Finland Post (Itella Posti) Tom of Finland stamp series begins September 8th. Already being described as the “new Penny Black” of the 21st century, these stamps are a one-off opportunity to own a real piece of leather history and your very own ‘bit of Tom’.

LeatherWest are pleased to offer these highly sought after stamps. At present we are the only UK option to pre-order. We are confident the price of £5.50 (and equivalent local currency) is the best you will find, cheaper than even ordering direct from Finland yourself!

By securing bulk orders LeatherWest are not under cutting the price of the stamps, but we have been able to identify a modest saving on shipping costs. This gives LeatherWest the opportunity to pass on the savings on shipping to our readers and supporters. To celebrate ‘Tom’, we want to be able to give all leathermen and their friends an opportunity to obtain their very own “little bit of Tom” at the best price possible and raise a little money from the sale of each stamp to reinvest in the leather community here.

The price of £5.50 per item ordered is a flat rate price and we post to any UK, EU, US and global address anywhere in the world. If you are in Uzbekistan, Angola, Vanuatu or Bolivia, we will post to you! The price you see is the price you pay.

The stamps are issued on September 8th and LeatherWest will take delivery from Finland Post within a week after. We will dispatch all orders during the month of September 2014.

As we have been able to obtain a block set of the stamps from Finland, we know that stamp dealers are already set to sell these iconic Tom of Finland stamps for several times more than the face value come September. As soon as the stamps are issued don’t be surprised to see the value exceed £10 plus postage a set!

So book yourself a piece of leather history now and your grab a bit of your very own “bit of Tom”. Thinking about it, why not buy an extra set for your friends? It makes for the perfect gift for any leatherman and their friends and would be great for Christmas 2014 too!
