1.This is the way to tie the straps on the cherry blossom type borrowed from the Army. But this is the early style method. Later the straps were lengthened to allow carrying by hanging on backpacks, which lead to the method shown as 5.
2.This is how the navy wore the Type 2 Army T90s around 1937-38. The point was tying it in the back to prevent the helmet from dipping forward when you had to suddenly duck and crawl. Two variations of how it went around the chin are shown.
3.Typical prewar method for the Type 3 navy helmet with the 1.2mm shell. When wearing a gasmask they employed the so-called necktie knot that allowed easy adjustment of tightness and could easily be undone by a single pull.
4.Used on the Type 3s during WW2 when they made the straps short to conserve material. These were knotted at both ears and could be put on quickly just by tying the ends together.
5.The method used for the paratrooper helmet developed in 1941, as well as for the late style cherry blossomed helmets.
