J005193 (IJA) EM/NCO'S FIELD COMBAT SIDE CAP.  

The standard field cap used by the Japanese army until the end of the war. The wool blend used in the construction of the dark olive drab body and visor in this example shows nap wear and period use. A army pattern star, in yellow wool, is sewn to its front. All of the factory machine stitching is original and untouched. The adjustable chin strap, which is made from leather, is complete with its two metal attachment buttons and two sliding metal adjustment buckles. Three ventilation holes, with reinforced stitching, are to each side of the cap. Three holes, each with reinforced stitching, are on either side of a 4cm vertical slit to the reverse, where its original tie string is looped between them for size adjustment. All four of the subtle, original attachment loops for the neck flap are intact. The interior is unlined. The 3.5cm sweatband is made from leather. Very nice worn and used example.
