the same prop uniforms were used in both films?

 

As Bob said

The uniforms were rented to productions and returned then re hired.

Principal actors of had their own cut and sew.

But these also get mixed in........

Just like the special APOC now set I have.

 

I was in a Prop house ISS last week for instance and seen uniforms that were used in some scenes in FURy.

I was surprised to see the old friends but goes to show items travel and get re used.

owen

Was just gifted this jacket by a long-time friend, who was its original owner/wearer. He was a recon scout for 6/31. My first tiger stripe. Not really my area of expertise, so any of you that can tell me type, style, etc. would be interesting to learn. Thanks!

I met this veteran and bought two sets of light weights from him 1979 or 1980

 

.Several years ago traded off one set.He is shown wearing one of the sets and also holding an RPK in the other photo.

 

The trousers were repaired(both sets) with ERDL camo fabric.

Looking for some help ID'ing the pattern. Bottoms look to be silvers with gold to let out the waist/legs. Shirt... I've got no idea but looks to have the sale silver as bottoms to let out the mid section under each arm. These came from the vet who said he bought them in Pleiku in '68-69. Any input is welcomed. Thanks
