Description
This batch of McCoy's Tiger Camo is a 100% cotton printed fabric with a comfortable medium weight, painstakingly and perfectly reproduced from originals within the McCoy's archives. Just like the vintage cloth, this pattern will fade over time, changing color as certain hues are desaturated from wear, washing, and UV light, developing a beautiful and period-accurate patina in line with how they're worn.
Tiger camouflage was developed during the 1950s by the US Military for use in jungle combat, being adopted at various points of the Vietnam war across all branches of the US armed forces. Following the conclusion of the Vietnam war, the pattern was retired and the military moved on to newer camouflages — while Tiger camo continues to enjoy a long and storied sartorial history within civilian markets.
The "John Wayne" Tiger Camouflage is easily one of the most recognizable variations, named such for its association with John Wayne, who wore this particular style in the film "Green Berets." The non-Hollywood models with this particular camo are also called "Okinawan" Tiger by some vintage collections, as this is where the original fabric was thought to have been produced, then being sewn into garments headed for the Vietnamese theatre during the early and mid-1960s.
The Tiger Camo shirt is a simple fatigue top, cut with an accommodatingly boxy fit and complete with tonal urea buttons and two flap chest pockets. It's just relaxed enough to function as either outerwear or a base layer, and having been originally designed for jungle environments, wears well during hotter weather.
Fits true to size. Wash cold and hang dry.
