When on it’s way to a student gathering or a party the student puts on it’s overalls so it can evade the judgementful looks from people while crawling on all fours through the tramline worksites on Hämeenkatu. Afterall, a student is meant to relax sometimes during tiring studies. Going to student gatherings and parties the student also acquires patches that can be sewn to the overalls as badges of honor.

Engineering Students of Tampere TIRO sells these invisibility cloaks, more commonly known as student overalls, on the ground floor of Solu (L-building of the Kauppi campus) from 25th to the 27th of August from 10 am – 2 pm each day. When you join the Union of Professional Engineers in Finland you can get the overalls for a discounted price of 30 €.
