Yksi, kaksi, kolme is one, two, three. What comes next depends on which Finland you have been introduced to. In this case it is the sauna, which is the correct answer and the one most Finns would arrive at without needing the count.
The sequence on this shirt is not a joke about Finnish culture so much as a summary of Finnish priorities. The numbers are the formality. The sauna is the point. Everything that comes before it is just counting toward where you were going anyway.
Wear this on the way to the sauna, or on the way back, or at any point in between when someone needs a reminder of the order of operations.
The front print runs the count and lands on the only destination that was ever in question. This unisex Bella and Canvas 3001 tee is printed in Europe using durable direct to garment printing that keeps the design soft and long lasting. The fabric is soft and lightweight combed and ring spun cotton with a comfortable regular fit that suits men and women, and it comes in a range of colours including Navy, Forest, Charity Pink and Kelly. 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.
