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👍👍👍

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

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

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.

Glad you are making these vids. Iam very interesten in these. Thank you.

Another very interesting presentation on a largely overlooked subject. Kudos.

Captivating. Well done.

Once again great video . Keep these up as you got me interested in Japanese WW2.

This hat used to be used in Thailand by using a star as a police badge.

Nice ! I’ve always wondered how to try the helmet on

Love the channel well done.

Great Helmet. From the best soldier of WW2. Period!

They look alot less bouncy then an American m1, great video.

Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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.

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. 🙂👍

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.

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

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

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

awsome

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.

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

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.

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

is there a reason for the different tying methods for the Army and Navy?

@Hanner_Tenry

7 ай бұрын

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?

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!!!

@hattorihan7503

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.

​@@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.

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.
