From the Kishu Underwear brand, which debuted in 2018, comes a long-awaited new business-style undergarment.



Kishu Underwear, which made its debut in 2018 Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , is a Japanese-made underwear brand born from the pursuit of "what truly makes comfortable underwear?" from the unique perspective of a knit fabric manufacturer located in Wakayama Prefecture, a region famous for its knitwear production.

All processes, from fabric design, knitting, dyeing, brushing, pattern making, cutting, and sewing, are carried out in Japanese factories. The skilled techniques of experienced craftsmen are utilized in each of these fields.



Kishu Underwear Business Short-Sleeve V-Neck Innerwear: ¥4,620

Here's what's so great about Kishu underwear!

This short-sleeved V-neck design is suitable for both business and casual occasions, and is designed to be inconspicuous even when the top button of a dress shirt or polo shirt is unbuttoned! This business-oriented version was created at the request of our underwear buyer and is a new model for 2019.
Leveraging the technical expertise unique to a knit fabric manufacturer, this fabric is thinner than conventional Kishu underwear fabrics yet provides excellent warmth, making it ideal for business settings where it won't add bulk when worn as an undershirt with a dress shirt.


 

Stylist's Recommended Points

Despite being lightweight, it retains warmth remarkably well, and above all, its warmth is exceptional. In the city center during winter, you could probably get by with just a light trench coat over a suit during the daytime.

The MaxiFresh® function prevents odor caused by sweat and dampness.



Stylist's Recommended Points

This simple crew-neck long-sleeved t-shirt is versatile enough to be worn on its own or as an underlayer. Its lightweight yet warm material makes it perfect for short trips and other occasions where you might need a lighter, more comfortable piece.
