vintageproductions Posted January 7, 2013 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2013 Sam's Militaryia hasn't made tiger stripes in years. They sell the NCHS VNMC remakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAPIS PALACE Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted January 7, 2013 MY INTENT WAS TO POST THE NAMES OF CURRENT RETAILERS WHO OFFER REPROS OF VN TIGER STRIPE IN VARIOUS RECOGNIZABLE PATTERNS THAT ARE AFFORDABLE. I WILL LEAVE THE GENUINE SHIRTS AND PANTS TO THE HIGH-ROLLERS ON EBAY WHO CAN SHELL OUT SIX- HUNDRED FOR A SET OF GOLD TIGER PANTS. LET'SFACE IT, MOST US MAKERS MAKE A MESS OF THE PRINT PATTERNS. MOST JAPAN PRODUCERS COPY THE NV MARINES SPARSE/DENSE PATTERN.GOOD STUFF FROM SMMANUFACURER OF JOHN WAYNE'S DENSE. ( Johnson said he never payed more than fourty-bucks for a REPRO .)- tiger patterns. NO ONE WANTS TO BE DUPED INTO PAYING FOR SOMETHING THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF.THE BOOK IS A GOOD PRIMER ON WHAT IT IS RATHER THAN WHAT IT ISN'T . If I cannot afford the actual item from the nam, I will humbly buy the cheaper copy knock- off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
