On applying for permission to wear Teekkari cap:
Teekkari cap should be used only in situations worthy of its use during wintertime. This means that permission to use Teekkari cap will usually not be granted to situations such as sitsit, informal events, or traveling. When asking for permission to use Teekkari cap, one should describe why one would like to wear Teekkari cap during the event, and what additional value would wearing Teekkari cap create for the event.

Please remember to ask for permission to wear Teekkari cap as early as possible, since Teekkari Section processes the applications only once a week. Teekkari Section may also need to ask the applicant for additional information if the intended use of Teekkari cap is not clear, which may cause additional delays.

In urgent matters, please contact the Chair of Teekkari Section directly.
