Jokapoika

The Jokapoika button-up shirt has a relaxed, straight fit and it features the Piccolo pattern, which is printed in Helsinki. The shirt has a pointed collar, a metal button closure, and a chest pocket. The cuffed sleeves have slits and metal button closures. There are small side slits at the hem.

The Jokapoika shirt is made of 100% linen.

In 1953, the very year she joined Marimekko, Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi created Piccolo, a striped fabric pattern painted with vivid brushstrokes. Three years later, the Jokapoika (every boy) shirt made from the fabric appeared in stores and the streets – for good, it seems.
