The Finnish face is not unfriendly. It is efficient. It communicates what is necessary and withholds what is not. This is a feature, not a malfunction. Other faces leak information constantly, every flicker of discomfort, enthusiasm or uncertainty that serves no one. The Finnish face has solved this.
For anyone who has been told to smile more and has found this suggestion unhelpful.
The front print is the deadpan Finnish face itself, doing exactly as much as it needs to and no more. This tee is printed in Europe using durable direct to garment printing that keeps the design soft and long lasting. It has a classic men's fit and comes in a wide range of colours including Black, Navy, Green Olive and White. We offer free worldwide shipping with no minimum, so your shirt arrives wherever you are.
About Very Finnish Problems
VFP was started by British author Joel Willans, who met his Finnish wife in London and moved with her to Helsinki in 2002. Over the next two decades his observations of Finnish life grew into a community of 1.3 million people worldwide. Every design is inspired by real Finnish life and created by Joel and his team in Helsinki. Joel is also the author of the Very Finnish Problems books, written after many years of living in Finland and still not fully understanding it.
