Hey Brent, can you make a video on cleaning your rifle in the field. I have seen people using bore snakes, but I'm not sure if you could do that at One Shepherd.
Camo effectiveness aside, the production values of these videos goes above and beyond what you'd expect from a small RUclips channel. Well done guys, superb job.
My father is a “Nam” veteran. He spent 2 tours on PBRs based out of De Nang 68-early 70. He has a Tiger striped stripe set he said he acquired from a SEAL. He said he traded a carton of cigarettes for it.
1965 tiger stripe wide was issued to Special Forces at Pleiku Vietnam. When they acquired an M-113 personnel carrier I was drafted from the motor pool into their unit to drive it. When I went on patrol with them they issued me 1 set of camos, shirt/trousers/soft hat. callsign at Pleiku was Dragon 1, 2 and 3
I knew a man in Midland, Texas that was one of the first Navy Seals. He wanted to be an UDT like they had during WWII, and enlisted in the program. Later they were asked to form a new group to do recon and the rest is history. He said his group was the first to wear the Tiger Stripe uniform. He told me some scary stories but lived to tell me. I have seen military people here in Thailand wearing a brown tiger strip uniform. I would like to have one in a desert tiger stripe.
My highest respect to our Vietnam Veterans, past and present ! Our family had two in country. One volunteered and one was drafted - both came home. Both were good men !! Special shout out to Bruce for doing the research. It's an endless history lesson.
Always thought the “sparse” tiger stripe pattern was quite effective compared to the “dense” or more modern TS copies. On a side note, the Philippine SEALs and Special Forces still use tiger stripe pattern pretty much unchanged from the Vietnam War. Pretty bad ass.
Tiger stripe is an outstanding camo pattern. Where there's green and light and shadow, tiger stripe will do well. I wasn't able to pick any of your guys out at the end of the video before they moved, it's that good. Keep doing what you do, sir. Thank you for your service.
I was in the United States Marine Corps between 1973 to 1979. My first issue of uniforms stated with the green utility uniforms ( and a whole lot of starch), for a short period of time the slant pocket tiger stripe uniform ( rip stop ) was authorized for use before going to the Woodland pattered BDU uniforms by the time my enlistment was over.
Tiger stripe or ERDL? Not the same thing. ERDL was the immediate forerunner to the four-color woodland pattern that BDUs used. In fact, it's essentially the same pattern but the BDU version was enlarged, which reduced the blobbing effect at longer range as a trade off from the close quarters effectiveness.
Dude the Marine Corps never issued tiger stripe utility' sure recon units in vietnam used them but stateside never I went to boot camp in 78 was issued the left over erdl slant pockets dominate green jungle utilities then in the fleet we got the straight pocket erdls ripstop then in 82 or 83 the woodlands came in I was at Horno never saw any jarheads wearing tigerstripes
Man your videos are really good, I really learn a lot with them. One of the best military channels on YT. You even give an in-depth description and history of the camouflage pattern and Bruce even says about a book on the subject. Hope you give the same treatment to other patterns in the future like the woodland or brazilian lizard camo. Cheers.
Thanks. I/we don't normally go into so much detail about a given pattern. We're doing this because its associated with Vietnam and has a long history of use there. If you check my Nam playlist we've done a lot of Vietnam oriented videos.
Thats really awesome ! I love that movie. It's a hidden jem. I found it years ago on VHS at a rental store. I rented it so much, im surprised i didn't wear it out . Lol
Great stuff! Love your cammoflage videos! Propper actually makes two different tiger stripe patterns. They do a good job to. Can't wait to see more cammoflage effectiveness videos!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks, yup they have the regular TS and Asian TS, I actually featured them on the very first camouflage effectiveness video I ever filmed here on RUclips. They're in BDU cut though and aren't correct for Vietnam era reenacting.
Badass camo pattern! In the jungle or forest, lights and shadows, brown ground... you become invisible. Always read that this camo was for close range, but i think that it works fine in middle range. Thanks for sharing!
Still great in forests and it just looks cool. It's a psychological thing, but if your opponent wears tiger stripe, be careful. Very likey, he's a ear collecting badass.
@@jaysonwastell2602 In June 1967, I was told that for every 3 ears brought back , I could get 3 days R&R in country, by base camp (Radcliff) Sgt. , when first arriving . 1st Cavalry
Great video as usual. Thanks for enlightening us about this camouflage pattern, I always believed it was a USGI issued set of combat fatigues for special units. It does work really well in your enviroment. Stay safe guys.
The Tiger stripes are my favorite pattern. My Milsurp guy used to carry these on regular basis. But as a side note. I really like what Bruce did in the past with dying the ACU pattern apple green. I thought that this made that pattern highly functional
Ha, ain't that the truth! Sweating our balls off. The skit we did for the rocket launcher video it was like a 100 degrees and humid. The sweat stains you see in that video are real! ha Thanks for watching.
For a grunt who carried everything we needed in our pockets, the slant pockets on our BDUs chest , were the best thing they come up with. Makes it a hell of lot easier to get your hand in and out of !
I wish this pattern was effective in my area. I’ve always loved the tiger stripe pattern. It’s one of a kind, and the history of it makes it even more one of a kind. Great video Brent. 🍻
So glad you finally did a more in depth on the Tiger stripe. Been collecting and studying this pattern since I was a little kid!! You rock Brent Semper Fi devil
The relief after of being so close and letting vc pass by . Someone actually stepped on my hand back in the day but it was at night I thought my heart pounding was going to give me away .
I had a set that was given to me by one of my mothers coworkers back in the late 1970s. He was some sort of Air Force Advisor over in 'Nam. I was still in elementary school then. I have no Idea what happened to it. Most likely I wore it out. I also picked up a TS Beret at a gun show back in the mid 1990s and still have it. The pattern worked great in the the night here, Daytime in the grass lands and cross timbers here was a completely different story. BrushStroke and SS-Leto work much better. But there is no such thing as a universally effective camouflage. Thanks for all the time, effort and energy you put into these videos !
Brent0331 4-6 men sneak into a village with a battalion of VC. Sneak into the generals hut, put a bullet in his head and roll out without waking the generals wife next to him. That’s some ninja stuff.
My uncle, who served 3 tours in Vietnam, HATED that movie.... He didn't think much of John Wayne, who he viewed as a coward parading as a tough guy, because he pretended to be a soldier, but never served. He thought Green Berets would have been better with Jerry Lewis than John Wayne...
I've been reading and looking into this pattern for many years. I' ve seen it even in vertical. I did read where there was batches of uniforms produced in Okinawa for the US, and some ARVN units. I used to go to Gun shows with my Bn CSM. He was a very well know LRRp from th VN War. and he showed me a version, just like your light green pattern, and it used soe sized inside. US-M as in US Size Medium. Anyway, good video, I love camos, and I have a good collection of world camos, and loads of books.
My dad has all the variance uniforms he was an SF instructor for the LRRP The first one came out he sent a letter to command asking is there any more different variants sent him his way and want to test them out so he was actually part of the testing team. And he has the least two different variants in original packaging in his garage all size large
I spent 4 months in the triangle and the only ones that used tiger stripes were the rangers and lrrps that I worked with,I was regular infantry and wore od green
I've noticed that a lot of the tiger stripe camo that I found today has a lot more Brown in it then what I've seen in historical photos where there's almost no Brown if any
Tigertripe is kind of my favorite pattern. The first clothing piece in camo I got as a child was a t-shirt in tigertripe and it made quite an impression on me. While it is not that effective where I am living, central Europe, it oozes tradition and style. Woodland proofed for me to be more efficient and today's MARPAT is a hell of camo, but this old tigertripe is just awesome. And this is true for all variations of it.
My friend was a Green Beret in Vietnam, and he said that he wore black pajamas a large portion of the time and sandals made from tire tread and inner tube (ho chi minh sandals).
I got friends that say that the tigerstripe just looks ugly. Without considering the effectiveness of it. They tend to look at the most expensive yet good looking camouflage. Dunno wats up for em.
I got some airforce digital stripes and dyed them chocolate brown. They do well in heavily wooded areas. I got the idea from one of your earlier videos dying the UCP apple green.
Movie Operation Dumbo Drop also features Vietnam Tigerstripes worn by Ray Liotta and Danny Glover. From my close look, I guess they were from Tigerstripes Products with heavy twill cotton not the one produced later by Atlanco or TRU-SPEC.
Excellent video production as usual.Next time I visit Vietnam, I'm taking a set of Tiger Stripe Camo fatigues to try out. Unfortunately, out in the jungle you have to be careful where you step, because there are still A LOT of unexploded mines from the war. At least that's what my guide told me
Funny, John at Indochina Militaria told me some years ago that when he went over there on a buying trip several years before, they have a bar in downtown Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City, but no one calls it that) named "Apocalypse Now", he said that after about midnight when the "White Mice" quit making rounds they start palying a lot of 60s-early 70s rock music, Doors, Stones, etc, etc...he said the cute Viet girls in there were dancing to the stuff lovin it, lookin hot, he went in wearing Tiger Fatigues and they thought he was cool as hell. True story. I would've loved to have been there to have seen that!
The camouflage used by current US Air Force is a digitized version of tiger stripe camo. If you know the pattern, will recognize it right away. USMC, DaNang 1963-64.
Yes!! Finally!!!!! My favorite!!! The absolute nastiest camo for deep woods/jungle/swamps, and nighttime ever!!!!!!!! If it's rain or shine in the summer in the south east or at night, you will disappear!!!!!
South Korean special operations back in Vietnam war also using Tigerstripe probably to make a distinction between regular soldier and special operation personel somehow they easily had access to Tigerstripe due to share same size with South Vietnamese
My first introduction(s) to tiger stripe were John Wayne's 'The Green Berets' and, oddly, Steven Spielberg's 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind', at the end of that movie the Rangers/Green Berets searching for Roy and the others beneath Devil's Tower, Wyoming were rocking tiger stripe.
Most uniforms in Vietnam were olive drab jungle shirts or fatigues. Mine had slant pockets on the untucked shirt in 1973. 4 pockets with drain holes. The leeches got inside of the shirt without the LBE fastened. It was ripstop cotton blend I think. I have issue jungle boots with steel reinforced soles, and we wore steel pot helmets with a liner and web suspension.
Agreed, no question about that. We're highlighting in this video specifically the tiger stripe camouflage/uniforms worn by some throughout the war. Thanks for commenting.
just your presence in Tselinoyarsk is a violation of international law, you are to leave no traces of your presence and to avoid detection at all costs
@@kentuckybeararms I've been obsessed with this partucular game for fifteen years... day and night... I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop talking about this stupid game. FIFTEEN YEARS. So just wanna say thanx man. Thanks for the needed reality check.
there were some uniforms made during the war at Rock Island Arsenal for issue to MACV-SOG troops. later in the war 1 piece jump suits were available to ARVN pilots with the stripes running vertical.
I've seen pictures of some tier 1 guys and CIA GRS operators using both a jungle and desert versions in both Afghanistan and Iraq. It's interesting that this pattern is still used by some to this day. I personally love the pattern and use it from time to time when doing paintball, my only gripe is that it's hard as hell to find M.O.L.L.E. pouches in this pattern. I have also seen Eagle industry have A.L.I.C.E. gear in the pattern in the 90's from what I remember.
Fyi, tiger stripe used by the Malaysian army began in late 1960s. Before that, the Malaysian army used uniform similar to what British (far east and south east Asian) force had. That type of camo is still used today but for the territorial army and royal state guard special force in Johor (south of Malaysian peninsula). The Malaysian army is now using the digital camo.

The intro is spot on
Hey Brent, can you make a video on cleaning your rifle in the field. I have seen people using bore snakes, but I'm not sure if you could do that at One Shepherd.
it's cool that there's a new movie
Is the common photo of the seal knelling with the stoner and bandana is that the sliver one you talk that’s just faded ???
@@jodywatkins9467 Why not, lots of guys use bore snakes. Just don't break down your bolt carrier in the field.
Camo effectiveness aside, the production values of these videos goes above and beyond what you'd expect from a small RUclips channel. Well done guys, superb job.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
My father is a “Nam” veteran. He spent 2 tours on PBRs based out of De Nang 68-early 70. He has a Tiger striped stripe set he said he acquired from a SEAL. He said he traded a carton of cigarettes for it.
Nice, thanks for sharing.
Cool story haha
Yeah I bet the stuff was badass back then.
That’s a great story
Holy cow😊😊😅😅😅😊
1965 tiger stripe wide was issued to Special Forces at Pleiku Vietnam. When they acquired an M-113 personnel carrier I was drafted from the motor pool into their unit to drive it. When I went on patrol with them they issued me 1 set of camos, shirt/trousers/soft hat. callsign at Pleiku was Dragon 1, 2 and 3
I knew a man in Midland, Texas that was one of the first Navy Seals. He wanted to be an UDT like they had during WWII, and enlisted in the program. Later they were asked to form a new group to do recon and the rest is history. He said his group was the first to wear the Tiger Stripe uniform. He told me some scary stories but lived to tell me. I have seen military people here in Thailand wearing a brown tiger strip uniform. I would like to have one in a desert tiger stripe.
Very cool! I learned about tiger stripe from Metal Gear 3. All kinds of patterns to play with but that one was pretty versatile.
My highest respect to our Vietnam Veterans, past and present !
Our family had two in country. One volunteered and one was drafted - both came home. Both were good men !!
Special shout out to Bruce for doing the research. It's an endless history lesson.
Agreed! Thanks for sharing.
I am Vietnamese and I know that war is a bad thing, people are not bad. War has made them bad
Thank you
Always thought the “sparse” tiger stripe pattern was quite effective compared to the “dense” or more modern TS copies.
On a side note, the Philippine SEALs and Special Forces still use tiger stripe pattern pretty much unchanged from the Vietnam War. Pretty bad ass.
@Hoodie Melo 00 Philippines Army regular forces are now issued with CADPAT style camouflage although DPM are still used by paramilitaries
@JM well, what camo do you prefer, expert guy?
@JMjnb
Tiger stripe is an outstanding camo pattern. Where there's green and light and shadow, tiger stripe will do well. I wasn't able to pick any of your guys out at the end of the video before they moved, it's that good.
Keep doing what you do, sir. Thank you for your service.
Tiger Stripe camo is pretty good, as long as its broken in and faded well. The new stuff sticks out a bit more but overall good stuff :)
Regardless, much like the flag; Tiger Stripes never fade!
@@jimpaull731 Right on!!
I was in the United States Marine Corps between 1973 to 1979. My first issue of uniforms stated with the green utility uniforms ( and a whole lot of starch), for a short period of time the slant pocket tiger stripe uniform ( rip stop ) was authorized for use before going to the Woodland pattered BDU uniforms by the time my enlistment was over.
Did you feel like you missed out? I woulda been punching the air
Tiger stripe or ERDL? Not the same thing. ERDL was the immediate forerunner to the four-color woodland pattern that BDUs used. In fact, it's essentially the same pattern but the BDU version was enlarged, which reduced the blobbing effect at longer range as a trade off from the close quarters effectiveness.
Dude the Marine Corps never issued tiger stripe utility' sure recon units in vietnam used them but stateside never I went to boot camp in 78 was issued the left over erdl slant pockets dominate green jungle utilities then in the fleet we got the straight pocket erdls ripstop then in 82 or 83 the woodlands came in I was at Horno never saw any jarheads wearing tigerstripes
@@garymedrano6772 I should know since I was issued a couple of set of the tiger stripes!
Man your videos are really good, I really learn a lot with them. One of the best military channels on YT. You even give an in-depth description and history of the camouflage pattern and Bruce even says about a book on the subject. Hope you give the same treatment to other patterns in the future like the woodland or brazilian lizard camo. Cheers.
Thanks. I/we don't normally go into so much detail about a given pattern. We're doing this because its associated with Vietnam and has a long history of use there. If you check my Nam playlist we've done a lot of Vietnam oriented videos.
My favorite Tropical Jungle camo and Second favorite Jungle(in general) camo. Still taking the job well done in 2020
Lots of history here, thank you for Sharing. I use this pattern to catch lots of fish .
I just really liked that you were using an 177 and a 20 round mag.
Yup, both are Bruce's, super jealous. One day I'm sure I'll have one.
@@Brent0331 pasamedon
Outstanding, educational, and I gained a new appreciation for these patterns.
I was an extra in 84 Charlie Mopic, filmed at the same CA location as Tour of Duty. Need to get some SM Wholesale Golden Tiger.
@@myunpopularyoutubechannel Sorry, nothing exciting. Took some pictures in uniform around the firebase, that's about it.
Nice!
Thats really awesome ! I love that movie. It's a hidden jem. I found it years ago on VHS at a rental store. I rented it so much, im surprised i didn't wear it out . Lol
Great stuff! Love your cammoflage videos! Propper actually makes two different tiger stripe patterns. They do a good job to. Can't wait to see more cammoflage effectiveness videos!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks, yup they have the regular TS and Asian TS, I actually featured them on the very first camouflage effectiveness video I ever filmed here on RUclips. They're in BDU cut though and aren't correct for Vietnam era reenacting.
One of my all time favorite topics!!!! As a camo collector I thoroughly enjoy your content! Well done fellas. THANK YOU
Thanks
আমরা ধরলে কি হবে ভাবি আগে
Badass camo pattern! In the jungle or forest, lights and shadows, brown ground... you become invisible. Always read that this camo was for close range, but i think that it works fine in middle range. Thanks for sharing!
Still great in forests and it just looks cool.
It's a psychological thing, but if your opponent wears tiger stripe, be careful. Very likey, he's a ear collecting badass.
Yup,but does his bad ass use tp or baby wipes
I'm just saying. Most now are pampered; regardless of the experience
@@jimpaull731 he uses his hand, like a real man
Only Tiger Force collected ears 👂, Most LRRP teams never did that shit.
@@jaysonwastell2602 In June 1967, I was told that for every 3 ears brought back , I could get 3 days R&R in country, by base camp (Radcliff) Sgt. , when first arriving . 1st Cavalry
Great video as usual. Thanks for enlightening us about this camouflage pattern, I always believed it was a USGI issued set of combat fatigues for special units.
It does work really well in your enviroment.
Stay safe guys.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video! I've always loved the Vietnam-era Tiger Stripe patterns, lots of good information here
Thanks
!
Used the last pattern as an OPFOR uniform, perfect for south western Sweden where i live. Worked way better than our standard M/90 pattern.
Nice, thanks for sharing.
I’ve had my eye oh the Golden tigers set from SM. This video pushed me over the edge. Thanks Brent!
I want a set from them too, no matter the cost
The Tiger stripes are my favorite pattern. My Milsurp guy used to carry these on regular basis. But as a side note. I really like what Bruce did in the past with dying the ACU pattern apple green. I thought that this made that pattern highly functional
And with the summer we've had in Texas this year I'm it sure it felt like Vietnam in 1970 but with that being said you always do amazing skits
Ha, ain't that the truth! Sweating our balls off. The skit we did for the rocket launcher video it was like a 100 degrees and humid. The sweat stains you see in that video are real! ha Thanks for watching.
For a grunt who carried everything we needed in our pockets, the slant pockets on our BDUs chest , were the best thing they come up with. Makes it a hell of lot easier to get your hand in and out of !
Porno
Man, I was holding my breath on that one. Great video and awesome camo!
Thanks
Thank you for the comparisons of the BDU, Tiger Stripes. I found it useful.
Thanks for watching
I use Kryptic now. I believe it is the best, I'd like to see you do a video on it. I'll be looking for it.
I wish this pattern was effective in my area. I’ve always loved the tiger stripe pattern. It’s one of a kind, and the history of it makes it even more one of a kind. Great video Brent. 🍻
So glad you finally did a more in depth on the Tiger stripe. Been collecting and studying this pattern since I was a little kid!! You rock Brent Semper Fi devil
Glad you enjoyed.
The relief after of being so close and letting vc pass by . Someone actually stepped on my hand back in the day but it was at night I thought my heart pounding was going to give me away .
Awesome video!! You looked just like GIJoe figure Lt Falcon with that camouflage pattern and radio set!
I read that SEALS in Nam used to have the tiger stripe cloth sewn on to Levi's for a tough set of trousers.
Where did u read that?
@@graze1177 Don't remember. Some SEAL book I read 20 yrs ago. I thought it was a great idea.
@@eriksixx1226 interesting.... I would love to read that book
It may have been Rogue Warrior
আমদের টাউম চালু হলো
I had a set that was given to me by one of my mothers coworkers back in the late 1970s. He was some sort of Air Force Advisor over in 'Nam. I was still in elementary school then. I have no Idea what happened to it. Most likely I wore it out. I also picked up a TS Beret at a gun show back in the mid 1990s and still have it. The pattern worked great in the the night here, Daytime in the grass lands and cross timbers here was a completely different story. BrushStroke and SS-Leto work much better. But there is no such thing as a universally effective camouflage. Thanks for all the time, effort and energy you put into these videos !
Xskadslrasti
Reminds me of the book “men with green faces”. Them SEALs were some tuff bastards
Sure were.
Brent0331 4-6 men sneak into a village with a battalion of VC. Sneak into the generals hut, put a bullet in his head and roll out without waking the generals wife next to him. That’s some ninja stuff.
@@goinhot9133 total Hollywood BS. The only way the wife wouldn't wake up is if they shot her too.
DavidMN it’s not Hollywood when it was a iconic book by real seals. Men with green faces.
@@goinhot9133 then they are telling the story in a misleading manner. Unless the generals wife was deaf even a silenced 9mm would wake someone up.
Still my favorite all time pattern! Thanks John Wayne and The Green Beret! Still wear a couple of patterns for deer hunting.
Movie "the Green Berets" it was worn by John wayne and his boys... tiger stripes.. Bulldog and Savoy 3...
it's cool that there's a new movie
My uncle, who served 3 tours in Vietnam, HATED that movie.... He didn't think much of John Wayne, who he viewed as a coward parading as a tough guy, because he pretended to be a soldier, but never served. He thought Green Berets would have been better with Jerry Lewis than John Wayne...
The Duke could wear neon green and it'd be cool, I'd wear it!
কি করি তোরাই বল
I've been reading and looking into this pattern for many years. I' ve seen it even in vertical. I did read where there was batches of uniforms produced in Okinawa for the US, and some ARVN units. I used to go to Gun shows with my Bn CSM. He was a very well know LRRp from th VN War. and he showed me a version, just like your light green pattern, and it used soe sized inside. US-M as in US Size Medium. Anyway, good video, I love camos, and I have a good collection of world camos, and loads of books.
Thanks for watching and sharing brother.

Thanks
The granddaughter and I enjoyed this upload Battle. Thanks again. Always, your efforts to give us good content is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
@Fugitive 1 Oh brother...
My first set of camo was the post war stuff with the narrow stripes when I was 14. It was very effective in close bush and amoung cedar.
My dad has all the variance uniforms he was an SF instructor for the LRRP The first one came out he sent a letter to command asking is there any more different variants sent him his way and want to test them out so he was actually part of the testing team. And he has the least two different variants in original packaging in his garage all size large
size Large would fit perfectly to me… !!
maybe I’m too cheeky in asking you but.. could you sell one of them?
Wow, 3 different versions of Tiger stripe, i had no idea that they came in different colours
Yeah cuz there's different seasons in Vietnam they have the monsoon season and dry season the leaves turn diff shades
Hell man, there are a lot more then 3, we just showed the three most common and ones we had.
@@Brent0331 big fan of the page Brent, keep it up!!!!
আমি মাটি মজবুত করবো
Hands down favorite camo!!
In 1967, outside about in camp or large firebase you could find a shop that could sew you up and thing from tiger stripes to dress suit .
Brent looking all Mike Force. Nice dude. Advisor, gold and tadpole are my faves.
Agreed, I'm a fan of all of these we showed. Great pattern.
I spent 4 months in the triangle and the only ones that used tiger stripes were the rangers and lrrps that I worked with,I was regular infantry and wore od green
Nice, thanks for sharing.
Spectacular!!!! Congratulations for the video quality! The content is outstanding.
Thanks
Your production is movie quality best military stuff channel out there love from italy
Thanks brother. I do my best, in the end people gotta remember that its just us, a Sony handicam, and a $30 tripod from Best Buy. ha
"TIGER", "TIGER", "TIGER UPPERCUT!"
I've noticed that a lot of the tiger stripe camo that I found today has a lot more Brown in it then what I've seen in historical photos where there's almost no Brown if any
Like the ones from ROTHCO, significantly darker shades and too much black and brown compared to what you see in pics of the patterns in Vietnam.

I'll take that as a no
Thank you so much for this video! Tiger stripe is one of my favorite camos, since i was a kid! (Especially the golden one!)
Tigertripe is kind of my favorite pattern. The first clothing piece in camo I got as a child was a t-shirt in tigertripe and it made quite an impression on me. While it is not that effective where I am living, central Europe, it oozes tradition and style. Woodland proofed for me to be more efficient and today's MARPAT is a hell of camo, but this old tigertripe is just awesome.
And this is true for all variations of it.

Tiger Stripe Camouflage is the best camouflage in jungle and tropic places EVER
I'd wear tiger stripes on the moon, and you'd be known as the Coolest kid on the moon.
My friend was a Green Beret in Vietnam, and he said that he wore black pajamas a large portion of the time and sandals made from tire tread and inner tube (ho chi minh sandals).
Nice
I got friends that say that the tigerstripe just looks ugly. Without considering the effectiveness of it. They tend to look at the most expensive yet good looking camouflage. Dunno wats up for em.
A beautiful looking video so far! :) Just had to get in here to claim "one of the first" posts :D
it's cool that there's a new movie
Ha
Tiger Stripe Products is shipping again. They make the best in my opinion.
On another Point. My father brought me a Small Blouse in Tiger Stripe from the War with him. I wore it out.
Shame, that would have been a good collection item.
I got some airforce digital stripes and dyed them chocolate brown. They do well in heavily wooded areas. I got the idea from one of your earlier videos dying the UCP apple green.
how did you dye them
Neat.
Thats cool! I will look into your find.
Milk man= what brand of dye and what ratio per top and bottom set of bdu's?
Movie Operation Dumbo Drop also features Vietnam Tigerstripes worn by Ray Liotta and Danny Glover. From my close look, I guess they were from Tigerstripes Products with heavy twill cotton not the one produced later by Atlanco or TRU-SPEC.
Had a poster of John Wayne, in Tiger Stripe, on the wall in my basic training barracks at Sand Hill, Ft Benning, 1983
I have a sticker on my tool box given to me by a Marine “ GOD BLESS JOHN WAYNE”
Awesome dramatic intro! US Tigerstripe and Rhodesian brushstroke are the coolest ever!
Thanks brother.
Excellent video production as usual.Next time I visit Vietnam, I'm taking a set of Tiger Stripe Camo fatigues to try out. Unfortunately, out in the jungle you have to be careful where you step, because there are still A LOT of unexploded mines from the war. At least that's what my guide told me
Funny, John at Indochina Militaria told me some years ago that when he went over there on a buying trip several years before, they have a bar in downtown Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City, but no one calls it that) named "Apocalypse Now", he said that after about midnight when the "White Mice" quit making rounds they start palying a lot of 60s-early 70s rock music, Doors, Stones, etc, etc...he said the cute Viet girls in there were dancing to the stuff lovin it, lookin hot, he went in wearing Tiger Fatigues and they thought he was cool as hell. True story. I would've loved to have been there to have seen that!
@@docback63 Interesting!
What a great video ! A shame variants of this pattern are not as widely available in Europe as in the US

I was just watching a older video of you using tiger strip camo and you brought it back
Yup, this one has been in the works for a bit, we finally were able to get it done.
They were not regulation for standard troops like us, who wore just green, but OK for the LRRPs who all wore them, attached to us.
yep asian M is around XS/S Short/Regular
The camouflage used by current US Air Force is a digitized version of tiger stripe camo. If you know the pattern, will recognize it right away. USMC, DaNang 1963-64.
Yes!! Finally!!!!! My favorite!!! The absolute nastiest camo for deep woods/jungle/swamps, and nighttime ever!!!!!!!! If it's rain or shine in the summer in the south east or at night, you will disappear!!!!!
One of my favorites as well.
For the triple canopy jungle it was very much ahead of its time.
South Korean special operations back in Vietnam war also using Tigerstripe probably to make a distinction between regular soldier and special operation personel somehow they easily had access to Tigerstripe due to share same size with South Vietnamese
Great video!!!
All the Respect from germany.
My first introduction(s) to tiger stripe were John Wayne's 'The Green Berets' and, oddly, Steven Spielberg's 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind', at the end of that movie the Rangers/Green Berets searching for Roy and the others beneath Devil's Tower, Wyoming were rocking tiger stripe.
Dude I really dig those scenes thank you!
Great video on this historic and useful pattern.
Really like the gold tiger. Looks effective and cool.
Most uniforms in Vietnam were olive drab jungle shirts or fatigues. Mine had slant pockets on the untucked shirt in 1973. 4 pockets with drain holes. The leeches got inside of the shirt without the LBE fastened. It was ripstop cotton blend I think. I have issue jungle boots with steel reinforced soles, and we wore steel pot helmets with a liner and web suspension.
Agreed, no question about that. We're highlighting in this video specifically the tiger stripe camouflage/uniforms worn by some throughout the war. Thanks for commenting.

I personally love the “tadpole” variant of tiger stripe the most, I use it in airsoft and for my Naked Snake cosplay.
I wear " Tiger stripe" for hunting , works great. My father wore it in ' Nam 68-69 running LRPP's why I use it, he liked it a lot.
Nice, thanks for sharing.
I've seen pictures of some tier 1 guys and CIA GRS operators using both a jungle and desert versions in both Afghanistan and Iraq. It's interesting that this pattern is still used by some to this day.
I personally love the pattern and use it from time to time when doing paintball, my only gripe is that it's hard as hell to find M.O.L.L.E. pouches in this pattern. I have also seen Eagle industry have A.L.I.C.E. gear in the pattern in the 90's from what I remember.
Fyi, tiger stripe used by the Malaysian army began in late 1960s. Before that, the Malaysian army used uniform similar to what British (far east and south east Asian) force had. That type of camo is still used today but for the territorial army and royal state guard special force in Johor (south of Malaysian peninsula). The Malaysian army is now using the digital camo.
