Collection: American Tiger Stripe Special Forces Advisor Sparse CAMO

The Tiger Stripe Special Forces Advisor Sparse CAMO is inspired by the early Vietnam War-era Tiger Stripe variants designed for U.S. Special Forces advisors and elite reconnaissance units operating in jungle environments. This pattern, characterized by its widely spaced black and dark green stripes over a lighter olive or tan background, was favored for covert operations, long-range patrols, and counterinsurgency missions. One of the most famous depictions of this camouflage appeared in John Wayne’s 1968 war film The Green Berets, where it was worn by characters portraying U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets) advising South Vietnamese troops. American advisors primarily used this variation of Tiger Stripe, MACV-SOG teams, ARVN Rangers, and indigenous Montagnard forces. They later influenced camouflage patterns in Thailand, the Philippines, and other Southeast Asian nations. The Tiger Stripe Special Forces Advisor Sparse CAMO available through CAMO HQ is inspired by this historic and cinematic camouflage, preserving its classic, battle-proven aesthetic while adapting it for commercial and non-military applications.
