Tadpole Sparse Tiger Stripes. A Moore Militaria exclusive, and available solely through us, these are our custom reproduction Tadpole Tiger Stripes. These have incredible detail including color, fabric, dish buttons, green thread, YKK zipper and simple ink stamp for size in garment. Classic "advisor" cut which is correct for this pattern. Coat features two double button chest pockets with inward facing bellows, left sleeve cigarette pocket, and hanger tab in neck (C2B-EXP-3P1 style). There is photo evidence of Tadpole Sparse being used in Vietnam as early as 1964, so it will work very well for early and mid-war impressions as well as later.
I have washed a pair on cold and then machine dried on "regular" and there was no appreciable shrinkage. However, to be certain there is minimal shrinking, hand wash cold and hang dry. Available as a set or as separate pieces. See below for matching boonies and berets. Sleeve lengths and inseams are "regular" length.
