Tuomi (Finland) 70s, Terylene, Worsted Twill, Structured SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY S.O.S. | sundazed.io/sos Sharp peak lapels, triple topstitching, and patch pockets reflect 1980s formalwear reinterpreted through Finnish industrial finesse. Produced by Finnish label Tuomi during the industrially transformative decades of the mid-to-late 20th century, the teal peak-lapel sport coat exemplifies the Nordic application of modernist tailoring principles fused with Cold War-era textile innovation. Rooted in the postwar Finnish ethos of pragmatic sophistication, Tuomi’s garments catered to regional markets where functional tailoring, climatic appropriateness, and technical fidelity were prioritized over branding or seasonal fashion cycles. In alignment with contemporaries like Nanso and Puku, Tuomi bridged classical menswear architecture with the mechanical optimism of techno-fiber adoption—most notably through its use of ICI-developed TERYLENE polyester, emblematic of Finland’s industrial textile economy and its adaptation to synthetic innovation during the Cold War. This particular garment is a two-button, single-breasted men’s sport coat, rendered in a deeply saturated teal wool-polyester twill and constructed with wide peak lapels, three external patch pockets, and sharply executed tonal topstitching. Designed as an assertive, professional-leaning piece, it bridges the space between late 1970s executivewear and spring-fall Nordic urban tailoring.
