POSTED: 10:55 am EST November 10, 2005

TOKYO -- The Japanese government wants workers to dress warmly this winter and save energy. And a Japanese company is giving an unusual lift to that campaign.

Government leaders have been promoting their "Warm Biz" drive nationwide. Now Triumph International is offering the Warm Biz Bra that the company said will add "a little fun and chic to office wear." (Click here to see photo of bra.)

The bra has removable pads that can be heated in a microwave or hot water. It also features long, furry straps that wrap around the neck, like a scarf. There also are matching shorts.

The company said the material helps save warmth, thus cutting down on the need to turn up the heat.
