kammo-man Posted January 16, 2010 Share #104 Posted January 16, 2010 X I was round pauls house yesterday and was blown away with the shirt out of the frame on a guy . It is different from the NG shirts but then again these were made for Amercians to wear during a special event . A true piece of Special Forces history , that shows how high regard they were held in Yard status . Simply put fantastic . An example of one of these shirts surely belongs in the Smithonian Museum . owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACSSOG Posted April 18, 2017 Share #109 Posted April 18, 2017 Splendid pieces. The two shirts introduced at the beginning go this thread were made from loincloths. They couldn't make the proper ceremonial shirts large enough, so joined loincloths together. The tassels are typical for loincloths, whereas the 'proper' (from a tribal ceremonial perspective) shirts, hand-made by Ede tribespeople. Not to be confused with fashion wear like the Dashiki.

MACSSOG Posted April 18, 2017 Share #110 Posted April 18, 2017 Considering the fact that Pleiku is in the Central Highlands, where there was a large Montangard population, I don't see why these would have been made in Saigon. I have owned a few different Montangard "style" shirts that were made in Saigon and they are nothing like a real, woven one. The cloth is original fabric, woven by Yards. Definitely not knocked up in Saigon. These are hand spun and woven and can take weeks or months to make. But the piecing together and tailoring of pre-existing fabrics could have been done anywhere.
