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.

Löyly is what happens when water meets hot stones. Not the steam exactly, though steam is what you can see. It is the wave of heat that lifts off the rocks, crosses the room and arrives on your skin all at once, and Finnish has a word for it because Finnish needed one. English never got round to it.

Every sauna contains one person who wants more. They sit nearest the ladle. They have opinions about the water, the stones and the interval between throws. When somebody near the door says that was probably enough, they are already reaching for the bucket. Nobody appointed them. They simply took the job.

This is the shirt for that person.

The print keeps it plain. Three curls of steam above the word, and underneath it what you are. Set in a heavy condensed grotesque so it reads across a changing room.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions.

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.
