Going old school for squirrel this year..

[Tenntrapper]

These just arrived today. Boonie should be here tomorrow. Vintage "Vietnam era" tiger stripe camo. Figure it should be good for early season foliage. I went with the 100 percent cotton rip stop, as opposed to the poly/cotton blend.

Cool. The tag looks like genuine GI?

They are Rothco brand. They have the regular tiger stripe in poly/cotton, but their "vintage" line is 100 percent cotton. These are current manufacture, but supposedly same as their "contract" clothes from that era. The pants have a zipper, so not sure if that's 100 percent true. Thought they had a button fly.
Also, the blousing strings look different. I thought they were flat...these are round like 550 cord (not 550 cord though).

I hunted in some that looked like these. My dad got them in Vietnam. I was 9 or 10; I think mine was an adult (South Vietnamese) small.

This makes sense, as I've read that the original "tiger stripe" was made by Vietnamese locals...and thats where the soldiers were getting them.

Thank you for your service.

I used to wear the same thing squirrel hunting when I was a kid. I loved them after watching John Wayne in the Green Berets.

The squirrels will love that. They will see you coming a mile away, but you can shoot them when they come out to laugh.

Very cool.
