Olaf Benz X Yasuo Sawazaki

Olaf Benz has collaborated with renowned Japanese men's underwear expert Yasuo Sawazaki to create an exciting new line of men's underwear. This collaboration combines Japanese expertise with German craftsmanship.

Yasuo Sawazaki has been working with Olaf Benz for over 20 years as our Japanese distributor. His love for fashion and underwear, however, started much earlier. He has always loved fashion since he was little. One summer, when he was 13 years old, he used his pocket money to buy his first underwear for himself – it was a memorable day.

Even then, he recognized the allure of what remains unseen, understanding that the true appeal of underwear lies in its hidden nature, known only to the wearer. So, Yasuo started to look beyond what is seen in other aspects like art and culture, too.

Yasuo’s career started in the restaurant business, but his passion and interests always laid in fashion. One day, he decided to go after his dreams and started working in the fashion industry, where he still works to this day.

But he also continued dreaming. Yasuo wanted underwear that bore his name. Therefore, in the beginning of 2023, Yasuo and the Olaf Benz team began talking about a collaboration adapted to the Japanese market that would also bear Yasuo’s name.

Using Yasuo’s unique knowledge of the Japanese underwear world and our German craftmanship and expertise in underwear, we have created two exclusive Olaf Benz x Yasuo Sawazaki series.
