NEW YEAR, NEW THINGS vol.2
Get your life in order in the New Year. Like grooming and undergarments.

We eat osechi, go to Hatsumode, and have New Year's parties. After the New Year's events, the next step is to turn our attention to life over the next year and get our affairs in order. May 2026 be a good year for you. We hope that you will find such and such things that will support a comfortable life.

I want to enjoy the openness of the trunks.

One of the top things to do at the beginning of the year is to buy new underwear. Since it is said that underwear lasts only one year, this is not only a good luck charm, but also a perfect timing. Until now, boxer shorts have been the mainstream, but considering the recent global warming, trunks are definitely the way to go. In particular, naturally derived materials that feel good against the skin are particularly comfortable.

THREAD, MOUTH AND THE MOON

Silk invites you to feel the finest.

With the coming of the New Year, some of you may be wishing to furnish your surroundings with quality products. Some of you must be thinking about this. How about starting with the basics of life: underwear? Threads, Mice and the Moon's trunks, with their impressive three-button waistband, are a different kind of underwear. The classic look is one thing, but what makes them special is the use of broadcloth woven with ultra-fine silk yarn 100%. The luxurious finish combined with superb comfort will naturally lift your spirits. It is perfect for a little luxury in the New Year.

The power of hemp that makes you relax.

As the name suggests, "Hemp Trunks" by JERKS features a fabric made of Hemp 55% and Cotton 45%. When you touch it, you can feel its firmness, but when you actually put it on, it is surprisingly soft to the touch, and you can't help but relax your expression. It is just right for this time of year when you are a little nervous after the New Year. Another charm of hemp is that it becomes smoother and smoother after repeated washing. The comfort of these pants will change as the months go by, which is another thing to look forward to. The deep crotch makes these shorts perfect as lounge shorts in the summer. It would be good to buy several pairs and rotate them.

BARAILLE & GARMENTS

Traditional trunks tailored in oxford.

A staple in our wardrobe is the button-down shirt. The oxford fabric often used for this item is highly breathable and has an appealing washed look. A piece from [Barile & Garments] gives off a traditional mood and a pleasant sense of humor. The careful stitchwork and locker loops at the waist are important details that remind us of the shirt. The slightly coarse weave of the fabric conveys a fresh air that is appropriate for the New Year. You can look forward to the way the fabric will become tighter and tighter as it is washed repeatedly. Because it is something you use every day, an item that is full of attention to detail will enrich your daily life.

BROWN by 2-tacs

Merino wool is still soothing.

Merino wool has been attracting attention in recent years as a natural functional material. Its fine and soft fibers are soft to the touch and have excellent temperature and humidity control properties. In addition, its anti-bacterial properties help to reduce odors caused by perspiration, making it an excellent match for underwear. Using such materials, the trunks of "Brown by Two Tacks" are made in the simplest and most practical way, and firmly reflect the brand's philosophy. It goes without saying that these trunks are useful not only in daily life, but also for traveling, camping, and business trips. Recommended for those who want to choose underwear for the new year with proper reason.

MUJI

The greatness of Lyocell, which is unfamiliar to me.

When it comes to choosing things, if possible, I don't want to think about anything else. In such cases, MUJI is the place to turn. Trunks made from Lyocell, a recycled fiber derived from wood, are characterized by excellent moisture absorption and desorption properties that prevent stuffiness. They are moist and smooth to the touch, making them stress-free to wear. Furthermore, the less constrictive feel is also favorable. A customer review on the online store even says, "It feels open, like you're not wearing any pants. If that's what they say, we want to find out the truth. The affordable price also encourages such feelings.
