Chris. Where did you go? What are you collecting now? How are things?

Very nice put it on and wear it in honor of the person.

Cool my Great Uncle served with the 501st PIR James Francis Jacobson . After the war he Became a Priest a La Salette Missionary.

I'm still around. Just busy managing all the social accounts for my company (@artifactbags)

Chris. Where did you go? I have watched your videos so many times now, and crave more content. Still collecting, still out there?

I remember and loved the 80s baby blue ones, I wish I could find them but vans doesn't make them anymore FFS

Pop a curd to get on the boardwalk. SF/

Great video very informative thank you . I have an original alpha ma1 how can I tell when it was issued?

tám means eight. i believe that the ARVN versions all have the epaulettes AND the reinforced shoulder piece that has a curved quarter stitching from the tip of the epaulette down to the shoulder.

Have some vintage 80s and 90s era vans coming in soon all like new still..I prefer the older vans for good comfort.

Hi, is it for sale? This shirt doesn't have the epaulettes like other tiger stripes shirts I see that were used during the Vietnam war.

My dad was 5th Group, 3rd Mike. I used to wear his old tigers to play in the woods back in the 80s as a kid. They were super soft and made me invisible in the woods on Ft Bragg. I eventually tore them up, but we still have a nice set kicking around. They really are like pajamas.

I had a blue one with trackers and copers. Cross bones. Loved that damn thing. Pretty sure I slept with it.

Beautiful deck. Set up for a total kook.

Amazing pieces!! Wow

That is crazy rare!

Another awesome video! I love learning about the construction. I have modified a few new production jackets so they have a mix of vintage and modern features. Just jumped in and bought a sewing machine and went to town. Somehow I remembered my home ec lessons from the 1980’s

Thank you for the great review. I have collected military items for years. Your knowledge of construction techniques add so much. My father spent 18 months in Vietnam as a Marine Infantry Officer. None of his field uniforms made it back. They would literally begin to rot and fall apart due to the humidity and inability to launder. My dad said they would be resupplied by air and change into new uniforms. I have some pictures of his time and the marines are wearing a mash up of different patterns and mix of green and ERDL camo

I don't think he was insubordinate, it was just done in a bit of a hurry. most likely with combat taking out a lot of men, replacements were in abundance. Roles had to be filled quickly. So men were hastily promoted. I knew of men that went from PFC to Tech Sgt or even 1Sgt in 6 months or less. He would have worn this uniform not in combat but around base, camp or out n about. I doubt it was anything negative bouncing around ranks & responsibilities & roles, he was given letters of commendation & was awarded prestigious medals. Let us think highly & not discredit or deformate his character.

Reminds me of a shirt that Monroe would wear from too close for comfort show

i think im in love

Hi Saw a tan boonie on your insta, would you send me your email would love to talk to you about it Yours DC

Beautiful piece of history, love the ratnuts and the dome truck bolts, very original, thanks

This is pretty much as beautiful as tiger stripes can get imo. I hope I will one day find a repro as bright as this one. Thanks for sharing.

Won’t skate it or can’t skate it?😂

Where can I find one of those jackets?

Alway check ur pockets!!! Ty for sharing!!! ❤

What do think it’s worth? I’ve got a red Tommy Guerrero from 1985 I used to ride as a kid. I’ve got the deck only but I’ve never seen an original red one from the 80s for sale even on eBay ! Even in reproduction a few years ago they didn’t make that many. Thanks

I know Mark. He helped me learn the plight of my father who was 501PIR/101st Airborne. I met him at a couple of reunions, communicated through email and I too have a few of his books. He was so incredibly helpful to me and I am grateful for him. My brother got my dad's jump suit but he stored it in a locker, in Georgia where he was serving in the Navy, and it was lost to mold. I'm thrilled to see that you are carrying on their stories. Thank you for that.

I've been wearing vans since 1968. Its nice to see another fan. Got 15 pair right now. Never give up. 10.5W

Nice Van's bro nothing like the 80's so retro

@chris Are you still collecting? I would love to have an opportunity to talk with you. I am a collector in Mexico City and also a RUclipsr.

4 crommets is first type product for sure J

Another friend, a USMC Force Recon Vietnam vet gave me a WW2 USMC paratrooper jacket which is in mint condition. I won't discard this one!

Years ago, a friend who was USAF Vietnam Vet gave me a US Tiger Stripe Jacket. He worked with SF troops out of Ban Me Thuot. Unfortunately, I outgrew it and threw it away. I've regretted it ever since.

Hey Chris, I've watched a couple of your vids. Some I've watched more then once. I really like them.

L2B, not MA-1, check the smaller flaps on the side pockets .

Great stuff, love it ✊🏻👍🏻

It’s not a handkerchief in the pocket. It’s a cravat bandage that was very popular at the time.

I didn't know what they were but I had a pair of pants like that back in 84 I picked up at a surplus store for let's say under $10 I used them for work pants and they held up quite well before the day of the internet and information

Would you be interested in selling the patrol cap and a jacket if you have?

Thanks! And where is that bag from?

So awesome. Watching this on Veteran's Day 2022. 🇺🇸 Thanks to all Veterans! I am seeking vintage shirts or outerwear from Vietnam- 173 Airborne LRRP Ranger. That would be the best. I 🇺🇸💘

I wish they made UHMW Lappers and Copers today, that would be awesome.

Fantastic! A replica company would make tons producing modern versions of the traditional canvas.

That's worth a lot of money!

nice pattern

Chris, hope all is well. Missing these types of videos you produced.

Greetings. If I may ask, you always throw away your company name. I have no idea what it actually is, could you explain please?

This Shirt is know as the College Blue- Jordanhill college where PE teachers wore this as part of the kit. My first view was Bobby Clark , ex Aberdeen and Scotland goalkeeper wearing it to teach in 1970 at St.Peters RC school in Aberdeen.It was standard kit for PE teachers before that.I got mine in 1976 but my Colleague, Frank Strang, said his dad had one when he qualified, perhaps more than 20 years before that. Interesting that Patagonia picked up this idea in Scotland in 1970.Was it when training at Glenmore Lodge for climbing, skiing and outdoor education. It cost £8.90 pence from R.W.Forsyths in Renfield stree tGlasgow 1976
