Here I would like to introduce an authentic pair of Cold Weather Mittens. These were intended for use in extreme cold climates and existed in several variations, including types for work use and for signal personnel. I will also cover the inner Cold Weather Gloves worn underneath the mittens.
This is an example of an authentic Cold Weather Mess Kit Cover. It was used in conjunction with a Cold Weather Canteen Cover, but Cold Weather Mess Kit Covers are encountered less frequently and are therefore somewhat rarer.
This is an example of an authentic Cold Weather Half Pants. It is worn over the standard military trousers and used in combination with Cold Weather Leggings or Cold Weather Boots.
This is an introduction to original Cold Weather Leggings. Although relatively few examples survive in good condition, they are still among the more readily obtainable pieces of equipment.

The Tube Bag was standardized in 1919 and was used with almost no changes in shape until the late stages of the Greater East Asia War. This time, I would like to introduce several actual Tube Bags manufactured in the latter half of the war and compare and examine their quality.
Here is a comparison of authentic Cold Weather Coats. I also show examples of how to wear the full cold-weather gear.
