This is a Tiger Stripe shirt from the Okinawa Tiger pattern, used around the mid-1960s, with an Asian cut, one button chest, no arm bandage pockets, identical to the pattern also known as JWD or John Wayne, etc. It is used in good condition.

The Okinawa Tiger Pattern, along with the Silver Tiger Pattern, has many color variations and lots, and has many differences, including mainland sewing and Okinawan sewing. This pattern has been used since the relatively early days of the Tiger Stripe, and many American advisors and local soldiers can be seen wearing this pattern in old photos from CIDG and other sources.

The size tag remains and the shirt is size A-M. Asia cut shirts have some parts simplified or omitted to facilitate mass production, and this shirt is no different. Although slightly faded, this shirt is in good condition with only a few washes, judging from the condition of the size tag. The shirt is relatively large for an Asian cut and was probably issued to an American, hence the handwritten name of what appears to be an American. The Tiger shirt is in excellent condition as it was at the time. It will be treated as a used item. Please note that it is non-returnable.
