Valco Drinking-At-Home-In-Your-Underwear Starter Kit

The Finnish art of drinking at home in your underwear is cultural heritage. It has been practiced for centuries, long before anyone invented a name or an emoji for it. The setup is always the same: you're at home, you have no plans, and you have two requirements. Comfortable underwear, and something that plays music.

Everything else can be improvised.

We put this kit together to honor Finnish cultural heritage. The Mähöne Bros. boxers are the kind of underwear that doesn't chafe, doesn't ride up and doesn't need adjusting at a point where getting up off the couch already feels like an achievement in itself. 93% cotton, 7% elastane, and the color was chosen based on long customer experience.

The Nordell Micro is a Bluetooth speaker that plays surprisingly loud for its size. You can take it out to the balcony, into the bathroom, or keep it next to the couch. With TWS you can pair a second Micro to it later for stereo, if your underwear-drinking hobby turns serious.

Together they cover the two technological basics of a proper night in your underwear. Everything else is on you.

There should have been wine in there too

The original plan was to include two bottles of Valco wine in the kit. Finnish alcohol legislation blocked this so thoroughly that we can't even be bothered to explain it. Short version: if you want a drink with your kit, walk away from your computer and head to the liquor store. Democracy has given you full authority to do so. It won't, however, turn into a kit.

Who is this for?

This is for the person who knows exactly what they're doing on a Friday night at 7:30 PM. For the friend who already has everything except peace. For the one who should occasionally stop and appreciate that, at home, you're allowed to do absolutely nothing.

As a gift it works so well that the recipient thanks you once for the present and five times over the course of the evening.

Mähöne Bros. boxers

Stay put. Don't chafe. Soft cotton with stretch in the right places. Designed in Finland, made in Thailand. They hold up to wear and washing without losing their shape.

Material: 93% cotton, 7% elastane.
Waistband: snug but comfortable.

Nordell Micro

A small Bluetooth speaker with genuinely serious sound for its size. The battery lasts the evening, charges over USB-C, and with TWS you can grab a partner for it later if you want.

Mähöne Bros. boxers

93% cotton, 7% elastane. Stay put, don't chafe, don't ride up. Designed in Finland, made somewhere else. The colour was chosen based on years of customer experience.

Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.

We could tell you how great we are, but that would be a bit suspicious. So we'll let our customers do the talking instead. Reviews are real. Not every product has enough reviews yet, but the ones that do show up first. Photos are taken by customers themselves, and unfortunately it shows.

The best Kalsarikänni you can afford

The best Kalsarikänni you can afford

Pantsdrunk: a short course

The Finnish kalsarikänni is one of our country's few genuinely original inventions. The sauna is still up for dispute with the Estonians, salmiakki has been classified abroad as a chemical weapon, and Oura got sold off piece by piece overseas. But kalsarikänni is ours, and for now you can still practice it without EU certification.

Kalsarikänni shows up in all kinds of counterfeit forms, so let's clarify. It is not a house party, pre-gaming, or après-ski. It is not partying with your trousers off. Kalsarikänni is you, at home, with no plans, no company. You drink exactly as much as you want, listen to exactly what you want, and do exactly as little as you feel like. If a mate rings on a Wednesday evening to ask if you fancy grabbing a burger, the answer is no. Kalsarikänni is a confessional state.

The world is full of things demanding something of you: work, family, wellness apps reminding you that you haven't drunk enough water. Kalsarikänni is a calm protest against all of it. You're not improving yourself, not networking, not doing anything Instagram would high-five you for. That doesn't make it lazy. It makes it honest.

There are two requirements. Comfortable underwear, because the wrong pair will nag at you and suddenly you're thinking about your pants. The philosophical core of kalsarikänni is thinking about nothing. The second is something playing music, because without background noise a human being thinks too much. Everything else you can improvise.

Kalsarikänni is not an escape from everyday life, it's a small tribute to it. If this were a Japanese invention, it would be called yukata-zen.

Great products without the dead weight*

Did you know that almost all the electronics inside headphones come from a handful of giants?

Everything else is just smoke and sales talk.

A small maker like Valco can use the exact same top-tier components as the famous mega-corporations stick in their pricier models.

We just don't have a thousand employees to feed, a Manhattan skyscraper to pay for, or a CEO with a private jet (yet).

Which is why we can give you the best bang-for-buck on the market.

And what happens after you've bought? Our customer service and Valco's in-house repair team make sure our products last. And if you fancy a change, you can trade your old Valcos back in to us. Try doing that anywhere else.

At the end of the day, the point of all this is simple. We sell headphones to fund our own Death Star, so we can rule the galaxy.

*except for the founders' beer guts

FAQ

More answers to all sorts of questions over here.

What's in the bundle?

Mähöne Bros. cotton boxers (pre-browned) and the Nordell Micro Bluetooth speaker. The two things you actually need for a proper pantsdrunk session: something on your legs and something to pipe music out of.

Is the bundle cheaper than buying the items separately?

Yes. You save versus buying everything individually. The money you save goes straight into the Death Star construction fund, so everybody wins.

What is NOT in the bundle?

No booze, no friends, no meaning of life. Unfortunately those don't ship by post.

What if drinking alone in my underwear isn't really my thing?

The products also work fully clothed and stone cold sober. Boxers are boxers, a speaker is a speaker. The combo also works at the cabin, on movie night, or on a Sunday morning on the sofa.

Is there a warranty?

Nordell Micro comes with a two-year full warranty, like the rest of Valco's electronics. The Mähöne Bros. boxers fall under the standard textile return policy: 14 days to return them unused and unwashed. After use, no. Just to spell it out: please do not send us back skidmarked underwear.
