How to Measure Your Head

  1. Grab a soft measuring tape or a piece of string (like twine or a shoelace) and a ruler or measuring tool
  2. Wrap a soft tape or string around your head to measure about 1/4 to 1/2 inch above your ear and about 3/4 to an 1" inch above your brow line (see image)
    • Mark the tape or your string, where it intersects, with your finger.
  3. Record your measurement in inches or centimeters (centimeters is often more accurate)
    • If you're using a string, run it along side the ruler as many times as necessary to get a complete measurement
  4. MEASURE AGAIN!
    • Always measure more than once until you get the same number twice
  5. Find your size in the chart for the perfect fit

Description

The Japanese Empire M1886 Meiji Medical Officer Visor Cap is a finely crafted historical replica inspired by the original caps worn by medical officers (軍医) of the Imperial Japanese Army (日本帝国陸軍) during the Meiji period, specifically Meiji 19 (明治19年). This cap reflects the early modernization of Japanese military uniforms and the distinctive design used by medical service personnel in the Japanese Empire.

Constructed from premium-quality materials, this visor cap features a structured crown, reinforced visor, and period-accurate detailing, consistent with the Meiji Second Type (二種) regulation design. Attention to craftsmanship ensures durability, authentic appearance, and a comfortable fit suitable for both wear and long-term display.

Perfect for collectors, military reenactments, educational purposes, theatrical productions, cosplay, or museum-style exhibitions, this replica cap captures the historical essence of Imperial Japanese Army medical headwear (日本軍 医療部隊 制帽) while maintaining a polished and professional presentation.

Packaging & Delivery:

Each cap is carefully packed in protective packaging to preserve its shape, visor alignment, and detailing during transit, ensuring it arrives in display-ready condition.

Note:

This is a high-quality historical replica intended for collectible, reenactment, educational, ceremonial, and display purposes only. It is not an original Meiji-era artifact. Custom sizing, special requests, and bulk orders are available upon request.
