Hi All .

 

ET not only had TS on the kid ...but when you have the mountain scene with the chase ...dead cows ..some of the Military are wearing TS .

 

Now ..

The un-badged TS Willard shirt .........I have seen a lobby card and it clearly shows this shirt being worn and one can see the threads where the patches have been ripped of .

Its the same as picture#1 here but sharper .

I have the card ..but have not seen it your years ..hidden somewhere .

 

I feel we are getting close though.

 

 

owen

And fwiw, the pic from "Tour of Duty" is a Tigerstripe Products jacket.

 

I seem to recall reading on a collector website that the tiger suits worn by the tunnel rat team in one episode were the real deal, supplied by a Hollywood prop house.

 

I'd love to see the Willard suit or one of the prop suits from "The Green Berets" -- I hope it works out for you!

there most probley was a few sets used at the time

probly orignal surplus as well not custom made they might of been tailored a bit

but i dont think they would of made them especially for the film .as tiger stripe in the late 70s would of been plentyful

unless its got his name written inside or a stamp you,ll probly not never know if it was used on the film or not

as there was a lot of tiger stripe worn on the film by other cast. its the same sort of problem i have in the uk trying to

sort out full metal jacket props

I know the Kilgore OG sold a few years back, as did Kurtz's OG. 15-20k a piece, I believe! Willard's OG are in Coppola's museum. One of the PBR crews shirts has been shown on this forum. I'd love to hear if Willard's tigers are about??

I got Harvey Kettles Tiger suit from the movie.

 

Got

 

MINE.

 

Interesting. Care to share photos, or are they posted here somewhere? Someone I know in the film industry (a sound recordist) claims to have a set of Willard's, though refuses to make them public. I think he stole them!

I am not posting them.

 

You can see HK wearing them if you do a search.

 

I know a guy who has MS shirt.

 

Excellent. Looking forward to seeing them!
