Mike Force Posted November 10, 2008 #1084 Posted November 10, 2008 Owen, awesome shirt you got there!, its a one of a kind!, I wish I could find things like that on a flea maket in Germany!! Spike, thanks for sharing the scans from your book!, I never saw that before! About the MASH repros, is it true that the MASH company produce all the uniforms with the old historic machines in Okinawa? I heard or read that somewhere and I just can't believe that? Cheers Mike

kammo-man Posted November 10, 2008 #1086 Posted November 10, 2008 MF But you can find lots of other cammo that make people all over the world go weak at the knees if you are lucky enough . Thank for your thoughts on the shirt . I still am in a bit of shock to be honest . Bob will know the Mash answers ,but I can tell you I have a set and will have for a long time , the stuff rocks and blows the ts products out of the water . o
Mike Force Posted November 10, 2008 #1087 Posted November 10, 2008 Yes you right with the other camos but unfortunately no tigers!, Germany is a death valley for tigerstripe collectors! Lets see what Bob means about the MASH story!? Thats it for me toady. All the best Mike MF But you can find lots of other cammo that make people all over the world go weak at the knees if you are lucky enough . Thank for your thoughts on the shirt .

vintageproductions Posted November 11, 2008 #1088 Posted November 11, 2008 Well, Spike might be wrong on this one. I think the wings are Taiwan, ROC. A lot of 1st group guys trained the ROC Special Forces. These two countries wings are very similar in appearance.
Andrei Posted November 11, 2008 Author #1089 Posted November 11, 2008 Patrick, my VNMC Advisor set is a swap I did with Bob some years ago. Got it against a Levi's 501XX indigo, Big E, dead stock. Owen, your SF captain shirt is very cool ! Remind me the ARVN ERDL heavy weight NCO shirt that Bob had for sale on his website. As far as I remember it was an Ethan's pick up. Spike, I have this issue somewhere in my mess. I really dreamed over those pics for years. Tomorrow I will post the rest of my tigers. Shorts and berets.
Mr-X Posted November 11, 2008 #1090 Posted November 11, 2008 Spike You know what I think ? I wrote that down in my Belfast Accent!!! LMFAO
filupe Posted November 11, 2008 #1091 Posted November 11, 2008 Well, Spike might be wrong on this one. I think the wings are Taiwan, ROC. A lot of 1st group guys trained the ROC Special Forces. These two countries wings are very similar in appearance. Uhh ... I gotta say Spike *is* right. I have both Filipino and Taiwanese wings and they are indeed of the Phillippine pattern. The wings I think you are referring to are the Taiwanese SF wings which, if my memory seves me correct, had little a mountain scene in the central motif! Since I am work currently I do not have my usual references at hand but I willl check them tonight.
Mr-X Posted November 11, 2008 #1092 Posted November 11, 2008 Thanks for the awesome pic butcher. Look at the arm length on the troopers tigers. He He

The wings I think you are referring to are the Taiwanese SF wings which, if my memory seves me correct, had little a mountain scene in the central motif! Since I am work currently I do not have my usual references at hand but I willl check them tonight. Also, Philippine jump wings, have smaller motifs in each color section of the wings. Before, I posted my comment I double checked my collection of Philippine jump wings, and they all had the extra details in the tri-color section. Both countries wings are very similar in design. On double checking, aren't PI wings also evenly divided in the three parts of the center? While ROC wings the white upper section takes up half the section, while the bottom, blue and red sections are quartered?
vintageproductions Posted November 11, 2008 #1094 Posted November 11, 2008 About the MASH repros, is it true that the MASH company produce all the uniforms with the old historic machines in Okinawa? I heard or read that somewhere and I just can't believe that? Well lets call this Tiger stripe / Urban myth #1 When Hara-San of MASH contacted me in the late 90's to make the first set of golds, they borrowed two of my sets to copy them. He contacted various material printers around Tokyo & Osaka, untl he found one that he thought would work. The first run of "golds" was incredible when they were done but there was one major flaw. The would never fade, like real tiger stripes. Hara-San's comments were" There are no more cheap material printers in Japan, I guess the technology is too good now". So when the silver patterns were being planned he found a older Japanese material printer who still did everything in the older styles of the 1960's. It was all done by hand, not by computers, which Richard Johnson is always proclaiming how MASH did it. When these were done they were dead on. The print, the fade, the wear, etc.. After the second run of these were done, unfortunately the printer passed away, and his kids did not want to print old style anymore, they wanted to use new technology. This is where the MASH tiger stripe story ends. He and I have been looking for another old style printer but have come up empty handed. I would love to have them make more and I know he would like to also, but he is a perfectionists, and will not do anything hap-hazardly. This is why MASH's remakes are all so incredible.
Copran Posted November 11, 2008 #1095 Posted November 11, 2008 Hello, I see that other forum members were very active last night while all french collectors were drinking beer. Here are some TS I think never posted before. 1st one, a late war reversed pattern it s quite subtle to see the difference
