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."

Customer feedback seems to indicate that Japanese men are happy with the overall theory, and find the more masculine cut of the garment to be pleasing.
The only semi negative feedback listed is that the men wearing these bras desire a range of cuter designs in more colors
