Where to find JSDF Uniforms?
 

I'm just wondering, before TM releases the Type 89 to the rest of the world, where can one find a Japanese Ground Self Defence Force Uniform?

This stuff ain't exactly common in Canada (let alone the rest of the world, there's practically no information in regards of JGSDF tactics or weapons save the 'Window-Smashing' videos).

Or will I have to pay to get the box liners of T89's sewn together into a silky shiny suit? :P

Looks an awful lot like dark green spotted flecktarn.

YouTube - Japan Self Defence Force JSDF

dunno how much this'll help, it's a JSDF recruitment video.

eBay? Try searching the foreign servers.

In anticipation of the maritime version of the Type 89

:-D
dance dance!

Here comes window-smashin people (JADF).

Good luck - that stuff's rarer than rocking-horse-manure. And when any of it is available, the strange thing is that its made in Japanese sizes....

Oh...so I'll never find a pair that'll fit eh?

GOOD GOD! I HATE KNOTS NOW!

Maybe find a silk screener that can custom print the fabric, then hand it over to a tailor (there is one in Ottawa that makes custom military uniforms, must be some in other cities) to get it made? Gonna cost an arm and a leg but I see no other way unless you are a Japanese sized person.

Well I am japanese, but i'm not japanese sized unfortunately. Oh well.

Nice music video anyhow.

I found one on Ebay a few months back, actually in my size (I'm 6'6", 220#), but didn't even think about it then.

They would SOOOO get PWNDin a conflict ........ i mean they have a frigin HUEY for god sakes !!!

But other than that it's pretty good and it would be neat to see people running around with Type 89s and JSDF uniforms.

What's wrong with the Huey? It's a great lifting/utility platform. Just because it's an older aircraft doesn't mean it has no purpose. Having a Huey in a conflict doesn't mean they would get PWND.

I'm not saying it's no good, in fact it's my favorite helicopter but the fact is it's pretty outmatched nowadays.

Might be going out on a limb but in Japan?


Otherwise, pick up a copy of ARMs Magazine, at the back there is a ton of gear retailers who carry all sorts of Asian gear and ship to Canada.

I guess you could go PM mctaz for it. He seems to have access to a giant warehouse of BDU's :P.
