Question about IJN Officer Pants and Jacket
I have a some pics of a pair of summer white IJN officer pants and jacket that have markings. I don't know much on how the markings are supposed to look. Do the markings look correct and original for WW2 era? The material looks to be linen, did officer pants and jacket come in that material as well or is it a post war material? Thanks!
Re: Question about IJN Officer Pants and Jacket
The markings are a combination of laundry marks and the owners names. Since the two names shown are different, it would appear that the "set" has been assembled from separate elements. The items are consistent with uniforms in use prior to the end of the war. Japanese naval officer uniforms were tailor made so there are always minor variations. Does the last picture belong to the first four?
