Haramaki

[Tturtle]

Does anybody wear the Japanese belly warmer called Haramaki? When I looked it up the definition mentioned Japanese grandmothers wearing this item, but I first saw a Yakuza wearing one in the film series the Yakuza Papers. (Great films by the way.) I adapted an old sweater sleave into one and it works great.
