Gumshoe Posted April 7, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2017 A friend just gifted me this great tiger stripe jacket. He was the original owner/wearer of the jacket, and was a recon scout with 6/31. Just seeing the light of day after decades in a box in his basement. This is my first piece of tiger stripe anything. Interested to learn what style, type, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
