37 uniform along with its conversions would be introduced as well. However, despite the introduction of its successor, the m/23 would slightly begin to be more thoroughly issued throughout the military even into the Beredskapsåren period. The m/23 and its successor, the m/23-37, during the wartime period however saw a short lifespan. By mid-war, they were rapidly replaced by the more successful m/1939 uniform. Alas by the war's end, the m/23 and m/23-37 were almost entirely phased out, bringing an end to over 20 years of one of Sweden's most ambitious, yet unfortunate, military uniforms.
