The air is channelled inside the ring to a front cut-out, which diverts the air upwards to keep the front window clear. It appears that this was not completely satisfactory as the air inlet has been changed back to the normal design, entering on the back of the head with air channels inside to keep all the windows clear. Most helmets of this pattern have been converted as described, but the old system being left in place makes them more interesting to collectors. * see pages 120-121, vol 1, 'Diving Helmets and Equipment Through The Ages'.

The fabrics were intentionally selected or treated as part of the production process to give a ragged or distressed look. This radical approach to fashion was diametrically opposite to Western fashions of the time and caused a sensation when first seen in Paris. See 'Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion' pp.44-45 for illustrations of similar 'distressed' effect ensembles and a reproduction of the image used in the Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 1983 catalogue, photographed by Peter Lindbergh, which shows an almost identical blouse. CONDITION REPORT: Good condition, no problems
