Great thread guys! I'm learning a lot about these wonderful shirts.

 

I don't know if the information has already been discussed, is it possible to know, approximately, how many tiger stripes were produced during the Vietnam war?

I came across the this one. The size seems a bit of in order for it to be a genuine Asian size S. 49 centimeters pit-to-pit seems to me more like a US - M

Can anyone confirm if this is indeed a genuine Asian size S uniform?

Windbreaker Cut Tiger Stripe Jacket in a HBT material, British made zipper and parachute lining. Has one stamp in the pocket. Not sure of the age or origin.

Your windbreaker is made from Taiwanese Marines Corps Tiger, probably in the late 70s

I just scored a kick-rump set of Tru-Spec Vietnam Tiger Stripe BDU’s including boonie hat off of EBay. The best part is that they’re standard pattern, standard cut but instead of the twill that used to make them out of back when they were made, these are actually Nycro/Cotton ripstop! I couldn’t believe it, an anomaly, never ever heard about them before. They came brand new in the plastic. They don’t appear to be old. 
 

I wonder when they were made, why, and who they were made for?
 

Heres the pattern.

A nice of Tigers just came my way with Okinawa made name tapes and a USMC…

The trousers also are stamped with the name.

Can anyone ID this Marine ?

Recently found a 35mm slide that has someone wearing a Tiger Stripe uniform front and center somewhere in Panama. Came from a large grouping of an 8th SFG Lt. serving in Panama. Thought it would be worth a post here.

I'm thinking about buying this boonie hat but wanted to get a second opinion first. If I'm correct it's a late war tiger stripe pattern, the embroidery appears to be made in country.

This appears to be the same pattern as the one I picked up recently. Any idea on pattern name? I am thinking Splotch pattern?

Hello

A incredible thread , gorgerous of variants and stripes types

 

 

For our times, now : 

Is  it pretty hard to find a TS shirt with officer insignia ? 

 

It seem that the pattern is getting harder to find in a good and authentic shape 

 

Thanks in advance

Louis.
