Thank you for viewing! This is a high-quality, 100% linen steteco (Japanese underpants). It is handmade. I purchased the fabric and sewed it myself. Originally, this linen fabric was used for the undergarments worn beneath the kesa (Buddhist robes) of temple priests. It has a moderate stiffness and the characteristic crispness of linen. As you can see in the photos, it's thin enough that the edge of a tatami mat is slightly visible. I made these for myself and wear them under kimono or pants. As expected of linen! I used to wear cotton chijimi (crepe) types, but these are incomparably more comfortable. The fabric seems to be of very high quality, not clinging to the skin while still absorbing moisture, so I'm always feeling dry. As someone with a tendency to sweat heavily in the lower body, I find them very comfortable. The waist is elastic and can expand up to 104 cm. The elastic is cut to 80 cm and inserted. It's temporarily secured, so please adjust it to your preferred length. The length is around the knee. I prefer this length because if the steteco were longer, down to the knees, they would stick to my sweaty skin when I bend my knees. Also, when sitting seiza (formal kneeling), the hem wouldn't get caught in the back of my knees, where sweat tends to accumulate. These are low-rise, so they are easy to put on and take off even when wearing a kimono obi (sash). The rise is shallow, which also prevents the fabric from sticking between the thighs. I purchased a very long piece of fabric, so I am currently making more steteco. If you are interested, please check back later. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, as these are handmade. - Color: White - Style: Steteco, Pettipants - Material: 100% Linen - Waist: Elastic waist #Steteco #KimonoUnderwear #Kimono #GenuineLinenSteteco #Pettipants #Underwear #YukataUnderwear #LowRise #StetecoLinen100%
