1. Looks like men’s national costume from Valkeala: http://www.kansallispuvut.fi/puvut/valkeala_mp.htm According to the site both long pants and those knee pants you have are used.

4. Pretty sure that is the Valkeala men’s national costume, also known as the Kymenlaakso costume. (Source: I’m a costume designer from Kymenlaakso region) http://www.kansallispuvut.fi/puvut/valkeala_mp.htm

7. Looks great!

8. Very cool! Remember those are usually handmade and are very expensive due to the labour in making them.

9. I’m getting strong Red dead redemption 2 vibes from this!

10. You look like a hobbit while wearing it 😀

11. FYI, the national dress is equivalent to a white tie dress (frack) and can be used in occasions like the independence day reception at the presidential palace.
