US Advisor 1968 Type 02 Tigerstripes Camouflage Fleece Hoodie

Pattern: US Advisor 1968 Type 02 Tiger Stripe

This hoodie is printed with a Vietnam-era US advisor tiger-stripe camouflage, the feather-edged jungle pattern worn by American advisers and special-operations troops in Southeast Asia in the 1960s. It is a warm, fleece-lined pullover whose printed face carries a genuine, traceable piece of that history.

About the tiger stripe family

The tiger stripe is a family of jungle camouflage developed by South Vietnamese forces for close-range jungle combat, adopted by US Special Forces in Vietnam from late 1962 to early 1963. American advisers and special-operations personnel wore the pattern widely in the 1960s, which is why this rendition is labelled into the advisory era.

The Type 02 colorway

“Type 02” and “1968” are MegaCamo labels that point to this specific advisory-era rendition. By eye it is a classic green-and-brown jungle tiger stripe: olive-green and tan bands crossed by darker brown and grey-blue feather-edged stripes on a mid-green base. It is the pattern most people picture when they think of the Vietnam tiger stripe.

How the pattern reads on your hoodie

Because the tiger stripe is built from horizontal feathered bands rather than dense dots, it spreads cleanly across the chest, down the sleeves and over the kangaroo pocket without turning to noise. The mix of green and grey-blue bands gives the pattern a busy, layered look that holds its detail across a full-length garment like this.

Why own this fleece-lined hoodie?

The honest reason is that this is a real, traceable pattern with a specific, well-documented history, printed here on a surface that shows it off. A warm, comfortable hoodie whose exterior is genuinely interesting to look at is a different thing from a plain one, and a Vietnam-advisory tiger stripe is a long way from the generic camo that fills most of streetwear. If you collect patterns, or simply want something historically loaded no one else is wearing, this is it.

Comfort, fit and build

This fleece-lined hoodie is built for everyday wear. It is 100% polyester with a soft brushed fleece interior, an adjustable drawstring hood, long sleeves with ribbed cuffs and a roomy kangaroo pocket that carries a phone and keys. The fit is relaxed, so it layers easily over a T-shirt and still looks tidy under a heavier jacket.

Made to order, sizing and care

Like every MegaCamo piece, this hoodie is made to order – printed and sewn only after you place your order, then shipped once fulfilment from our supplier is complete. Expect 4 to 7 days of production before it ships, on top of transport. Sizes run S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL, with a +/-5% tolerance in length from manual measurement and the print process. To keep it at its best, machine wash cold, do not bleach and do not tumble dry.
