FYI the old school, long time experienced collectors have always had their own names for the various patterns. That book and the dude who wrote it rubbed people the wrong way. Without getting into back and forths, that is just how it is.

Look when an author alienated his captive audience it’s a sour note that cancels out much of his work.

So, don't take it bad I just try to understand, did every things is wrong in that book? or not complete ? or just outdated ?

This was a recent purchase and I never would have touched this one if it hadn't have come from a friend of mine and if it hadn't have came from the Bragg area.

 

This is a late 80s or early 90s era Tiger Stripes Products jacket with sewn on tapes and SSI. Jacket is sun faded from use.

 

From my research, I have tentatively identified the soldier it belonged to and he was assigned to 7th SFG throughout Central and South America. I have reached out to him, but have not heard back from him yet.

Insignia.

Insignia appears to have been sewn to jacket for quite some time.

Thanks for your kind words, my friend. I hope the vet responds as well, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

The "JWS Tiger" he is asking about is "John Wayne Sparse". I know many around here object to Johnson's names, but I don't know the alternative name to "translate".

[Bjokke1979]

Early jws john wayne sparse whit large black stripes. Dont know what else to name it. Since what year was it in use and is it possible some pbr unit members worn them.
