Hi All,
The following photos and collections are from our member, Jareth-san.
I am helping him to post some photos of IJN winter uniforms.
1.) IJN Heavy Winter Coat
This is one nice winter coat, and I think the fur materials might came from rabbits or bears.
Issued from Yokosuka Arsenal.
Size 2.
October 1939 Made.
There is still a small manufacturer tag at the left side, which indicates a Takashimaya made example.
Takashimaya is a very famous shopping mall. Back in pre 1945, Takashimaya sold lots of Army and Naval Officers' uniforms and gears. They even sold German Luger Pistols ! Some extra interesting info.
2.) IJN Mittens (Trigger Finger)
These are not commonly encountered IJN materials.
1937 Made.
3.) IJN Winter Shorts
I have never seen this particular IJN example. So I don't know much about them.
A very interesting piece.
Issued from No.2 Food and Clothing Depot (Navy)
August 1943 Made.
Regards,
Taka
