The “Sweatshirt,” featuring a lively design with the entire Simpson family printed on the front, is an item that is sure to be the centerpiece of any outfit. It is priced at 3,990 yen (tax incl.) and is made from a heavyweight USA cotton material that is smooth to the touch and resistant to pilling, demonstrating a thorough commitment to comfort.

Towel-in-Pouch
This unique “Towel-in-Pouch” seems useful in various daily situations. Priced at 2,000 yen (tax incl.), it boldly features Bart in one of his classic poses. The biggest feature of this product is its convenient 3-way functionality: it can be used simply as a pouch, you can take out the towel stored inside to use it, or it can function as a pouch with the towel still attached.
