 ====== Star Army Jika-Tabi, Type 38 ======
-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]]. They can be used in place of boots in most [[:Star Army of Yamatai]] uniforms. They are excellent for walking, running, and climbing. A pair of jika-tabi cost just 30 [[yamatai:KS]] at the [[stararmy:clothing_store|Star Army Clothing Store]]--significantly less expensive than standard [[stararmy:uniforms:footwear|Star Army leather boots]]. The jika tabi should be worn with tabi socks (not regular socks) or "[[stararmy:uniforms:tights|tabi tights]]."

 ===== 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]].

 ===== Design =====
+{{  :stararmy:uniforms:footwear:jika-tabi_edit.png?300|Jika-tabi}}
 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.
