Here is a set of trousers I find intresting.The inner pocket material appears to be made fro a bandolier or carrier for 7.62mm ammo.

for sure its from a bandoleer for 5.56 ammo. you can see the LC "Lake City" and the start of the ink stamp "M193" which is the name for the 5.56 55 grain ball ammo and the ammo came on 10 round stripper clips for loading the 20 round M16 mags

Hello Gents,

 

I would appreciate some assistance with this uniform. It is made of a very light material and has no markings. The buttons, from what I can tell, are the US made version. As you can see the pockets are on the bottom of the shirt and there are no 'map' pockets on the trousers.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

 

Paul

Backside. Must have hade some time of funny sun exposure due to the uneven fading. Arms show more color than the body. Or maybe the dying technology was really crappy.

The majority of gold tiger stripe that I have seen has some uneven fading. It is frequently like your shirt where different parts have different fades i.e. sleeves on your shirt or pocket flaps or cuffs, etc, etc. I have often wondered about this as the other Japanese manufactured TS does not seem to show such variations on a regular basis. Either the dyes where very unstable or the garments parts where cut from different batches of fabric. All in all does not seem to be the usual Japanese high quality.

Here's a published shot of an advisor and his radio guy.

I have seen the full version of this picture many years ago.....

My question is has anyone seen the full version also ?

I seem to remember the advisor was wearing tiger trousers.

It always struck me as he's wearing golds and Erdl poplin...........

Plus as I had not seen the picture in 30 years I began to doubt I had even seen it in the first place !!!

I just scored s killer tiger hat from Jason

At the dog tag

Many years ago I got the suit in the same pattern from him and thought I would never see A hat in the pattern

Member Soar has one and I honey badgered him to part with it but alas not.

Here's mine it may be the same as his but I forget where it is on this thread

Anyway it was a good hint and many years later that this puppy came my way

Thanks J

Seeking knowledge on this piece and I figured I'd consult the experts...

 

Was purchased from a fairly reputable dealer as part of a former SF Officer's estate. Granted I understand they were different units, don't know if this was a trade in country or not.

 

What are the collective thoughts here?
