US Army Jungle tiger fatigues worn by Sergeant James E. Moss during the Vietnam War. The fatigues consist of a jacket (.1) and pants (.2). The jacket is made of printed cotton twill in black, brown, and green tiger stripe camo. It has a pointed self-fabric collar and opens in the center front with six taupe plastic buttons sewn to the proper right side. The long sleeves taper towards the wrists. A self-fabric patch pocket with a flap is sewn to the top of the proper left sleeve. A vertical buttonhole is sewn on the pocket flap, but there is no matching button. The sleeves end in self-fabric cuffs which open along the side. A godet is placed on the bottom of the sleeve ending above the cuff opening. Two taupe plastic buttons are sewn to one side of the cuff opening which align with a buttonhole on the other side.
