Buzz Rickson's Gold Tiger Pattern Jacket

Introduced during the latter part of the Vietnam War, the Gold Tiger Pattern Jacket is an authentic reproduction and as close to these highly sought after vintage garments as you'll come across. 

Worn historically by elite units such as the U.S. Army Special Forces and Navy SEALs, this shirt features the iconic tiger stripe camouflage, originally designed to blend soldiers in with the jungle environments. This example from Buzz Rickson's has been meticulously hand-applied on era-accurate, Japanese-cut cotton twill.

The design remains faithful to its roots, with a simple button-front closure using authentic urea buttons. Two symmetrical chest pockets offer functional storage, while smaller sleeve pockets were originally intended to carry cigarettes or water purification tablets, critical tools for operations in areas with unreliable water sources.
