Another new Cosplay product!

As promised, we are continuing to add more products to our popular line of anime/manga/cosplay related items. This month, we are pleased to add our own version of the ever-popular 'Loose Socks', as seen in many anime and manga series over the years, most recently worn by cute heroine Misaka Mikoto of 'A Certain Scientific Railgun' fame. The Model 1040 Loose Socks are 100% cotton socks, but much longer than usual at about 90cm long, and designed to be worn bunched up around the lower leg and ankles. First appearing in the early 1990's, they continue to play a large part in the world of Cosplay. Plus, of course, they are a perfectly serviceable pair of thick, warm socks, made from high-quality fabric, which should last a very long time. They come in one size, which should suit the majority of wearers, either male or female, and retail at £9.99GBP per pair.

New Products for 2015!

940 Navy

Here at Legwear4Men, we are constantly on the lookout for new and interesting products to add to our range of men's legwear and hosiery, plus related items. We have a number of new items in our range for 2015; following the success of our range of Japanese 'anime' related products, introduced last year, we have added more products to that range.

940 Red

940 Red

First is our own 'unisex' version of the ever-popular Japanese school sports shorts known as 'buruma' ('bloomers'), the 940's are a faithful replica of the original Japanese design, but tweaked to allow for wear by either men or women. Available in four sizes, S, M, L & XL, and three colours, Red, Navy and Burgundy, they have the ubiquitous double white stripe down each side, and even have a little pocket inside the waistband, for keys or change! Selling for a very reasonable £9.99 per pair, they are in stock now, and already proving popular with our customers. Regarding sizing, we would suggest the smaller sizes as being more suitable for ladies, and the larger for men, but the stretchy nature of the 100% cotton interlock fabric will allow for some leeway; also, it will depend on how tight-fitting you want them to be. They are not actually intended to be very close-fitting, but in many anime series they are portrayed as being pretty tight, but that is probably to show off the wearers' behind to best advantage, rather than any sense of practicality! If you are a fan of Japanese anime or manga, get yours today!

1050 'nīsokkusu'

Next up is the new 1050 'nīsokkusu' over-the-knee three-stripe sock, in black with white stripes. Made from 100% cotton, they will fit most men and women. Famously seen in a number of recent anime series, these are the genuine Japanese item, not a replica; they can be seen on a number of Japanese retail sites for somewhat more than the value-for-money £5.49 per pair we are asking for them. A fun item, suitable for male and female anime fans, they are in stock now; get yours today!

1050 unisex three-stripe socks

We will be adding some more anime/manga/cosplay items in the very near future; watch this space!

Another new Anime/Manga-Related Product!

L4M 325 Men's 'Shima-briefs' Striped Briefs

The new Model 325 'Shima-brief' men's briefs from Legwear4Men are a classic men's brief design, but based on the famous 'Shimapan' (short for 'shima-pantsu'; Japanese for 'striped panties') which are known and loved by 'otaku' (fans) of Japanese 'anime' and 'manga' worldwide, as they are famously worn by many 'anime' heroines. They are a classic 'brief' style, and come in the popular blue/white horizontal stripe. Available in sizes M, L, XL and XXL. They are made from soft, stretchy cotton/Lycra, and are incredibly comfortable.

Here you can find the female version of the same product on our 'sister' site, First4Legwear

So whether you are a fan of Japanese animations or comics, or into 'cosplay', or just like striped briefs, these are the ones for you!

£6.99 per pair.

New Products, and a new range!

Here at Legwear4Men, we are always on the lookout for new and interesting fun products, and this month we have a new category we have not entered into before; Anime, Manga and Cosplay-related items. We already have a couple of items which broadly fall into this category, but in future, we will be adding products specifically to this category.

The first such product is the new L4M 1020 unisex striped opaque thigh-highs, known as 'shima-socksu' (Japanese for 'striped socks'), which are seen in many 'anime'  shows and manga comics. They come in one size, which will fit heights of up to 6ft (185cms), and three colourways; Blue/Black, Red/Black and Purple/Black. They are made from comfortable fabric comprising 97% nylon and 3% elastane, and seem to be quite durable. They are a 'stay-up' design, and as such do not require suspenders.

They are in stock now, and retail for a value-for-money £3.99 per pair.

Stay tuned for more items in this new category, some of which are in production now, and will be coming into stock in the next few weeks!

New Products! Thigh-Highs and Leggings.

 We are pleased to announce the arrival in stock of two new products; the Legwear4Men 1010 Opaque Thigh-Highs, and the 615 One-Size Leggings.

First the 1010 Thigh-Highs; we have been asked occasionally over the years for stockings and thigh-highs, but until recently, we felt there was insufficient demand to warrant carrying them on stock. However, in the last 12 months or so, we have been receiving more and more requests for them, so we decided to give it a go! We worked with the Chinese supplier who provides us with many of own own-brand and unisex products, and came up with the 1010's.

They come in one size, which is suitable for heights of up to 6ft (and we are able to confirm this!); they are opaque, 120 denier microfibre/elastane, and have cuffs at the tops of the legs (no suspenders or grip tape required!) and reinforced toes. They are essentially opaque tights without the brief section; they just stop at the tops of the wearer's legs. This can be useful for wearing under trousers, particularly if the wearer prefers to wear shorts (which would not work with tights) rather than briefs, as underwear. They are very comfortable, and seem to be durable too.

Made popular in recent years due to their being worn by many 'anime' and 'manga' heroines in the globally popular Japanese cartoons and comics, where they are known by the Japanese term 'ni-sokkusu' (literally 'knee-socks'); however, the 1010's do not need 'sock-tachi' (sock glue!) to keep them up. If you are a fan of anime or manga, you should check these out! Great for cos-play!

They are available in Black, Beige (Skin-tone), White and Blue, and sell for a very reasonable £5.99 per pair. Get yours now!




Secondly, the new 615 one-size, unisex leggings, come in a wider range of colours (Black, Sky Blue, Champagne and Navy) than our existing, popular 610 leggings (which are only available in Black). The fabric of the 615's is shinier and slightly lighter in weight than the 610's, and is very stretchy; we tested them on wearers up to 6ft in height and 36" waist, and they fitted with room to spare. Slightly cheaper than the existing 610's, they retail at £9.99 per pair, and are in stock now.
