Teekkari culture

Overalls

The "official uniform" of finnish students, suitable for most occasions. In Finland each subject association has it's own overalls recognizable from a combination of color and symbols. Indecs' overalls are white with the guild's logo in the back with the curve on it being colored differently for each year group. The overalls are purchased during the freshman autumn by the year group as a whole. In order to achieve this the year group selects a project team after the beginning of studies.

The overall project culminates in an overall sauna, where the overalls are distributed!
