vintageproductions Posted September 26, 2008 Share #652 Posted September 26, 2008 I am not sure if I love Owen's stories, but I will make sure I watch him next time he is here at my shop and asks to use the computer to check the forum, I will keep a better eye on him and check his pockets.

bravo_2_zero Posted September 26, 2008 Share #656 Posted September 26, 2008 This is a repro JWD. Look at the print near the buttons, you can see the print join which is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copran Posted September 28, 2008 Share #660 Posted September 28, 2008 Hello, Here are my 3 sets of ARVN Tiger, as you can see they haven't faded in the same way (or printed with the same ink), all of them have the asian cut with hidden buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copran Posted September 28, 2008 Share #663 Posted September 28, 2008 This one has a sleeve pocket, I don't know if it was added later or from the beginning. It belonged to a Vietnamese guy according to the name I can see on the collar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kammo-man Posted September 28, 2008 Share #666 Posted September 28, 2008 Who would confuse this with a gold pattern ??? They are completely different both in print and fabric!!! o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copran Posted September 28, 2008 Share #667 Posted September 28, 2008 Owen, One reputed dealer confused once, and some time when you don't see a full pattern or with poor picture, it may bring some confusion. (I made hte mistake also when I started collecting TS). But probably it doesn't happen very often now with Johnson book. Who would confuse this with a gold pattern ???They are completely different both in print and fabric!!! o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattD Posted September 28, 2008 Share #668 Posted September 28, 2008 I never seen any Tiger strip flight suits up close. I took a chance and bought this at a show the other day In mint unissued condition, it has YKK zippers I need some opinions Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copran Posted September 28, 2008 Share #670 Posted September 28, 2008 Matt, what a nice flight suite you have here, this one is identical to mine already shown above, the contractor tag is not often seen since they tended to loose while wearing the suite. Thanks for sharing Here is another set of photos If you need better pics, to help-let me know Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattD Posted September 28, 2008 Share #671 Posted September 28, 2008 Hmmm So I was right about the flightsuit. I wasn't sure if it was real or repro. So I took a chance and I figured I could always make my money back even on a repro flight suit. So I thought I would play it safe and offered him $30 for it-save $5 I couldn't believe none of the dealers at the show took a good look at it, I was walking around for about 45 mins and it had been sitting on the guys table. Anyone need a VN era Tiger Camo flight suit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
