Japanese men's-bra

Commercial copy of men's brassiere.
(*These are billed as a 'premium brassiere' for men)

"The fact that none of the models appear to actually be wearing the man bra indicates strongly that they may not have been aware of the type of ad campaign they were involved in, which is unfortunate because they would have looked quite stunning in any of the black, white, or pink offerings."
