Designed in Finland. Crafted to order in the EU, UK, US or Australia, depending on where it's going.

This is heavyweight organic cotton with a proper, substantial feel. The cotton is certified organic under GOTS and the fabric is OEKO-TEX certified, which means it has been tested free from harmful substances. Ring spinning gives it a finer, tighter yarn, so it feels soft from the first wear and keeps its shape. It is 100% organic cotton at 180 g/m².

What people buy alongside this one.

Organic cotton

Grown without the synthetic pesticides and fertilisers used in conventional farming, then made into a fabric that's soft, heavy and built to hold a print for years. Created to order on OEKO-TEX certified fabric, never mass-produced.

The Skimother is the Skifather's equivalent. Equal in skill, equal in duration, equally uninterested in stopping for conditions that others would call an acceptable reason to stay inside.

For the Finnish mother who skis through the winter without explanation or instruction. The skis are waxed. The trail is known.

Shipping and returns

Shipping is free to almost everywhere, with no minimum spend and nothing added at checkout.

Your order is made for you, then posted from the print site nearest to you. Most arrive in 7 to 10 days, and you get a tracking link as soon as yours is on its way.

You have 30 days to return it. If the fit is wrong, email joel@veryfinnishproblems.com and we will sort it out. It needs to come back unworn and the return postage is yours. The refund policy has the full details.

Care and materials

Machine wash it cold and inside out, then tumble dry low or hang it up. The print will thank you for it.

The design is printed straight into the fabric (direct to garment, or DTG) rather than pressed on top, so it stays soft and will not crack or peel the way a transfer can. The fabric is OEKO-TEX certified, which means it is tested free from harmful substances. Every item is made to order, so nothing is mass produced and nothing sits in a warehouse waiting for someone to love it.

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.

Designed in Helsinki by someone who actually lives here

Very Finnish Problems is run by Joel Willans, a British writer who moved to Finland over twenty years ago and never quite got around to leaving. Every design comes out of real Finnish life he's had with his Finnish wife, Anna and their kids, and a community of more than 1.3 million people who know exactly what no niin means.
