Moi is the word Finns reach for to say hello, and it is about as lavish as Finnish greetings get. Say it once and you have said hello. Say it twice and somehow you have said goodbye, which tells you most of what you need to know about how Finland handles small talk. This soft and lightweight unisex t-shirt keeps things admirably brief for anyone who loves Finland, the Finnish language or the gentle art of saying very little.

The shirt itself
This is not a tourist shop shirt that goes stiff and sad after one wash. The design is printed straight into the fabric using DTG, so it stays soft and will not crack, peel or fade the way a pressed on transfer does. The blanks are OEKO-TEX certified, which means they are tested free from harmful substances and safe against your skin. Every shirt is printed to order in small numbers rather than mass produced and left in a warehouse, so what arrives is made for you and built to be worn for years.
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.
