Vintage Vietnam War Tiger Stripe Fatigue Shirt

A tiger strip fatigue shirt that is like my uniform I wore in Vietnam.

Nice shirt that fits perfectly. Only issue is some loose thread around the pocket flaps and down the front seam but overall a good shirt

good replica of a tiger stripe rip-stop Vietnam fatigue shirt. comfortable to sleep in. camo pants in the night with this. wish the green would come back in the daytime. still looking for camo scarf or knit hat...

The actual item is 80% as pictured and advertised. I can see the maker (Rothco?) logo printed lightly on one shoulder seam. The size I received is more than expected. It will shrink to the right size with washing. I can't see where anyone could expect the quality to be "original", but it is definitely close. As another customer wrote: the garment will not be new to the original wearer (VietNam era), so no wear and tears can be attributed to manufacture. It is made of rip-stop material, but unlike the other person who received the wrong size, my color scheme is correct and true to specs. I can only hope it wears as well as I hope it will. No changes or substitutions were necessary to get the expected product. My color scheme, actual logo, & size were true to specs.

Fits perfect very happy. I would definitely recommend it to any one. 5 stars for quality.

Great copy of the issue type shirt issued to military personnel

great reproduction

My husband is wearing this right now and it looks great. A tiger striped Jungle fatigue from a reputable supplier! Will be buying more. He wore this in South East Asia during the 60s & 70s and it's like having him back. Very nostalgic! Thanks Rothco.

Wore my Tiger Stripe while I flew Hueys and discovered quickly that, while effective at keeping us cooler in VN, they weren't great for flying. Went up one for chest wear and was out. So... that was 45 years ago and these have made a comeback. These are just like my TA-4J version, but more casual. They fit a bit larger than expected, so plan on adding your slacks or whatever. This isn't meant to be the only garment you wear... It is a jacket with sleeves, just like the TA-4J, and has that weight, also like the TA-4J. That said, this will last a very long time.

THIS BABY ROCKS, My mate is in the British army reserve ,He said it Was Spot on!!

I am over weight and like comfort when working around my yard. I wear my vintage 67 tiger stripe when working outside, it fits and comfortable and reminds me of my boyhood during the sixties. My uncle just got out the Army, Vietnam, for Christmas he gave me a small bag that I remember, it contained things he could barter with to buy what he needed in Viet Nam. I took one of the things out of the bag it was a tiger stripe and started looking for more things that reminded me of my youth, which started the looking for this Tiger Stripe. My buddies had one that I liked, just not in good condition anymore, so this one will take its place and be a comfort to wear when working around my house, where my back has to take a work load.

the tiger stripe was lighter than I expected. I will see how it holds up, as it will be used on the beach. good fit, and arrived in time for a camping trip. I would buy again, if needed.

Better quality then I thought! Really comfortable too

Really nice tiger strip. Material not true ripstop

Great Tiger-Stripe nostalgia camo pattern and very comfortable. Fits just a bit small. I am happy. (I got a large but I think the medium would have been perfect). For reference, I am 5'10", ~170lbs and 38" waist. (And my Grandfather wore the USMC G2 (cold weather jungle pants).

These were worn during the winter by troops in Viet Nam and other jungle locations. I had one in the Marines. They held up very well in the field and I was impressed by them at the time and still am. I was in the field and I noticed it getting very cold. It's not as warm as a parka but I've learned that it can get much colder in a field jacket because the nylon of the fatigues reflects heat back to the body in a much more rapid manner than the poly cotton rip stop of the fatigues so the two combined makes the soldier much colder much faster. It does keep you warm if you use it as an over shirt. As I said, it was an issued garment to troops during the winter and was made for that purpose. If you want to find out what it's like to feel the feel and weigh the cloth then order one.

Good Vintage Vietnam Era Tiger Stripe Rip Stop Shirt - Really enjoying wearing it and have had a lot of positive comments about it. This was my 3rd one - my previous ones had all deteriorated over the years.

The shirt has it all; very light and breathable ( a major factor on South East Asia where you need something you can breathe in and cool off), decent fabric that allows for some type of movement (e.g., climbing), ruggedness for most field situations. The vintage (OG) one I had from '69 had yellow as well, which is a good color and does distinguish between the two front pocket buttons on each side (good when wearing on vest or garrison belt and wondering which pocket button it goes into). Of note; the sleeve button is a slightly smaller hole diameter as the others and has a more 'plastic' look, and the cuff button tab slides over an insert and holds the velcro closed with some friction to keep the buttons securely closed without falling off. As always; a really great piece of wearable military gear for the most reasonable price you can find, anywhere! This was a must for me; when my father went back in '65, they had already changed the uniform to these (G-I issue shirt and trousers, boots) so I had always wanted to find one in original (not knock off) Vietnam era camouflage. I am very pleased with the product. I do believe it is a current Rothco issue shirt; a copy but a nice one at that. Great shirt for work or just a hike in the woods; looks great in jeans and a western style belt or boots and web belt. Exactly as shown, good quality with the original tiger stripe/foldiage camo pattern, comfortable, great color match, with plenty of length (6'2" 210) but will shrink some when laundered, great for a build like mine. If you love this Vietnam G-I camo pattern and are a Tiger then this is for you; for a much lower price that some competitors sell this same product for. A winner! Highly recommended! Enjoy...

I had a great Vietnam tour. I am an old Green Beret and I've got lots of gear from days past, this is the finest re-make I've seen. Quality gear! And what fun we all had at NCO parties when I got it out! In Vietnam, you got three types of T-shirts, Woodland, Camo Woodland, and a different, but equally bad "Woobie." We all used the FQC type Woodland until 87Bs, GS uniform became common. I now run TD's, for civilians; ACU Digital camo for winter woods; Multicam (The greatest!) DPM (That lasted for years and great!) Tigerstripe (An enduring standard) Woodland: Even though they had to change the pattern slightly, but still my all time favorite. We could do better today! The big thing was Tiger stripe, it just worked, we looked cool, combat effective, we wore these everywhere. Even wore them out after duty at Disneyland...sans Woodland of course. And when it rained we always carried a change of shirt and if it wasn't water proof; forget it, it just didn't happen, got wet, dried, next day! Thank you China. Thank you for the new generation of fine shirts and gear. Thank you all! You know who you are.

It's a tad big on my dad (5'10", 170lb), and fit nicely. However, they run long. If you want them to be ankle-length, go down a size. If you want them to hit right at the ankle, order the size you want.

Got a large the first time around and found it to be more like an extra large in width and about a full size longer. I just bought another one, a medium this time, and it fits just right, but you might want to buy one or two sizes smaller than what you usually wear. The first one I bought had what appeared to be stitches along the shoulders coming loose, so I gave it to my grandson. I bought another, a medium, and have it so it's long enough for me to tuck in my shirt when needed.

Authentic tiger stripe, perfect olive green. True USN N WO Blues tropical, same color as olive drab as I was issued when I got out in 1972. All buttons look like the real thing. Quality, durable and heavy duty like it was back in 1969 in Nha Trang, Hanoi Jane will not wear this shirt it's so sturdy. My new uniform will be this Vietnam Tiger Stripe Jungle Jacket

Fitting was just as ordered. Quality fabric and excellent design. Well made and of high quality construction

Thank goodness this shirt is made in Vietnam or the ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam). The ARVN uniforms are made in Communist North Vietnam (they have 2 versions of Vietnam today) or else it would not fit. This Tiger Stripe Camo Fatigue Shirt by ROTHCO INC (N/A, Vietnam), RIP-STOP CAMO VINTAGE VIETNAM FATIGUE SHIRTS-SMALL is exactly like my uniform from 1969 and I was able to serve my tour of duty as a Lifeguard on a CBO (Cargo Boat Operation) on the Gulf of Tonkin onboard a Vietnam Era RYMANT, ULTRA LIGHT NAVY PUNCH F/V MANNED RAFT with LCVP stowage (Amtrak Crescent), DER WERF and DURABOAT (Death Raft with Large Wheel in Bow and Rudder Tackle)with two Duck Bars which is actually identical in makeup to the shirt except that I wore CAMO Dungarees with Chest Pockets and Assembled Vise Web Belt with Tiger Stripe Slider buckle. I was also wearing Vise Web Army type shoes. The jungle boots were for CROSS COUNTRY HIKING. If I wore my paratrooper boots in Vietnam in my duties as a RNCPV and then I went swimming or waded into a river and got covered with mud or wet rice, the boots were stained for life. You had to leave your black, Togo type dress leather boots on a board on the shore to keep them clean. The last time that happened was at Cu Chi Rice Paddy Church. The ground was wet from showers, had rain drops on it, and I was covered with dry, powdery, chalky substance which when I took my boots off at night at Basecamp Phouc Vinh it dried up and I was stained with a layer of tan mud or "gook

Fits very well. I had a fatigue while serving with the U.S. Marines in Vietnam and my fatigue was the same material, shade of green and shade of brown. The only differences were the tag and pocket flaps. Thank you very much for the nice quality of this fatigue shirt. It is nice to have a shirt that you can wear anytime you want to, no restrictions. I will buy another one for sure. And thank you also for the nice quality and the prompt delivery of my order. I will recommend your business to my friends and colleagues. With many thanks, Chun Pong Moy, MA

i like the colors that i got in 2 sizes that i ordered . it will fit to me when i get home from work or i have my shoes on

As a Vietnam veteran I have been buying these shirts from various sources over the years and they have all come from overseas, even when there are U.S. companies selling them the shirts come from Hong Kong or someplace in Asia and you never know what the quality will be. This time I decided to try Amazon and I am happy with this shirt and it is made in the USA! The only problem I have is that the colors are a little off from the old shirts I have. The yellow seems to be brighter than the originals. I think the dark green is darker and the tiger stripe pattern is more orange than it should be.

camouflage tiger stripe fabric. all red. very thick and well made. very large size that goes below the beltline and covers most of the lower legs. fits as expected, washes well in warm water, air dries in a couple of hours in a clothes dryer. fabric will shrink somewhat in the dryer. recommend a larger size than usual, you can always return it. tiger stripe patterns have many meanings in Vietnam and Laos and probably also in Australia where aboriginals painted themselves in stripes for hunting and concealment from enemies. not so many books about Vietnam that discuss that aspect of the culture so we know that tiger stripe is associated with warriors, scouts, leaders, etc. many military personnel wore tiger stripe fatigues in VN, including the advisors. the wear of that fabric and in particular tiger stripe camo fatigues, is still very significant in that culture today. the military and military-style uniforms of Southeast Asia are just an enormous world of history, and VN especially. wearing these uniforms are in a way being connected to the history of VN, including the contemporary VN. not just tourists wearing a vintage vietnam tiger stripe shirt, but also if you have been there or read a lot about it, you know that VN is not simply just where you visit, it is where your soul can connect with the collective soul of the country. so even if you have no plans to visit VN or Laos, it doesn't mean you don't belong there. VN has always had a strong tie to those who seek to live the warrior's path. so even though it might seem an unlikely place to go on a journey, there is much for the seeker there, if you have the courage to find it. "no-doh"... doh. (german meaning of 'no-doh'... you are an idiot)

My shirt fit well, it was comfortable and the Vietnam flag was a very nice bonus. I was very happy with the Tiger Stripe BDU top and I will probably buy more in the future. The vietnam flag sewn into the sleeve and all is really cool too. I am pleased and am wearing the tiger stripe shirt as I type this. Great Job ! Larry , Jackson, Michigan

My second pair in 40+ years
