Copran Posted November 6, 2009 Hello, Your 1st set with tailor tag is a modern repro, "improved" in Thailand. The last set is very nice, could you post few more pics of the pants please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AK101 Posted November 6, 2009 Hello, Your 1st set with tailor tag is a modern repro, "improved" in Thailand. The last set is very nice, could you post few more pics of the pants please Thanks, when did they start making these "Thai" repros with these tags? The last two sets are very small, the "A-L" and the "A-M" closeups are from the middle set pictured. I have yet to scour the last set for markings. Any idea on what the last two sets would fall into tiger pattern wise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kken Posted November 6, 2009 the middle set are golds, or if you use johnson's classifications, late war dense advisors. the last set looks like what johnson calls john wayne sparse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any idea on what the last two sets would fall into tiger pattern wise? I don't know, but your set is probably a Tiger Product reprint, then dishonest seller added the Viet tailor tag, the ink stamp like yours never exists, only size was stamped The other 2 set are legit Tiger Stripe pattern: the middle one is late war pattern in Asian cut with mid wieght material, the last one is Zigzag (or thing pattern) seldom encountered, the cut must be close to Og107 fatigue cut, probably another tailor made set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AK101 Posted November 6, 2009 "Golds" and "Zig Zags" As far as the suspected repros go, have these tags and stamps been seen before? If so when did they hit the market? THANKS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Copran Posted November 11, 2009 Help wanted, what pattern Be careful, It might be modern repro of silver pattern, short brim bonnie hat is often copied Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dogtown Posted November 12, 2009 Looks like it is a silver pattern I concur.... Interesting - looks like there is some staining/discoloration near the bottom of the of crown. Do you have photos of the inside? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spike Posted November 12, 2009 It's just one of the current fakes from eBay, you can tell by the bullet band and the brim, they are all made the same way, possibly out of real material. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dogtown Posted November 13, 2009 Here is pic from insideAnd no...its not from "eBay" It's hard to tell from the photo... From my experience, the brim usually has a rolled edge. However, there very well could of been some made the way yours is. Again, it's difficult to tell from the photos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BEAST Posted November 13, 2009 Hi guys, What do you folks think of these trousers? Civilian copy or not? I picked them up at a local thrift shop with a mix of other camo clothes. They are made from lightweight, non-ripstop cotton and have a zipper fly. The zipper is marked "RAPID". The cargo pockets are secured with one button. I have had a few tiger stripe shirts, but they were made of a heavier material and I don't remember them having the standard issue US buttons. No tags or markings remain. These remind me of the ones that we would see in the surplus shops in the 1980s, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the help!
