Sharp, zigzagging stripes cover the entire surface, creating a very powerful impression unlike the traditional flowing tiger stripes.Due to this distinctive camouflage pattern, it is affectionately known among collectors as the \u0026ldquo;ZIG ZAG Pattern.\u0026rdquo;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"379\" data-end=\"495\"\u003eAdditionally, this item is a specially cut pair of pants featuring a distinctive single-button cargo pocket design. The rear pocket is a patch pocket. Pants of the same style have been identified in the \"Okinawa Tiger\" line, which featured a lime green base color, from the same period, leading scholars to believe this is a special variation produced for only a limited time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"497\" data-end=\"619\"\u003eHowever, this period coincided with a transitional phase when the ERDL camouflage was just beginning to be fully adopted. Consequently, there are very few examples of its use in actual combat. As many units transitioned to ERDL or successor equipment, the ZIG ZAG pattern quickly disappeared from the mainstream.By the early 1970s, Okinawa-made souvenirs featuring this pattern, primarily intended for the Marine Corps, began to appear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"709\"\u003eIn that sense, this pattern represents the final chapter in the history of Tiger Stripe camouflage; it is a fascinating model that could be called a \"phantom late-model\" that never had the chance to see sufficient action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"711\" data-end=\"865\"\u003eFurthermore, this particular item belongs to a production lot that used relatively sturdy, thick fabric\u0026mdash;a rarity among the few confirmed ZIG ZAG patterns. Tiger Stripe products are known for variations in fabric and color depending on the manufacturing plant or contract, but this item\u0026rsquo;s thick, substantial fabric is its main appeal, allowing you to fully appreciate the unique presence of an authentic Tiger Stripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"867\" data-end=\"891\"\u003eAbove all, its condition is truly remarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"893\" data-end=\"985\"\u003eAlthough this is a model rarely seen in actual use, most examples show damage from wear or storage.
