vintageproductions Posted October 29, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 29, 2018 This is a piece I chased for 20+ years. A friend bought this back in the early 1980's at Rose Bowl flea market in a pile of misc. hunting clothing. Every time I saw him I would hit him up and ask if he was ready to sell it, and finally one day he said yes. www.vintageproductions.com "A militaria show is a social event for anti-socials" - A.T. 2008ASMIC Executive President Link to post Share on other sites
Tonomachi Posted October 29, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) Congratulations as persistence pays off. Is this a French Indochina War era left over uniform worn during the US time period in Vietnam? Edited October 29, 2018 by Tonomachi Link to post Share on other sites

nguoi tien su Posted November 7, 2018 Share #10 Posted November 7, 2018 Different patterns and cuts were used. The one shown by Bob is the classic "TAP" French Airborne cut (looks like a TAP 47/52?). This photo shows the French "TAP" example on the left, the Vietnamese Pink/Purple/Bulletproof/Blood Cake/Huyet pattern in the center, and the French TTA (straight legs) pattern on the right.

nguoi tien su Posted January 4 Share #16 Posted January 4 Why that Owen? TTA 47/52 allégée is a cut that appears in 1947, and is modified in 1952. No pocket on the hips, shoulder pads, slits at the tips of the sleeves. That's what I see above? Then, that 47/52 cut received at least 3 or 4 different camo designs (with some either used in Vietnam, Laos or Cambodia). They were similar to the TAP 47/52, 43/53, 47/54 and finally 47/56.
