Tiger stripe camouflage was initially developed by the Republic of Vietnam Marine Corps, and adopted by early US advisors in-country. As it became more highly desired, the Counterinsurgency Support Office (CISO) on Okinawa began to manufacture tiger stripe fatigues in American sizes. Today we are looking at the very first proof sample suit of that tiger stripe camo, a really outstanding piece of Vietnam War history!
