kammo-man Posted December 30, 2008 Share #1278 Posted December 30, 2008 Hi All and Happy new year !!! I hope everyone is doing great . I remember Bobs set quite well . It was mint condition and he also had a type of copy ERDL set that came with it also ,both sets were in the same cut ,also the Tiger set had a small swatch of the ERDL sewn into the belt loop and the ERDL set had a swatch of Tiger in its belt loop sewn on a piece of cardboard . Most likley done by the tailor himself . The print on these and Bobs trousers shown above was the lowgrade handscreened tailor copy type and is not hardwaring at all . Though having said that it is super cool indeed . I got the most stupid book for Christmas this year from my mother in law called "The Vietnam War Collectables price guide " boy is this book a sad effort , this is the wrong place to talk about books I know , but anyway ,there is a set of this pattern tigers in the cammo section .So it is around but I have only ever seen a couple of pieces of it .

kammo-man Posted December 30, 2008 Share #1279 Posted December 30, 2008 Well going back to the title of this thread about where Tigers were made, I think it is safe to say that these fine night night slippers were made in China . That being said tell your girl to send me a pair , I am a size 10 . I got a crazy pair of woodland pajamas so I think you got the better present !!! owen kammoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageproductions Posted December 30, 2008 Share #1280 Posted December 30, 2008 Owen, I had forgot about the erdl tailor set that was with that tiger set. If you remember there was the small plastic box in the pocket that had the swatches of material, for both sets, stapled to the original tailor's specification and order form, from Bien Hoa, not some Asian Tailor shop.

vintageproductions Posted December 30, 2008 Share #1282 Posted December 30, 2008 Both the Tiger and the ERDL shirts were cut similar to a safari type jacket. I was trying to remember today who bought them and I think it was our French Camo collector friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
