GeneralLucas Posted July 22, 2016 Share #1402 Posted July 22, 2016 I recently obtained this tiger strip jacket at two tiger stripe boonies indirectly from a garage sale. This is the standard Veit Nam pattern is it not. Thanks... Link to post Share on other sites

kammo-man Posted September 5, 2016 Share #1415 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 #1417 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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
kammo-man Posted September 5, 2016 Share #1418 Posted September 5, 2016 Again the US ARMY is on non standard tape. Look a like works ok.... The buttons are non standard but are 1950s surplus type attached with tan thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

kammo-man Posted September 5, 2016 Share #1421 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 post Share on other sites
kammo-man Posted September 5, 2016 Share #1422 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 post Share on other sites
kammo-man Posted September 5, 2016 Share #1423 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 post Share on other sites
