Tagline

Wear proper underwear

YG-X is a derivative line of men's underwear launched in Japan by Gunze in 2002. It combined the soft feel of cotton with moisture absorption and release, as well as moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties provided by functional composite yarns. The line focused on business-oriented innerwear designed to be worn under shirts and suits. Its range included T-shirts, tank tops, slit-neck shirts, and boxer briefs, and it was characterized by comfort and dry performance using the functional material Acticot. It is a discontinued line that was developed primarily during the 2000s.

An early men's functional underwear line launched in 2002 under the YG name. It combined cotton's soft feel with “Acticot,” a functional material offering moisture absorption and quick drying, emphasizing performance in response to sweat and humidity. The line extended across multiple categories, including T-shirts, tank tops, slit-neck shirts, and boxer briefs, and was characterized by its focus on moisture absorption and release, as well as moisture absorption and diffusion. While later lines DOUBLE HOT focused on warmth for autumn and winter, NextRA+ on modified cotton and lasting functionality, and CUT OFF on specification design, YG-X is positioned as YG's pioneering functional line focused on moisture management and moisture absorption with quick-drying properties.
