Japanese kit

and a few more recent-- attachment is not available ---- attachment is not available ---- attachment is not available ---- attachment is not available ---- attachment is not available ---- attachment is not available --

My cool Japanese gear arrived from Hiki on Friday.

Unfortunately the tunic and trousers are one size too small for me (XL).
- WWII Japan IJA Type 98 T98 Summer Field Trousers Pants
- WWII Japan IJA Type 98 T98 Summer Field Tunic Jacket

Happy to part with them both for £50.
Otherwise I will return them to Hiki.
I will be at the Eversley Osterbeek game. Can bring there to have a look at it.

If you want more gear, I am ordering the larger size uniform in the next week or so. Can add it to the order.
Banzaiii!!

Id like to try the jacket, hiki stuff is often a bit small. If you are putting an order in I'd like some rank badges ( I'll PM when I'm home later).

if Martin does not have, will take for loan stuff

ps if Martin does not have, can you give the Matt Stewart and can PayPal you cash for it all or trousers or whatever loool

its strange there Japanese slightly small I find , yer there Russian quite large lol

Ok will bring to Osterbeek.
Otherwise it is for Chris.

OK. I'll try the whole lot as it will do for Indochina as well. I'll send you a PM re the insignia.

Cheers
Martin

Lutz's 'Extra Large' uniform is a good fit for me, so I'll be keeping it and future purchasers beware. The jacket fits perfectly, the trousers are a bit loose around the waist and tight on my calves.

Extra Large my arse. Medium.

Whats yer vital dimensions Martin?? You look to be similar build to me (ohh err...)

I had a pair of officers trousers and no way I could get my legs into them to get to my waist everything else not been too bad, but will bump an extra X on my new kit order lol

but unless stick legs stay away from officer trousers, why I make all the officers large lool if i cant have no one can muahahahaha

though think they fit stut at the last game

6'2", 34" waist.

As Chris says, the only real issue are are the bottom of the breeches, which are a bit tight around the calves. I run a fair bit so I do have muscled calves, but I'm no Chris Hoy. My Russian breeches are just the same, but being cotton they do give out a bit.

The jacket fits perfectly and is rather smart.

It is a real lottery with repro sizes, my "large" WPG KD shirt is about 2" short in the sleeves, but the trousers and shorts fit perfectly. Go figure.

and hiki Russian stuff tends to be big, going to add an extra x to my new top order but as everything shut down over there for the new year will wait, but in theory, an xl should fit me but will go for XXL:(

yet sure my Russian top is L loool though they do give different measurements on different items

just received my woollen cap with flaps and a jap grenade pouch from China. 2 weeks delivered. I reckon the grenade pouch will take 4 ball grenades. Hope I can pick some up at a game before June!

Got My jap cap 2 weeks also from China free postage can`t fault the quality

I've already started sorting all my gear out. Looking forward to wearing the new uniform.

Banzai!

i hoping mine on the way or i fubar lol hoping hiki have posted, ordered 18 days ago so fingers crossed as agreed to loan my normal 1 out lol
