JamieGerman44, a nice original tunic, looks to be a 98shiki Gun-i/Type 98 (1938) tunic...we dont see many Japanese items here, is it made of cotton or wool ? on the photographs it looks to be cotton....I thought cotton was for summer, and wool for winter....the strap at the rear, is a "stable" strap, and was intended to be connected around the belt to stop the weight of the bayonet from pulling the belt assembly askew ! Prost ! Steve.

Re: WW2 Japanese Winter Tunic
I love Japanese tunics. I wish I knew more about them, though. Yours looks really nice!
I will have to post mine. Does anyone here read Japanese?
