Hei,
I would like to buy a Finnish flag before leaving the country, but I found nothing yet in Oulu. I would like a standard sized flag, but all I have found yet was very small flag and I don't like them so much.
So does anyone know a place in Oulu to buy one ?
Thanks

Try a place that sells flag poles – i.e. your local hardware store, rautakauppa: K-rauta, Rautia, Starkki, etc.ryon_antoine wrote:I would like to buy a Finnish flag before leaving the country, but I found nothing yet in Oulu.

If there’s a Scout store of some sort in the area, they might also be able to help.
If everything else fails, try these:
See the usage instructions as well, and check out the official/legal proportions and colors. All Finnish flag-makers (and generally all Finnish flags sold in Finland) should automatically adhere to these standards but that is not always the case if you buy a “Finnish” flag from a foreign manufacturer.
Note that there are a couple of standard sizes from which you should pick according to the length of your flagpole.
