Is this set yours ???

I have met Nhadu .

He is the guy who makes up the fake tiger boonie hats.

He used to collect german stuff .

Very handy with a sewing machine .

o

He must own a water-cooled sewing machine regarding all the garments he offered on eBay these past few years...

Here are the tiger head gear I have, only missed is the Tadpole bonnie hat that I exchanged with the Friend,

 

1st serie is bonnie hats: 2 made in JWD patterns (they are different, I think one made by CISO (black lined), the other is probabaly tailor made). The 3rd is VNMC made from several parts, loke the one shown by Owen.

Owen,

 

You can always ask Nhay Du for his shirt, he put once on Ebay but retrieved at the last minute, (even auction was about 1000 usd), I remember being beaten by him when this shirt showed up (for something about 1250usd)

 

Here is the back side of the bonnie

Got the beret from the excellent Jill from Hawai thru eBay. Two different owners :

 

- ANDERSON

- BM3 MIYAZONO

- and removed round patch (longtime ago, probably by the 2nd owner)

For the guy that has everything is .......A ....... Tigerstripe hanger.........

These were SOG issue and had to be signed for at headquarters

1 hanger was issued per man

This hanger was considered Top secret

.The hanger could also be worn as a pocket hanger ,but due to the sensitive nature of the hanger it was best to use as hanger for tigerstripe shirt .

This hanger will not work with pants .

That is a seperate hanger.

This hanger shall not be used outdoors as fading will occure .

NOTE

This hanger has been used outdoors and fading has occured.

This is not allowed.

Please use this hanger carefully as you can put your eye out with said hanger .

For more info on hanger use info on back of hanger .
