This is a single, handmade Etchu Fundoshi made with high-quality bleached cotton. This is a slightly shorter Etchu Fundoshi, with a front panel (maedare) that reflects the preferences of "Old Man Wada." * Tate-mitsu (vertical fabric): 96cm long, 30cm wide, reinforced with a full-circumference fold. * Yoko-mitsu (horizontal fabric/cord): 138cm long, 2cm wide. * Reinforced with "chikara-ito" (strength thread) at the intersection of the tate-mitsu and yoko-mitsu. * Size after washing: * Tate-mitsu: 94cm long, 30cm wide * Yoko-mitsu (cord): 136cm long, 2cm wide * The front panel (maedare) is cut shorter to suit Western-style clothing. Long front panels are suitable for kimonos, but with Western clothes, a long front panel can get tangled in the crotch, and in the case of shorts, it may stick out. Nowadays, a shorter front panel is more practical, and the author finds it more stylish. * The yoko-mitsu (cord) 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 cord. 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 Etchu 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, as they are breathable and absorbent, and are a clean and simple traditional health underwear. It is also recommended for those who are concerned about the tightness of elastic or the rash caused by synthetic fibers in pants or briefs. The Etchu 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 the heat and humidity, as it is cool and healthy. "Longevity" is the name given to this product, which is equivalent to the Etchu Fundoshi that 72-year-old Old Man Wada currently uses, and each one is sewn with care, wishing the purchaser good health and happiness. \#EtchuFundoshi \#Fundoshi \#WhiteFundoshi \#Shirofun \#LongevityFundoshi Pattern/Design: Plain Color: White
