Bob Hudson Posted March 25, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 25, 2016 The cryptic numbers written in shirt collar and trousers waist area look intriguing, but there is a rubber stamped warning about the need to take care of silkscreened cotton. I feeling like these had the potential to be something real, until I came across the silk screen warning. My camera has problems but I grabbed a few semi-in-focus photos and a few not so clear. The trousers have a pocket at the left knee and waist tabs in the back. The shirt has cuff buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted March 26, 2016 Share #6 Posted March 26, 2016 I think these are the tigers that a company out in the Valley, Sherwood International or something like that, sold in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted March 26, 2016 Share #7 Posted March 26, 2016 I want to say that based on the brown color and fuzziness of the pattern that these were made from a cloth from the Philippines at the time, but I could be wrong on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted March 26, 2016 I want to say that based on the brown color and fuzziness of the pattern that these were made from a cloth from the Philippines at the time, but I could be wrong on that. They almost feel like flannel, which explains some of the fuzziness. Normally i would not pick up something like this, but the writing in the pants and shirt intrigued me. This "date" on the pants does not look like it was written by someone trained to write in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo2zero Posted March 27, 2016 Share #9 Posted March 27, 2016 I recently saw a vintage guns & ammo ( or something along those line ) advertising Asian tiger stripes " as worn in Vietnam " I wonder if these are those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a one piece flight suit that was not quite as heavy as this, but noticeably heavier than the shirts you normally find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabenkater Posted November 2, 2016 Share #17 Posted November 2, 2016 I had a pair of these trousers when I was in the Boy Scouts. I had another Scoutmaster ask if my father brought them back from Nam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaxon Posted November 29, 2016 Share #18 Posted November 29, 2016 I have the shirt and its stamped in black ink Made in Thailand as well as a thin white looped woven label just above it in the centre back collar which I imagine was applied for export purposes.
