With a rich color scheme that clearly sets it apart from standard Vietnamese tiger stripes, this piece allows you to fully appreciate the unique charm of Thai-made tiger stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Thai-made \u0026ldquo;Shadow Tiger\u0026rdquo; from around the 1970s\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs to the same lineage as the previous piece. These Thai tiger-stripe patterns are known to have been used by the Thai military and border guard units, representing a fascinating category that symbolizes military uniform culture in Southeast Asia from the Vietnam War through to the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat\u0026rsquo;s most impressive, however, is the color of the camouflage itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt retains a very deep base color that\u0026rsquo;s nearly black, creating a striking contrast with the light green and brown stripes running across it. When viewed from the reverse side, you can see a different print pattern than on the front, making it a highly compelling piece for comparing and studying the Tiger Stripe fabric itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe details are also exceptionally elaborate. On the chest are a \u0026ldquo;SEAMAN\u0026rdquo; name tape, a tape with Thai characters, a \u0026ldquo;U.S. ARMY\u0026rdquo; tape, and above them, an airborne unit\u0026rsquo;s embroidered insignia. Rank insignia are attached to the collar, and full-color unit patches are affixed to the sleeves.With this many patches attached, color is added to the Shadow Tiger\u0026rsquo;s dark body, resulting in a very striking look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, \u003cstrong\u003ethese patches were added later and do not indicate that the jacket was actually worn in this configuration at the time\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rather than as an original, worn piece from the Vietnam War era\u0026mdash;complete with the patch set\u0026mdash;this item should be appreciated primarily for the Thai-made Shadow Tiger jacket itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother highlight is its robust construction\u0026mdash;typical of Southeast Asian combat jackets\u0026mdash;including the large flap pocket on the chest and utility pockets on the sleeves. The unique cutting and stitching, which differ from standard U.S. military-issued jackets, add to the appeal specific to this category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the previous piece, \u003cstrong\u003ethis is a very stylish jacket that allows you to fully appreciate the deep-colored Shadow Tiger design.\u003c\/strong\u003e Its jet-black coloring\u0026mdash;a stark contrast to the flashy tiger stripes of the Gold Tiger and others\u0026mdash;is its greatest appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt\u0026rsquo;s not only a great addition to any collection but also makes a significant impact when worn. We highly recommend this piece as the next addition to your collection, even if you already own several tiger-striped jackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that since this is a used item, returns are not accepted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize (measured flat)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e: Shoulder width: 51 cm; \u003cbr \/\u003eChest width: 61 cm; \u003cbr \/\u003eLength: 65 cm; \u003cbr \/\u003eSleeve length: 74 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MILITARIA 1911","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48699380105457,"sku":"TIGER-60-408","price":143.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/8241\/6881\/files\/IMG_1266_b3b100fd-993c-4d83-949b-e4bc73f7c94e.jpg?v=1788854106","url":"https:\/\/os.militaria-1911.com\/products\/1970s-thai-border-guard-shadow-tiger-locally-made-tiger-stripe-shirt-used-b","provider":"MILITARIA 1911 ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
