This tiger stripe shirt was used in the 1968 movie "Green Beret". It is a movie costume and bears the stamp and serial number of Western Costume, a Hollywood film company. This is not the shirt actually worn by John Wayne. It is part of the costume used in the movie. This shirt was sold to a costume company after the filming of the movie and was used in Steven Spielberg's film "Encounter of the Unknown". It was worn by the special forces that appeared in several scenes in the movie.

The tape, etc. are also as they were at that time. This item has "WESTERN COSTUME" and "PARAMOUNT" tags on it, indicating that it was kept by two costume companies.

According to a certain book, there is a pattern called John Wayne pattern (we call it Okinawa Tiger) because it is the same as the tiger stripe pattern that John Wayne wore in the movie "Green Beret", but if you look at the actual fabric used in the movie, it is from a different lot and the pattern is almost the same. The pattern is almost the same, but the color and thickness of the fabric are all different. Therefore, this shirt is a John Wayne pattern shirt in the true sense of the word.

The movie was shot in 1966-67, so this is a guess, but considering the cooperation of the U.S. Army, it is highly likely that the movie company ordered the fabric from a Japanese factory that actually manufactures tiger stripes, printed it using the same stamp as during the war, and then procured it for the movie. The fabric has a distinctive color. Other than the movie "Green Beret," the same tiger stripe is worn by the special forces soldiers in "Encounter of the Unknown" directed by Spielberg. It is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
