IHSH-186 - Tiger Stripe CPO Shirt
-
I'm guessing cotton? I know the 187 is rip stop which is nylon. Makes me wonder how well the fabric breathes.

I can't decide if this is too loud for me or not, but I love the vertical streakiness of the fabric.
Would probably be a good outwear shacket for Texas weather.I dig the pattern but can't do camo

Same here. The pattern looks great and overall I look at it and think it's a great piece but I just don't think it's for me. Wouldn't be the first time I said that about something though only to pick it up later on down the road and love it.

I'm finding myself slowly coming around on this one, especially the khaki variant. Not sure how to pull it off though in an urban setting. It's on the bottom of my list since IH has so many other things I want

I think it would like fine in the city as long as you aren't wearing it with matching pants and a boonie hat. I cant decide if I would wear it as a shirt or size it up as a shacket. I think the camo would look cool peaking out from under a 99 or 141.

That would probably look good with the 99/141. Or a hoodie under it would probably look good too.

I'm trying to get over the idea of looking like a wannabe hunter or Vietnam vet, but it looks so cool.
Buuuut, i've got my eye on the khaki ripstop cpo too so that may edge out the camo.

I never thought I could go for anything with such a fussy pattern but it's just fantastic. Living in Norway I'd have to work hard to get mistaken for a vet. There are loads of hunters here, but no one wears anything like that

that's because tiger stripe camo was intended for the jungles of Southeast Asia, so might look out of place in a country like Norway. As an aside, my ex-wife's grandad was from Norway. His obituary. My son's middle name is Ove.
Tigerstripe refers to the family of camouflage designs developed in Southeast Asia (particularly the Republic of Vietnam) during the 1960s which were derived from the original French tenue du leopard or lizard design of the 1950s. The pattern incorporates bold black stripes over lesser brownish-drab stripes and light green trace elements, with an olive green base color – and was particularly effective in the bamboo-rich rainforests. U.S. Special Operations Forces such as the U.S. Navy SEALs and the Green Berets are still using tigerstripe camouflage in operations in Afghanistan.

It's olive drab and brown/grey wool for Norwegian hunters. The elk season is in October and the grouse season lasts throughout the fall. So grey rock, evergreens and brown deciduous plants and trees form the palette. Tiger camo would be a fashion statement up here however you wore it.
Ove seemed like one helluva guy. D-day vet and all. Thanks for the link, fascinating stuff.

I never met him. He died a year before I might my ex-wife. She pronounced his name 'oh-vee,' but i'm sure that's incorrect.

You should pronounce it like "over" but with a slightly softer "o",

Here in Minnesota it's blaze orange and mossy oak camo for a lot of hunters. I'd venture to guess that the weather here is very similar to Norway.

will do, thanks. My understanding is that my ex-wife's grandad pronounced it "oh-vee" because he was always picked on when he was a boy here in the US and because no one could pronounce his name correctly.
