Thats what the label looks like to me, Ive had one or two of their tiger pieces before.

Don't think this is a flight suit, but certainly not your normal average garment cut, zip and pocket configutation etc

Love it 'the Atlanta hoard' so this one has a zip front and poppers instead of buttons?

Nice, what I wouldn't give to find a hoard like that

Thanks for showing O

Super dead chalk marks and all, love where they moved the top flap lower.

That print and cloth is great, same as the Okinawa Maids piece I used to have, the skull had a stethoscope because the owner was a doctor.

Beautiful beyond words !

That unit must have done a big order as I have seen other blazers with same label same unit but different color silk pattern lining !

thought you folks might like my new SOG related Tiger purchase. A nice modified "over the fence" jacket, as I am sure you all know thesis a rare beast... this was custom tailored by SIG veteran Robert A. Bradow along with his 1-0 vest. I have his badge team jacket and beret on the way so will pos that too... its not Tiger though!

Paul, The shirt Not is a post war. it is a Tiger Stripe Modified Cross Border shirt used by Robert A. Bradow in Vietnam war era.

Hello everyone,

 

Been reading this topic for some time now without ever really partaking.

A couple of days ago I took my first baby steps and purchased off eBay these lightweight late war silver pattern, or so I think.

 

(I couldn’t wait to have it in my hands and take the photos myself to show you so I used eBay seller’s pictures, as it is mine now anyways, I hope it’s no issue otherwise I’ll take them down)

Just call them 

late war light weights and you can’t go wrong.

 

Once you get your first tigers the fun begins !

My first pair of tigers were the exact same as your new ones and I have had hundreds over the years good luck.
