Extremely Rare Complete Set – Imperial Japanese Army Officer Work Uniform (Type 3), WWII

This item was acquired as a matching upper and lower set. Both jacket and trousers are unused and in exceptionally well-preserved condition.

Details:

The jacket is stamped on the lower left front interior:
Size (2)

The trousers are stamped on the inner right rear:
Size (3)

Both pieces bear inspection marks and are clearly stamped:
Shanghai Clothing Depot
Manufactured in 1944 (Showa 19)

Originally, this was a 4-button enlisted/NCO work uniform. However, officer-grade buttons were professionally sewn on, converting it for officer use. As such, this is an officer-converted service/work uniform from the wartime period — a fascinating and highly collectible variation.

Condition Notes:

• Both pieces remain unused and in outstanding condition.

• Slight tonal variation between the front and back fabric panels of the trousers (minor shade difference).

• No significant damage or wear observed.

A complete, matching upper and lower set of an officer-used Type 3 work uniform in unused condition is extremely scarce. Especially with clear 1944 Shanghai depot markings, this set represents a rare opportunity for serious collectors of Imperial Japanese military uniforms.

Hard to upgrade. Museum-level potential.
