A very successful reproduction of the famous Tiger Stripe Boonie Hat, synonymous with US Special Forces and LRRPs during the Vietnam War. Made from 100% cotton, avoiding the shiny look of cheap synthetic copies. This hat will fade naturally over time for a "battle-hardened" look. An excellent, cost-effective alternative to rare originals for field use. Size Medium (fits 57-58 cm head circumference).

The classic flat "cut-edge" border, along with the unsealed reverse showing period-correct white bobbin threads, confirms it as a 100% authentic, US-made piece from the late 60s. Mint, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition.

Rather than a local Asian copy, this is a high-quality, US-manufactured patch. These were produced specifically for American personnel (US Advisors, MACV-SOG, Airborne units) who earned the qualification while serving in Vietnam and wore the badge on their US uniforms. It is in excellent, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition with a period-correct cut-edge.
