kammo-man Posted July 17, 2008 Share #201 Posted July 17, 2008 Hi Guys I just jumped on . The shirt in question is a light weight Tiger shirt and from the photos looks as good as gold to me . It has a real nice bleed through from the dark ink which is a good sign . My first piece of tiger was this pattern in 1984 and when I got it could not believe that any military uniform was made in this paperweight fabric!! the buttons are also thin ,so to a new collector who has only seen a couple of pieces or only handeled silver or modern cammo uniforms it must be weird . B20 your suit is a heavy weight and is a completly different . all the best o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copran Posted July 17, 2008 Share #202 Posted July 17, 2008 Hello, Thanks for your comments guy, I'm very happy to know that I can still to make the difference between good and repro tiger. Very nice items from Satcong, late war pattern, even if they are not the most desirable like gold pattern, are widely used in all theatres operations in SE Asia and make a very good display Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kammo-man Posted July 18, 2008 Share #207 Posted July 18, 2008 Hey Guys I will get into posting my War room next week so untill then here is a wee sample shot, I have about 22 fully dressed dudes all covering the story of 20th century camouflage that I think is cool to me. There are alot of gaps but I have 7 tiger guys. I change guys around sometimes depending on my mood. The problem usually being original uniforms run small and the guys run big!!! Spike the first one is for you!! All the best o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bravo_2_zero Posted July 18, 2008 Share #209 Posted July 18, 2008 B20 your suit is a heavy weight and is a completely different .all the best o I don't think it is, it's lighter in physical weight than a t-shirt , honestly it's incredibly fly away material.

Patrick. Posted July 22, 2008 Share #211 Posted July 22, 2008 Hello all, here is the first set of tigers i ever bought. Nothing terribly exciting, rare or unusual in the garments, in fact the shirt and trousers are arguably the most common pattern. Both are an Asian large incidentally and there is room to spare on a mannequin. I like them though. Since your nickname is Kammo-man and not TS-man, I wonder what the rest is going to be !!! A little mis-direction and modesty in the choice of name...Owen owns and has owned some amazing items. Patrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copran Posted July 22, 2008 Share #212 Posted July 22, 2008 Hi, My friend told me that his English buyer changed his mind and keep the shirt, all his suspicsions were cleared thanks for the opinions of you all.

Copran Posted July 23, 2008 Share #215 Posted July 23, 2008 My M58 set, already shown but this time it put it in the manekin, I think this one was made in Japan and first used by some Marines Advisors. About the pants, they look rather like OG-107 with cargo pockets thann M58 USMC pants. But all the buttons match between shirt and pants, so I suppose they are made in the same time.

Mr-X Posted July 25, 2008 Share #224 Posted July 25, 2008 My Tiger stripe shirt. OK I know, I am a late comer to Tigers. Late War Light War Dense. U.S M it measures out to 23in armpit to armpit. It is hardly faded or used, though there is a fade on the back where a pack or web gear was worn. It came from Jason Hardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Adams Posted July 25, 2008 Share #225 Posted July 25, 2008 And almost all tailors shops in Vietnam and other Countries of SEA had material rolls of these patterns to make uniforms, tours jackets, bush jackets, bonnie hats... They also made copy of these patterns. If you have Tiger Stripes uniforms, please share, I'm very interested to see this. I will post some of mine in the few next days, Cheers Well, I don't have any now, but I had some during the war. The only ones I saw where obtained from local tailor shops - never through any form of procurement, AFAIK. I purchased mine from a shop in Saigon. Wish I had not given them to the kids to play with!
