This is a set of two self-made Etchu fundoshi (loincloths) made with high-quality white bleached cotton "Gekko" from Sakai, Osaka. These are short-front-panel Etchu fundoshi, made with a focus on the design by "Old Man Wada." ● Tate-mitsu (vertical panel): Length 96cm, Width 30cm, reinforced with a full-circumference fold ● Yoko-mitsu (horizontal tie): Length 138cm, Width 2cm ● Reinforced with power threads at the intersection of the Tate-mitsu and Yoko-mitsu ● Size after washing Tate-mitsu: Length 94cm, Width 30cm Yoko-mitsu (tie): Length 136cm, Width 2cm ● The front panel is cut shorter to match Western clothing. Long front panels are suitable for kimonos, but with Western clothing, a long front panel can get tangled in the crotch, and in the case of shorts, it may stick out. In modern times, a shorter front panel is more practical, and the author finds it more stylish. ● The Yoko-mitsu (tie) is nearly 140cm long, allowing it to be worn by those with a larger build. The 34cm wide bleached cloth is divided into four equal parts and folded four times to create a sturdy tie. 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 the hot and humid climate of Japan, 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 bands or rashes 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, and sixtieth birthdays, and is also appreciated by people overseas who are suffering from the heat and humidity, as it is cool and healthy. At the age of 72, Old Man Wada, wishing for the good health and happiness of the purchasers, has named these "Longevity" and sews each one with care, which are the same as the Etchu fundoshi he currently uses.
