Soar Posted April 8, 2021 Share #28 Posted April 8, 2021 That's May 1962 production. It's a very nice suit. Thanks @ Owen. Haven't seen the patrol caps in tan before - that's why we love USMF. Also be great to see a pyjama thread at some point. Just asking 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It a FRS that I didn’t find these Tigers at a show. Glad I could teach you something. 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soar Posted April 17, 2021 Share #37 Posted April 17, 2021 I now understand why the shirt and trousers of Doyler's excellent suit is in two slightly different prints. The 'normal' early 60s VNMC prints has the large black hook/wave in the design - as seen on the back of the shirt. The print of the trousers is different, it does not have the hook feature. (Thanks to @gimp for sharing some pictures of Japanese ground defence force issue tiger stripe from the early 1960s), this is the Japanese military issue print. I have had one set and one shirt in this print. Clearly production would be going on simultaneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaxon Posted May 23, 2021 Share #47 Posted May 23, 2021 Hi Ron, Killer set. Well done. I have a similar set but the stamp’s are reversed in that the trousers are but the shirt is not. I’ll post some pics. Can you tell me or post pics of how the CF (centre front) placket is constructed? By that I mean is it just folded under and the buttons and buttonsholes applied like most Tiger shirts or is it constructed with separate pieces at the top where the CF placket lays open at the collar? Mine is a 2 piece construction like that. Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
