Where to buy a Finnish flag in Oulu ?

Post by ryon_antoine » Fri Apr 18, 2008 8:20 pm

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

BR

Try a place that sells flag poles – i.e. your local hardware store, rautakauppa: K-rauta, Rautia, Starkki, etc.

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.

Thank you very much for all of these links. I'll try to go to some of these shops tomorrow.
Is the Finnish word for flag "loppu" ?

No, it is lippu. Loppu means "the end".
