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

This is soft, combed ring-spun cotton. Combing pulls out the short fuzzy fibres, then ring spinning twists what is left into a finer, tighter yarn. The result feels softer, wears better wash after wash and gives the print a smooth surface to sit on. Think of it as the shirt equivalent of a Finn after their first coffee, smoother and noticeably less prickly. It is 100% cotton at 142 g/m², light enough to wear most of the year.

What people buy alongside this one.

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.

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. 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.

Joel Willans, founder of Very Finnish Problems

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.
