kammo-man Posted May 20, 2009 Share #1576 Posted May 20, 2009 That is a great childhood story . War stuff was meant to be played with . Who cares if it got abused . The important thing is the shirt did its job and brought your friends daddy home . Camouflage was meant to save lives . I lost a 1st pattern Farborne Sikes commando knife in the woods when I was a kid . It was given to me by a locial X paratrooper who jumped into Arnhem in 1944 . When I told him I lost it he didnt care and gave me a Dennison smock and a water bottle cover and told me to run along and have fun with the items !! I wore that thing ragged , and it was down to my knees . Guilt ....... None I looked cool and had a water bottle cover to carry my sweets and sandwitch around all summer long . owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butcher Posted May 21, 2009 Share #1583 Posted May 21, 2009 ...my tailor did a little of tailoring, now i got a very short brim boonie, tight tiger pants and a bit shorter tiger shirt, looks damn great, just as you said Owen, i have the real tiger stuff and this one looks just alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted May 21, 2009 Share #1584 Posted May 21, 2009 Sasha . You are wearing green flip flops today !! I am wearing red ones . Flip flops look just right with a tiger suit . Trey made the shirt high in the arm pits just like the original ones but made the body length longer , this was so the customer could do as pleased for a custom fit . You did a great job on this . Now where is the double decal helmet ??? Wear them both and you will look like a 1960s Laguna Beach surf Nazi !!! owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
