This is an extremely well-preserved Second War period Japanese Army greatcoat constructed of a brown wool exterior. The collar has a metal hook on the inside left that meets a single metal loop on the right. Empty spots for shoulder straps or boards measuring approximately 29 mm (w) x 83 mm (h) lay vertically across both shoulders. The right breast has a row of five non-magnetic metal buttons meeting an equal number of reinforced buttonholes on the left. The left breast has a matching row of buttons with the middle button missing (spare button found in pocket and can be easily reattached). The left hip pocket opens with a diagonal slit and the right hip pocket is reinforced with a wool flap. The back features a single flap with three of the four buttons missing. A Japanese maker’s label sits on the inside left breast. The greatcoat measures approximately 500 mm shoulder to shoulder with an arm length of 510 mm (an additional 55 mm of the sleeve hemmed and stitched to the inside of the sleeve) and a body length of 1130 mm. In addition to the missing buttons, there is evidence of material fatigue from use, but the coat is in an otherwise very fine condition.
