IHSH-186 - Tiger Stripe CPO Shirt

@gaseousclay:

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.

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.

I never understood the blaze orange and camo. Are you trying to hide or trying to stick out?! HA

I can't wait to get my hands on the camp shirt! Great idea guys.

About 7 or 8 oz at a guess….

I'd forgotten about this…... the wife hates camo so it's a definite purchase

What's the ETA? I don't want to miss this bad boy!

[Giles]

Whatever it says in the timetable is the best I know….Obviously, mid-Oct won't be hit, but I have not been updated....

Since there are tons of them in this picture and Kento is wearing one, is there an ETA on the shirts?

Any updates on this, @Alex ?  I'll have to pick the kids up at 17:00 german time and hope it will not interfere with the going life time of this shirt (if there is a specific time at all, since this one does not seem to be so hyped).
