The Yamato Crew store is selling a specially designed pair of men’s boxer shorts. The one-size-fits-all underwear takes design cues from actual anime artwork.

In a 1977 issue of OUT magazine, Susumu Kodai (“Derek Wildstar”) was shown in nothing but his skivvies. The arrow mimics the design on his uniform, but in this case works as a not-so-subtle reminder of where he keeps his junk.

Each pair costs 3,024 yen (about US$25). If you’re adventurous enough, the site classifies the underwear as “costume” wear, so do with that what you will.
