Here are some Japanese Naval Wool Winter Tunics in my collection. First one is an Enlisted Wool Tunic with Flat aluminum buttons and the second one is a Petty Officer Wool Tunic with raised buttons. Both tunics are similar to the Wool Army Tunics but with slight differences.

I have or just sold a photo Of a NLF soldier clearly wearing what looks like a cotton army tunic with Navy buttons. I'll have to go through my junk.Comment

LOL...Scott, it was the Enlisted one. The PO one came directly from a friend who was in Japan on a trip and found it in a surplus store. He came home with bags full of stuff and sent me the PO one.Originally posted by Striking 9th View PostLOL, yet another item you have beat me out of. I think it was the PO if I remember correctly.
