Hot and Naked Finnish Sauna T-Shirt

In Finland, hot and naked is a perfectly reasonable description of a Saturday evening. The sauna is the most democratic institution in Finnish culture: everyone is equal when there are no clothes and the temperature is eighty degrees. Nudity in the Finnish sauna is not immodest, it is correct. The heat is the point, the nakedness is the obvious consequence, and the combination produces something that Finland considers one of life's essentials.

A shirt that is immediately understood by any Finn and requires a brief explanation for everyone else, which usually ends with them asking where the nearest sauna is.

Unisex fit, true to size. 100% combed and ring-spun cotton (heather colours contain polyester). Fabric weight 4.2 oz/yd². Pre-shrunk, side-seamed, with shoulder-to-shoulder taping.
