“Viyella-puserossa ja konttoriesiliinassa” on er\u00e4\u00e4n uuden ruotsiksi ilmestyneen kirjan nimi. Kirjaa n\u00e4kem\u00e4tt\u00e4 uskaltanee v\u00e4itt\u00e4\u00e4, ett\u00e4 siin\u00e4 on varmasti puhe konttorineidist\u00e4, sill\u00e4 viyella-pusero ainakin on konttorineidin vaatekappaleita. Mik\u00e4 sen mukavampi asu onkaan koneella nakutellessa ja konttorip\u00f6yt\u00e4\u00e4 hihalla hierottaessa vuodesta vuoteen kuin luja, pitk\u00e4hihainen viyella-pusero. Onpa se monta vertaa somempikin kuin jokin vanha viralta ty\u00f6nnetty “pyh\u00e4hame” tai kissahtanut, antiikkinen silkkipusero.

\nOn kyll\u00e4 totta, ettei korkeakauluksinen, suoratyylinen urheilu- eli paitapusero sovi kaikille, niin tyylik\u00e4s kuin se kaikessa vaatimattomuudessaan muutamilla onkin. Hyvin lihavat tai muuten lyhyt- ja paksukaulaiset eiv\u00e4t usein voi k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 sit\u00e4 – ainakaan eiv\u00e4t ole siin\u00e4 edukseen – mutt’ei puseron “pukemattomuus” aina johdu siit\u00e4k\u00e4\u00e4n.

\nKas, ajat ovat huonot, sen tied\u00e4mme. Jos mieli kest\u00e4\u00e4 el\u00e4m\u00e4ntaistelussa, on paras seurata aikaansa. Aviomiesten ja isien ei ole syyt\u00e4 viel\u00e4 hermostua, sill\u00e4 t\u00e4ll\u00e4 kertaa olemme harvinaisen j\u00e4rkevi\u00e4. Onpahan vain kysymys siit\u00e4, ett\u00e4 naisten on entist\u00e4 enemm\u00e4n ty\u00f6t\u00e4 teht\u00e4v\u00e4, muutoin meid\u00e4t hukka perii ja meid\u00e4n maamme samalla. Mutta meh\u00e4n tunnemme osamme: “Rakasta, k\u00e4rsi, ahkeroitse vainen!” Etenkin viimeksimainittu on t\u00e4rke\u00e4t\u00e4. Ja nainen onkin ihmeellinen (on niin hauska p\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4 itse itse\u00e4\u00e4n kehumaan), pystyy kaikkeen, miehisiin virkoihin, kotiaskareihin ja usein molempiin yht’aikaa. Pankaapa miehet ompelemaan itse vaatteensa, sen vuoksi ett\u00e4 r\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4lien laskut ovat vaikeat saada kokoon. Ei tule mit\u00e4\u00e4n.

\nEsipuhe oli pitk\u00e4 ja ik\u00e4v\u00e4, mutta sellaisia ne ovat miestenkin kirjoissa.<\/p>\n
Puserokirja – Eeva Harri & Ellen Svartstr\u00f6m,\u00a0<\/strong><\/span> From the Vapriikki-vintage fair I managed to find this marvelous little 1920’s book about blouses. It is written in a funny way so I thought to share some of it with you today.<\/p>\n “In viyella blouse and office apron” is the name of one new book, published in swedish. Even without seeing the book, I’m sure they are talking about office assistants, because viyella-blouse certainly is office assistants garment. Is there any nicer outfit when tapping your type writer\u00a0or rubbing the office table with your sleeve, year after year, than strong longsleeved viyella-blouse. It is many times cuter than some old demoted “Sunday\u00a0best” or shrunken antique silk blouse. Puserokirja – Eeva Harri & Ellen Svartstr\u00f6m,\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>

\nIt is true, that high collar, straight sports blouse, also called collar shirt, does not suit all, as stylish as it is\u00a0on some people, in it’s simple\u00a0way. Very fat or otherwise short and thick necked people are not often able to wear it – atleast not if they want to look their best – but that is not always the reason why blouse does not suit you.

\nWe know, the times are bad. If your mind is strong enough in the battle of life, it is best to follow the time. This is not the reason\u00a0for husbands and fathers to get upset, because this time we are quite sensible. It’s just the matter of the fact that women have to work even harder, otherwise we are doomed and our country with us. But we know our tasks: “Love, suffer, work!” Especially the latter is important. And woman is amazing (it is so much fun to compliment yourself), they can do anything, manly office work, home chores and often both at the same times. Make the men sew their own clothes, just because tailors bills are too big to pay. That does not work.

\nPrologue was long and boring, but that’s how they are even in men’s books.<\/p>\n
