This is the 1987th Tigerstripe Products with the cotton twill fabric. Last run before ripstop fabric came out.


Within this time frame:

First run are flat buttons.

Second run are bdu buttons.

 

On the photos you see replaced buttons, non typical TSP issued buttons.

Tigerstripe Products to me

AG

Features the tell tail print flaw found on every TSP garment. Take a look right side under the pocket, the " hooked" black stripe that shouldn't be joined like a fishing hook style.

It may be good .

 

I have seen pockets like this before but 4 pocket type .

 

show the seams please .

 

owen

 

I have this exact jacket with the camo BDU buttons. My pockets on the jacket are off somewhat and have been removed and re applied in factory. My pockets angle the ( or did ) the other way so its lower at the armpit. The cloth is light and very thin and you look at it and you can see it tear or rot like magic ! I use to wear mine a lot but the quality isn't what you'd expect for TSP.

p.s.

 

Late 80s, Tigerstripe Products have two kinds of JWD/Classic tiger patterns.

Version 1: complete correct tigerstripes constellation print

Version 2: fault/error part print.

 

 

Early 80s, they have "compacted/compressed" tigerstripe prints

Is that the one with the join running though the print which makes for a very funny print ?

Jupp, thats it.

 

TDS/silver pattern mix up with JWD/Classic pattern.

 

Both shirt are Tigerstripe Products to compare:

 

left side: TSP version 2 with the mix up JWD print

right side: TSP version 1 with correct JWD print

You Vet got his story mixed up a bit .

The shirt you posted is a common US made hunting type that was sold in army surplus shops in the late 1970s -80s .

Lets see the rest of his goodies .

owen

Hi Owen

 

I agree they are US made hunting, but don't agree on the 80s

 

70's yes

Picked up a couple of replicas today. A JWD (i think) and a Golden Tiger. Material is a thinner cotton than the Tiger Stripe Products replicas, but not bad. The JWD shirt is a bit faded. No tags, only a stamped "M"

Any thoughts on those two Tiger bonnies? A friend ask me to post them on the forum for more comments. Personally I think the first one is a Japan or Hongkong made copy, and the second one with ripstop fabric might be a modified TSP piece? Any ideas? Thanks.

Ok, I have a hard time figuring the real tigers out and now I thought I would post this set as an example and to also verify the maker and timeframe and what the distinguishing factor is to identify them. I was told they look like MASH. The previous owner says he bought them from Gilles Bourdeau (author?) in 1998 and he thought they were real. They are a fairly heavy weight. They have a YKK zipper and are marked US-M. Any help appreciated.

Regards, Mitch

Hi Mitch,

 

i think Mash silver pattern came out in 2000 or 2001. Your set looks like Moore or Soldier Of Fortune repros. Its definitiv not Mash!

 

Hope this helps.
