Made in Finland

There could not be a more natural birth place for the Original Hand Made BIRDMAN® T -shirts than Hopea - Aurinko Osuuskunta located in a small village in the middle of Finland called Ruovesi, right next door to the Hells lake national park.

Part of my family is from that area so I used to spend my summers there when I was a kid and later on as well as I always went back to seek some peace and quiet. Ruovesi is the nearest village some 33 km away from my hide out and it was there I found Sanna and her crew making all kinds of handcraft.

Wingsuit project to start with something simple..

It was a very hot summers day in 2019 I went to see Sanna with a cardboard box and head full off drawings and ideas. We had been talking before of making some stuff under BIRDMAN® brand so we decided to start with something easy as a test. That small test was project UKKO which flew its maiden flights in August, the same year.

Original BIRDMAN® T - shirts is a bit more simple project but made with the same dedication to quality and professional unique manufacturing methods as are used in manufacturing wingsuits.

Form follows function.

I am personally most happy to be able to work together locally supporting small business using local raw materials. Our products are 100% Finnish. We make each product unique to order but we can handle larger quantities as well, dealers noted.
