kammo-man Posted November 19, 2009 Share #30 Posted November 19, 2009 Flage , I do have the pictures , but here is the thing . It took me years to find that report .. It would be nice if another member even cared what pattern E was . Time to do some work and not have everything given . It was great to see you at the show . Your set is something special , a true treat to the eyes . Let me know when you want to get rid of it . owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintageproductions Posted November 20, 2009 Share #37 Posted November 20, 2009 Tiger is not US . Okay, who or what has possessed Kammo-Man? Something is definately not right with him this evening if he is disagreeing with Tiger Stripes being the best camo. Plus, if it is not US why does this forum have the greatest Tiger Stripe reference thread known to mankind on it? Heck, it is better then all the published works on the subject, put together, that is available to collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABrangerjoe Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share #38 Posted November 20, 2009 Tigers are pretty BA even though they're not US- but I guess I should have said US and US-used camo patterns. I wish I had some tigers, you guys have the best ones I've ever seen! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiGilio Posted November 20, 2009 Share #39 Posted November 20, 2009 I would have to say tiger stripes or mitchell pattern are my favorite.

USMCRECON Posted December 22, 2009 Share #46 Posted December 22, 2009 I always liked the old Vietnam era tiger stripes. followed by the Nam era camo jungle utilities. The tigers were the first camo utilities issued to me in Nam. They were quite effective in the bush and you could actually be moving very slowly and they seemed to be concealed well. The jungle camo was also pretty good until it faded out. In the top pic, my friend Ron Kitzke (center) is wearing a set of tigers that he got from the local Vietnamese shop. Earp (right) and I (left) are both wearing versions of the camo jungle utilities. Mine are straight issue while Earp also bought his (with tuck-in shirt) from the local Vietnamese tailor/barber/souvenir/skivvie house/shop. In the bottom shot, I am wearing my other set of camo jungle utilities. This set is like the one that Earp is wearing in the top short with a shirt-style top. We liked the tuck-in shirt as it helped keep the bugs and leeches out. Most of the time we wore the issue trousers (when we could get them) with the Viet-procured shirt because the Viets frequently sewed them together with crappy thread and the seams would give way. I learned that the hard way first time I wore the Viet-made trousers in the field and the inner leg seam ended up splitting from knee to crotch and partway to the other knee.
