American Graffiti Posted March 21, 2013 Share #778 Posted March 21, 2013 Just came across this great early Vietnam photo. Taken in 1964 you can just make out his very early tiger stripe pattern shirt, also the US made early cowboy hat. Neat photo just wanted to share it. It's from the stars and stripes website.

American Graffiti Posted March 22, 2013 Share #780 Posted March 22, 2013 Hi O, I think there was another from the original Stars and stripes article but it wasn't as good, but check their website, there are lots of other archive Vietnam stories.

Mitch Posted March 22, 2013 Share #784 Posted March 22, 2013 Hi Bob , What a wondeitul group of tigers in the camo corner. Some great pieces !! I have attached a picture of a shirt I have. It is small , maybe medium weight. I was wondering what pattern it may be or is it just an obscure pattern. I believe it to be real.

Mitch Posted March 22, 2013 Share #786 Posted March 22, 2013 Hi, I thought I would post something a little different. It is a teenage size souvenir tiger flightsuit. It is a little over 4 feet high, so maybe for a kid around 5 feet. It is made with a material that is the same weight and feel of the 2 gold boonies I have. It has the smaller brass YKK zippers. It appears unworn. Thanks for looking. Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kammo-man Posted March 23, 2013 Share #789 Posted March 23, 2013 Mitch . Your tiger shirt is monster tiger and its real. So far the matching trousers has not been found ............but they will turn up some day . I used to own the RON flight suit many years ago ...and it good to see an old friend. owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacket has fours straight pockets. I think sleeve snaps are custom made but some cammo expert can tell if for sure. -Mikko Hi Mikko, nice set! Your shirt is late war dense pattern. Within this pattern (only heavyweight), the cuff of the sleeve (slit & buttons) is like your shirt, it's original issued (non costum made). What makes this set so special ? -> You have a nice 4 pockets modi shirt with matching pattern and fabric. -- Are the buttons of the lower pockets covered, too ? Regards Gimp P.s.: The pants are tadpole sparse/silver pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
