vintageproductions Posted October 16, 2014 Share #1076 Posted October 16, 2014 Posted this in the "Fake Tiger Stripe" thread yesterday because I wasn't sure what I was looking at. But, I just picked this up at the local thrift store halloween section for $6. Looks like the John Wayne Sparse pattern. "Vintageproductions" stated it was real. Too bad the sleeves have been cut off. Should I hem the sleeves to tidy them up or leave as is? Leave it alone, don't mess with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefallenbuddha Posted October 16, 2014 Share #1077 Posted October 16, 2014 I agree. A collector altering it in any way further would only lower the value and take away from its historical significance. For all we know, the original owner could have done that to the sleeves.....my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choochoo Posted October 28, 2014 Share #1084 Posted October 28, 2014 I was hoping to find more complete history to the shirt.... I would have kept it if it was interesting enough to me or if it was my size.... So, it's going on the selling block and whatever I get for it has already been used to buy other gear.... I can't help it that militaria is so expensive.... so, what's lame about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soar Posted November 8, 2014 Share #1095 Posted November 8, 2014 Detail. Also the cuff gussets are huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soar Posted November 9, 2014 Share #1096 Posted November 9, 2014 Also came in same shipment as the gold shirt, mint XL classic pattern/JWD pants. The waist is 42"! Its almost impossible to image a scenario where these would have been any use. All of these US-XL pants are ridiculously huge. Perhaps its a manufacturers sizing error. Also, the print is very crisp with coloration similar to that of the mid-weight flight suits - all the XL pants I have seen are like this. I have never seen a shirt with such ridiculous sizing. Again, suggesting the pants are some sort of pattern grading error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
