Jokapoika
Shirt
The Jokapoika button-up shirt is made of cotton in the Piccolo pattern, which is printed in Helsinki. The unisex shirt has a loose fit, a straight cut to the hemline, little side slits, and a chest pocket. Metal buttons secure the front closure and cuffs.
This fabric was printed with a colour mixed from dyes left over from our own printing production. Colours of individual products may vary due to the different mixtures of leftover dyes used.
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.
