Star Army Exercise Uniform, Type 40

The Type 40 Exercise Uniform is the Star Army of Yamatai's set of clothing for physical training. It is also used as sleepwear or swimwear.

History

In YE 38, the Star Army switched from the Star Army Exercise Uniform, Type 29 to the Star Army Exercise Uniform, Type 38, which added important features like cold-weather components. However, it turns out that if you give soldiers uniforms that are all dark blue, they keep getting run over by cars during early morning runs. So in YE 39 the Star Army rushed to procure a modified design the would become standard in YE 40. Due to the accelerated development and distribution, the Type 40 Exercise Uniform was actually the first “Type 40” item in the Star Army inventory.

Design

The Type 40 Exercise Uniform consists of a white cotton ringer T-shirt with Star Army Regal Blue borders. It is bacteria-resistant, which helps combat body odor. The blue portion use an advanced bleach-resistant dye. On the shirt is a print of the Star Army Hinomaru and the text “STAR ARMY.”

Design-wise, the Type 40 is basically a cross between the Type 29 and Type 38 that keeps the best of both.

The shirt is worn with a pair of Star Army Regal Blue shorts, either loose fitting basketball style shorts or volleyball-style stretch shorts.

The cold weather pants are made of tear-and-strain-resistant, fire-resistant synthetic nano-polymer that is essentially a silky-feeling super polyester that won't chafe. There is an extra cushioning pad in the knee area.

Both the long shorts and pants have two front pockets and one rear pocket, as well as a small stretchy interior pocket for keys or earplugs. The stretch shorts only have the interior key pocket.

Variants

A version of the shorts and pants with an elastic tail aperture is available for soldiers with tails.

Usage

The uniform is worn with dark blue, black, or white socks. Optional components include the two-tone Type 38 zipper hoodie, windbeaker pants, yoga-style pants, and a pair of suitable shoes, primarily black or white in color. Star Army Undergarments are not required but females are encouraged to wear a sports bra for support when appropriate.

The shorts can be used as swimwear and they dry easily (faster than the T-shirt).

It is authorized and encouraged to wear a yellow reflective belt around the waist with this uniform when running on roads shared with ground vehicles, especially in low light conditions.

Cleaning

The exercise uniform requires no special washing or drying and can be cleaned in any standard_laundry_room. It is okay to use bleach to remove stains from grass, blood, etc. from the white top.
