Its stuff like this that makes me very happy I bought my own Imperial Japanese military helmet
Army one or navy one ?
@@hellomoto2084 the Japanese army one , particularly the 1942 varient
It very much looks like an English helmet mixed with an Italian helmet. A much deeper bowl, but the rim is flat; unlike the American M1 or especially the German Stahlhelm 1935.
It does what it's supposed to do, just like it's cousins all over the world: protect the fighting man from shrapnel, that's it. Particularly falling debris from HE shell detonations. If it stopped a bullet, you got LUCKY and it more than likely came in from a shallow angle and just zinged your dome. Great video Han! This was a first for me. It's a smart design and no frills, both are pluses indeed👍👍👍
In my opinion, the Navy made their method neater than that of the Army to send a message that the Navy branch is the better choice/option to serve than the Army branch
Japanese military uniforms are much better than Soviet military uniforms
Not surprising given the hostility between the two
Well it’s more so about Army and Navy officers having different ideas on how equipment should be employed. But the Navy also tied it under the chin like the Army when wearing gas masks or when the straps were later shortened to save material during the war.
@@hattorihan7503 Which method in your opinion is more effective? Personally, I think its the Navy's way of doing it. It seems to secure the helmet even better and is neat on top of that.
@@somerandofilipino6957 The navy method can definitely be a bit more secure but I prefer utilizing the army method since its much quicker to put on and remove, especially in stressful situations.
Thank you for your outstanding demonstration as to how the Type 90 Army helmet is worn in addition to the field cap. Now I understand why the fabric chin straps have extended length.
Very well done.
I have always wondered how the heck these straps work. While I am not really a collector of Japanese WW2 militaria, focusing on US- I have always found Imperial Japanese stuff to be a interesting mix of new, old and traditional. .
I love the WW2 Japanese helmet. And that naval outfit is badass
Yeah it looks good.
Glad you are making these vids. Iam very interesten in these. Thank you.
Another very interesting presentation on a largely overlooked subject. Kudos.
Great Helmet. From the best soldier of WW2. Period!
Captivating.
Well done.
Nice ! I’ve always wondered how to try the helmet on
Cool repro from Nakata Shoten. I have some of his books when he made them for his museum, very interesting material. Is his store still open, and how did you get the helmet (which from my information the store is only in Japan)?
Nakata Shoten mostly stopped producing most of their historical line up after Nakata Sr. died and his son took over. Helmet was bought second hand.
This hat used to be used in Thailand by using a star as a police badge.
Once again great video . Keep these up as you got me interested in Japanese WW2.
They look alot less bouncy then an American m1, great video.
Interesting, nice video. Any reason why they wore the hat under the helmet?
Adds an extra layer of padding. Cap was also designed to fit comfortably under the helmet to solve the issue of having to store it somewhere when wearing a helmet.
@@hattorihan7503 Interesting, thank you
とても好きです
This is AWESOME glad i just stumbled on to your channel an hr ago! Thank you sir. This will help me with my 1/35th scale Japanese subjects! Again thank you.
I'm 100% white and there is absolutely zero chance I'll be able to (respectfully) use this in a reenacting capacity, but as an anthropologist studying the subject living history specialists are vital to our understanding of military culture as they understand history on an experiential level that cannot realistically be conveyed by history books. Keep up the good work! It is valuable to the social sciences!
Ethnicy its not a problem when It comes to reenacting. And even when we think of "accuracy", some europeans fought in the IJA, specially russians from the White Army
Amazing! Love your channel, did any navy caps have the neck flaps? and also do you have any recommendations on how to get a proper naval helmet? Like one with an anchor painted on
Finally my 2 years old question is finally answered because of them but another question is why the Naval hekmet looks like its cover is Cloth
Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very big fan really good vid😊
I always find the Japanese equipment so interesting, it seems more complexed than other countries equipment like American equipment but is cheaper to produce. Americans using gators for the feet and the Japanese using putty’s. Rather than a standard buckle they use ties for the helmet
Love the channel well done.
Hi I really enjoy your videos:) I’m a collector of WW2 Japanese field gear and uniforms.. would happen to know how to bring back and soften hardened WW2 Japanese rubberized canvas ? Thk you .
thank you, i actually learned something new on how exactly the helmet was strapped to the head, and bonus to learn there were 2 different ways between IJA and IJN. 🙂👍
Thank you for the video.
Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
Thank you.
Спасибо!
Very interessting, thank you! Did the Navy use helmet covers because the helmets where painted in a "blueish" colour?
Do you have the pattern for the field cap available?
Nice video, always a good day when a Hattori Han upload!
I have a type 99 helmet with postwar OD webbing added that I received from "Collectors Armory" as a kid in the early 1980s.. Still have it to this day..
Can you wearing japanese uniform during invasion of Java?
Hey Hattori, I’m interested in doing a ww2 era japanese impression in the future. Where do I start? I can’t seem to find many websites with gear
Is all your stuff, like your uniform, and jacket recreations? Or are they refurbished originals
The ones in the video are reproductions but we do have original uniforms
@@hattorihan7503 ahh I see, where do to get stuff like that?
nice, i picked up a type 90 shell from my friend, i ordered a liner from Hikishop but i have no idea how how to install it, i wish theres a video on installing the liner
Is it possible to make a comparison between Japanese military uniforms and Soviet uniforms?
Question is there any evidence of Japanese soldiers using foreign helmets or captured ones in a similar fashion to the Chinese forces of the time?
None, you would however in early pictures see a handful of experimental helmets in and around the early 30s.
I have not seen evidence of it so far.
@@hattorihan7503 thanks for the info
Is there a winter uniform review planned? Overcoats, raincoats, winter hats, etc.?
In the near future.
awsome
The Imperial Navy tied their straps different because they didn't get along with the Imperial Army.
Interesting
Question- would japanese also camo pattern paint their helmets sometimes like the germans? Or at least having multi color camo over caps? As I can see the netting on the army helmet having camo simmlar to japanese tank camo and i remember that some special units had camoflaged uniforms like Giretsu Kuteitai but Idk if they had helmets and caps in the same style or was it just the uniforms.
鉄帽に迷彩塗装はしません。鉄帽の偽装には迷彩塗装ではなく、鉄帽用の擬装網に草や木の枝を挿したりしてカモフラージュしました。また、鉄帽用の他に全身用の擬装網を着用し、草や木の枝を挿して全身をカモフラージュして山野の中に潜伏しました。
陸軍分列行進曲、非常に良い曲ですね。
素晴らしい😮応援します、
My friend, i have always wondered, as the japanese helmet shell looks nearly identical to the swedish helmets of about 1922 onward, did they share a link somehow, ir is it a weird coincidence??? Thanks, i trust your opinion!!!
They tested many foreign helmets and the Swedish helmet was one of them so it is possible that it may have some influence in the shape.
A great yet destructive video
?
How is it destructive....
De donde sacas ese fracmento de tu intro , lo quiero ver completo :)
What was the helmet made of was it hard steel of good quality?
Japanese Type 90 helmets were made with inferior chrome-molybdenum steel. They were thin and only offered minimal protection.
What explains this difference in knot tying methods?
There must be some reasonable reason, or is it just a matter of antagonism between the army and navy?
I’m not sure, but I can imagine the army’s method is better for quick wear, and the Navy usually has more time before combat.
@@Hanner_TenryThe author of the video spent about one minute putting on each helmet.
That is, there is no fundamental difference between them.
In addition, in the navy you also need to quickly put on a helmet, for example during a surprise air attack.
So the difference in tying knots is unlikely to depend on speed.
It seems to me that the main reason here is the antagonism between the army and navy.
@@user-if9hg6xf2v At 4:28 I explained why the Navy did this. Its definitely not from antagonism between army and navy, its just both can have different schools of thought on how each piece of equipment should be worn or used.
Wow very nice 👍
This is fire
is there a reason for the different tying methods for the Army and Navy?
Han did explain that the Navy tying method secures the helmet more when looking downwards.
As of why the difference of choices, I’m not sure.
Maybe the soldiers of the army typically have more urgency to put their helmets on, whereas the navy are typically have more time?
How comfortable is it to wear with the hat under?
Depends on the size of your head. It can be comfy or too tight
Do how they put on underwear.
YOOOO 😂😂😂😂
War criminals..
Okay Korean
The fact is that there were indeed many Korean war criminals among the Japanese army in World War II
Yes, most of the Koreans serving in the IJA were war criminals. Also, all the Koreans who served in the Vietnamese War were also war criminals. You must be very proud.
