Yes that are the ones 8)
Which book are these pics from ?

If you can ask it for me that would be nice.

"Won" winter pants at an auction so the boots are next.
Hope they aren't too expensive though.

sounds like your getting kitted out to take the Chinese on :lol:

the book is one worth getting its 'Uniforms and equipment of the Imperial Japanese Army in world war 2' by Mike Hewitt.

usually a copy on ebay for about $40 or something, excellent book.

I'll ask if anyone is making them for you

you won't regret it mate, its what i used to tell you about your coat, hundreds of pictures both period and modern photos of the uniforms and equipment. and the best bit is all of the uniforms and equipment in the book apart from about 2 items are from the authors own collection

You can never have enough information :D

I have also the book Imperial Japanese Army and Navy uniforms & Equipment by Tadao Nakata and Thomas B. Nelson but this has only nice pictures but very little information about each item.
