gimp Posted June 20, 2013 #201 Posted June 20, 2013 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.
bravo_2_zero Posted June 21, 2013 #203 Posted June 21, 2013 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.
bravo_2_zero Posted June 21, 2013 #204 Posted June 21, 2013 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.
PVT Connelly Posted June 22, 2013 #205 Posted June 22, 2013 Kammon-man, you want the seam of which part, pockets ? interior ? so a friend think also that's a copy, all your words confirm.
gimp Posted June 22, 2013 #206 Posted June 22, 2013 told already http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/161456-tiger-stripes-part-ii/page-31 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

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 ?
gimp Posted June 23, 2013 #208 Posted June 23, 2013 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
gimp Posted June 23, 2013 #209 Posted June 23, 2013 Is that the one with the join running though the print which makes for a very funny print ? Here are some examples of the early TSP with the "compacted/compressed" tigerstripe prints
kammo-man Posted June 23, 2013 #210 Posted June 23, 2013 I am good . I will let Professor Gimp take over . owen

choochoo Posted October 14, 2014 #213 Posted October 14, 2014 These are my Tiger Stripe products. The greens and browns seem off.
choochoo Posted January 10, 2015 #214 Posted January 10, 2015 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"
gimp Posted January 10, 2015 #215 Posted January 10, 2015 The first one is Tadpole Sparse TDS (Silver) and the second one is Advisors Sparse ADS (Gold) pattern. Both are from gogogo1944 HK
choochoo Posted January 10, 2015 #216 Posted January 10, 2015 Thanks! Does he have a website or ebay store?
Goingecho Posted April 30, 2015 #218 Posted April 30, 2015 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. Hat #1
Mitch Posted July 10, 2015 #221 Posted July 10, 2015 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
Mitch Posted July 10, 2015 #223 Posted July 10, 2015 Last 2 Thanks edit: The colors may be a bit off due to my camera !!
gimp Posted July 12, 2015 #224 Posted July 12, 2015 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.
