Japan Airlines has teamed up with Sumitomo Corporation to launch a trial of a clothing sharing service, which is called “Any Wear, Anywhere.” The idea is that foreign tourists and business travelers landing in Japan on JAL will be able to rent clothes for their trip, meaning they just have to bring their underwear and socks.
Here’s how JAL describes the concept behind this service:

Guess visiting Nipon is off my ‘bucket’ list.
ROTFL!
I’ve been waiting for years for someone to do the same thing for pocket knives. I hate having to check a bag just to transport a tiny little pocket knife. Or two
🙄
That would be a great feature for hunting rifles.
Lol.
When I was in Japan last summer, they questioned me about a set of lockpicks I carry with me in my wallet. The TSA have never caught it.
Would this slogan: “Borrowed Threads, No Regrets!” be better?
Yes, Japan is one of the courtiers, I liked to visit, but I would never live there.
I fulfilled Japan in my bucket list a while ago, it looks like I will not visit Japan now at all!
I’m picturing those hick / hayseed clothes that George Costanza was wearing after keeping that guy’s suitcase.
Oh so building extra sets of clothing not needed is going to save the earth?-)
Not that the earth gives a crap what we do cause it will be around long after us.

Similar story. I was flying back to Chicago from Monterrey, Mexico. The inspectors found a nail clipper, buried in my briefcase, that had a very small nail file on it. They insisted I could not take the clipper with me onboard because of the 1.25” long file that was integrated into the clipper. I broke the file off in front of the inspector and put the clipper back in my briefcase and boarded. Still amazed to this day they found that clipper (which I had traveled with for years).
The TSA and their inspections are a clown show that make Moe, Larry and Curly look competent.
Feel guilty, Produce CO2. Breathing produces CO2. Media harping incessantly in "messaging" creates guilt in the gullible.
It's an internet age. Stay at home, buddy, and stop traveling completely. you can do it! Buck up, Bucko!
After landing on Maui, I’d go to my favorite thrift shop and get the clothes I needed for vacation. Then they’d go back to the thrift shop when I flew home.
Well played...
I travel with quite the collection of AC/DC adapters - one for my cell phone, one for my SLR, one for my zoom camera and one for a computer.
I used to be able to travel with a long-distance card I kept in my wallet.
I put my metal stuff in a large clear plastic bag after learning about doing that at Gatwick airport.
If they could hook up with Hello Kitty then I would be all in.
At lower altitudes, the absorption of CO2 is pretty much drowned out by water vapor. Lower altitude CO2 gets washed out by rainfall.
At higher altitudes, the air is thin, has little water vapor and the CO2 absorption doesn’t much matter either.
The CO2 lies are only good for cheating people of color in foreign countries out of higher prices for their oil and enriching Western crony capitalists and a Swedish family.
A hen supervisor at a top-flight chicken outfit like Tyler Chicken doesn’t need to dress with a lot of flash.
