J000294 (IJA) EM/NCO'S WINTER FUR CAP.
A standard pattern cap as issued to Japanese troops for cold weather conditions. Its exterior crown is comprised of six triangular sections of olive drab wool which meet at a wool-covered "button" to its apex. mall, "D"-shaped flaps of the same material are sewn along the seam to the base of the sections above each ear. Beneath these extend olive drab wool panels which cover the ears, are joined by another panel along the back of the neck, and could be fastened under the chin to the front. A circular hole for each ear is cut into each of these panels, which could be covered by the aforementioned small flaps. Each of the small flaps have rabbit fur lining their interiors and have olive drab loops to their outside edges. These loops mate with either the buttons sewn to each side of the crown, or the buttons sewn below each of the circular openings to the lower panels. A button is also sewn forward of each of the ear openings. A pair of ties are sewn to each side to the interior, with one being almost torn in half. The interior is lined in white cotton that bears an ink stamp. To the front of the cap, upon the olive drab wool base, the outline of the five pointed star can faintly be seen, as it has been removed. The wool is in good condition with typical wear and knapping, with the fur being in very good condition.
