This is a single, handmade Echigo Fundoshi (loincloth) made with high-quality bleached cotton. It's a shorter-front-panel Echigo Fundoshi, carefully crafted by "Old Man Wada." * **Tate-mitsu (Main Body):** Length 96cm, Width 30cm, reinforced with a full-circumference fold. * **Yoko-mitsu (String):** Length 138cm, Width 2cm * Reinforced with "chikara-ito" (strength thread) at the intersection of the Tate-mitsu and Yoko-mitsu. * **Size after washing:** * Tate-mitsu: Length 94cm, Width 30cm * Yoko-mitsu (String): Length 136cm, Width 2cm * The front panel (maedare) is cut shorter to suit Western-style clothing. Longer front panels are suitable for kimonos, but with Western clothes, they can get tangled in the crotch, and in the case of shorts, they may stick out. Nowadays, a shorter front panel is more practical, and the author finds it more stylish. * The Yoko-mitsu (string) is nearly 140cm long, allowing it to be worn by those with a larger build. The 34cm wide bleached cotton is divided into four equal parts and folded four times to create a sturdy string. As shown in the photo, it won't loosen if you tie it so that it passes about 10cm below the navel, over the top of the hip bone. **[Reference]** The Echigo Fundoshi that Old Man Wada has been using for over half a century was invented in the Edo period. It was welcomed by Japanese men because it was the perfect underwear for Japan's hot and humid climate, and it has survived for hundreds of years without disappearing. The ones made of bleached cotton are still popular today, and they are a clean and simple traditional health underwear with excellent breathability and moisture absorption. It is also recommended for those who are concerned about the tightness of elastic bands or rashes caused by synthetic fibers in pants or briefs. The Echigo Fundoshi, with its Japanese spirit, is also a good gift for birthdays, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, sixtieth birthdays, etc., and is also welcomed by people overseas who are suffering from hot and humid climates as being cool and healthy. At 72 years old, Old Man Wada sews each one with care, wishing the purchaser good health and happiness, and has named it "Longevity," which is the same as the Echigo Fundoshi he currently uses.
