Brady556 Posted July 27, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 27, 2020 Was it common for Americans in Vietnam to wear an Asian size uniform as long as it fit them? Or did the Vietnamese exclusively wear Asian sizes and Americans exclusively wore U.S. sizes? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Brannan Posted July 27, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 27, 2020 I was in Vietnam in 1969-70 and was given Asian Medium Tiger Stripes by the PRU Advisor. They fit me so I wore them. Tiger Stripes we’re hard to find in the Delta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMI88 Posted July 28, 2020 Share #3 Posted July 28, 2020 I think it depended on how they were sourced. Troops issued tiger suits through official supply channels would receive US sizes. Troops that traded for them with Vietnamese troops, purchased them at markets, etc. would have access to Asian sizes (if they fit). I imagine most tiger suits worn by US troops in Vietnam were obtained unofficially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
