Introducing 'Gorilla Armor'
Doshisha Co., Ltd., headquartered in Osaka, Japan, has launched a groundbreaking functional innerwear called
Gorilla Armor. This innovative product is a result of a collaboration with Romance Kosugi Co., Ltd., a Kyoto-based company known for its exquisite bedding products. The Gorilla Armor employs unique fibers infused with
Fuji lava powder, achieving remarkable infrared radiation efficiency, peaking at over 90%.
Release Details
The much-anticipated Gorilla Armor will be available across various outlets starting September 1, 2026. Customers can find it in Don Quijote stores, Apita, and Piago locations (some exclusions apply). Following this initial launch, it will also be available in the Doshisha official online store (Doshisha Marche), as well as at Bic Camera Group stores, Aeon stores, and Amazon from September 15.

Development Background
Doshisha and Romance Kosugi have previously teamed up to create the
Gorilla Hug, a versatile blanket also featuring the special Fuji lava powder fibers. Drawing from the insights gained during that project, Doshisha identified the potential for an innerwear that allows people to seamlessly incorporate self-care into their daily routines without additional effort. Thus,
Gorilla Armor was born, which feels like donning an invincible gorilla in everyday attire.
Key Features
1. Special Fiber with Fuji Lava Powder
The core feature of Gorilla Armor lies in its special fabric infused with
Fuji lava powder. This naturally sourced material enables optimal infrared radiation emission, supporting an effortless self-care routine during daily life. Note that this efficiency applies to the dual-structured components.
2. W Structure for Enhanced Warmth
The back of the clothing utilizes a unique
W structure, designed to provide extra warmth and comfort by adding thickness to the material. This thoughtful design allows for a tactile and cozy wear experience.
3. Innerwear with Cups for Women
The women's versions of Gorilla Armor include user-friendly cups, ensuring discreet coverage that won't show through outerwear. Perfect for all-day comfort, whether you're headed out or enjoying time at home.
4. Available in Men's and Women's Styles
Offered in both tank tops and short-sleeve tee styles for men and women, customers can choose according to their preferences and lifestyles. Note that female styles will be exclusively available in select Don Quijote, Apita, and Piago locations.
