kammo-man Posted September 5, 2016 Share #1405 Posted September 5, 2016 What became the most famous of all tiger stripe clothing began hitting the silver screen as the war was actually happening. Original Okinawa manufactured cloth was procured by the studios and made into Hollywood non standard but look a like garments. They followed the basics but actual correct details are slightly different from issue items. There are 3 variants. Here's a green beret type Classic pattern with makers label.

kammo-man Posted September 5, 2016 Share #1407 Posted September 5, 2016 This pattern was used in various movies. Close encounters of the third kind used this tiger. Here's a shirt with a look a like name tag made from non issue tape that is typical for a background actor wardrobe.

kammo-man Posted September 5, 2016 Share #1408 Posted September 5, 2016 Again the US ARMY is on non standard tape. Look a like works ok....

kammo-man Posted September 5, 2016 Share #1411 Posted September 5, 2016 Don't believe me ? Here's a issue one on the left Here's the paramount on the right. Right has an extra pleat copying the natural fabric fold. This leads me to believe the Hollywood is a copy of a copy.... Some one did not actually have an original sample in their hands... Or Just copied a photograph. That's ok. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted September 5, 2016 Share #1412 Posted September 5, 2016 Breast pockets are large on the issue on the left Small on the paramount Tiger on the right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted September 5, 2016 Share #1413 Posted September 5, 2016 The original war time fabric really makes these shits pop. No doubt cut for the larger western build. This shirt being background has no stiffeners in the collars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintageproductions Posted September 6, 2016 Share #1419 Posted September 6, 2016 Owen that is a killer, guess we should shown mine out of Green Berets, with the collar stays in it....... Same uniforms were used for numerous productions. Films back then weren't like today were the productions keep most of the uniforms or sell them off. After the movie was done must stuff got returned to rental house and sent out on another production later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOG RT Mamba Posted February 25, 2017 Share #1421 Posted February 25, 2017 This is my first post since joining this week. I recently got this PRU patched late war tiger on a heavy weight fabric named to a Dickson. I gather he was an Advisor or a CIA operative with the Provincial Reconnaissance Unit. I'm thinking an Advisor as it's a really small sized shirt for an American. I know late war they were actively recruiting shorter gents as not to stand out when with ARVN troops. I was wondering what the TST stands for or if anyone knows anything about this Dickson fellow? I haven't been able to find any info on TST attached to PRU or with any reference to the Vietnam War. photo(1).JPG photo(2).JPG photo.JPG Matt,NICE PRU Tiger stripe shirt.

SOG RT Mamba Posted March 1, 2017 Share #1423 Posted March 1, 2017 Matt, about of Dickson PRU Tiger stripe shirt;a posibility is,the full name of veteran,Tommy Dickson,SEAL Team One,KILO Platoon (13 Jul.1970 - 9 jan.1971). Cheers, Joseba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted March 1, 2017 Share #1424 Posted March 1, 2017 That's not him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaxon Posted March 3, 2017 Share #1425 Posted March 3, 2017 That's not him. This answer also didn't meet my demands or expectations, lol. You should copy and paste the info about SEALS and PRU from the utility shirt thread here. Some possibilities/reasoning as to why it's not without giving away any trade secrets. Don't worry I got you. Here's what Spike said........ He would not been a PRU advisor, that is a separate billet and operate separate from a SEAL plt but they HAVE done ops with them. PRU advisors were usually 2nd class petty offices and above and had to go through Speciall Operations training before becoming an advisor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
