-The //Type 38 Jika-Tabi// is a model of [[wp>Jika-tabi]] (written 地下足袋 in [[language:Yamataigo|Yamataigo]]) that was introduced into service in [[calendar:YE 38]].

 ===== History ===== ===== History =====
-Starting in [[calendar:YE 37]], the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]]'s military, the [[:Star Army of Yamatai]], began allowing the replacement of boots with jika-tabi in its uniforms. The first uniform they were authorized to be used with was the [[stararmy:uniforms:field_uniform_type_37]]. These were very popular. In [[calendar:YE 38]], the Star Army created a new design of jika-tabi that was usable with more types of uniform, including the Class B duty uniforms such as the [[stararmy:uniforms:duty_uniform_type_35]] and [[stararmy:uniforms:coverall_type_36]].+Starting in [[timeline:ye_37]], the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]]'s military, the [[stararmy:start]], began allowing the replacement of boots with jika-tabi in its uniforms.

 ===== Design ===== ===== Design =====
-The jika-tabi is composed of sturdy, matte black fabric and has a divided toe area. It is about the same height as a combat boot. The outer fabric is composed of flame-resistant meta-aramid material and a layer of stretched polytetrafluoroethylene, which is waterproof but breathable. Water beads off of it and it allows moisture to escape, keeping soldiers' feet dry. The boot also has a reduced n-IR signature. The interior fabric is made of white silk.  It is opened and closed at a seam along the rear using twelve metal tab closures called //kohaze// that hook into loops of fabric.+{{  :stararmy:uniforms:footwear:jika-tabi_edit.png?300|Jika-tabi}}

 It has a firm yet flexible rubber sole that allows the wearers to feel the ground but also provides protection. The rubber sole is gray colored and has a heavily textured surface. They have better traction than regular boots do. It has a firm yet flexible rubber sole that allows the wearers to feel the ground but also provides protection.

 ===== Care Instructions ===== ===== Care Instructions =====
 The Type 38 jika-tabi is difficult to get dirty since liquid does not soak into it, but if it does, it can be cleaned with a horsehair brush or a damp washcloth. The sole can be cleaned with a plastic scrubbing brush if necessary. To clean the interior: mix a mild laundry detergent in lukewarm water; use a sponge to rub the interior of the boot until clean; use a dry washcloth to absorb excess moisture, and then let air-dry for a few hours. The Type 38 jika-tabi is difficult to get dirty since liquid does not soak into it, but if it does, it can be cleaned with a horsehair brush or a damp washcloth.
