Suure Piccolo

The Suure cotton twill coat is made of heavyweight cotton and it has an oversized, straight fit. The overshirt features the Piccolo pattern, which is printed in Helsinki, and the embroidered Marimekko logo on the front left hem. The shirt has a pointed collar, a button closure, and one chest pocket. The cuffed sleeves have button closures. Please note that the shirt has metal-colored buttons, unlike the pictures on the model.

The overshirt is made of 100% organic cotton. This item has a special finishing and patina which gives each piece a unique, distinctive character. Some color tone differences may appear between products.

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.
