    Hello
    The tiger camouflage pattern is called ThaÏland pattern
    Pattern used in the end of Vietnam war, and not in ripstop material
    So, ripstop material + stamp dated 1965 is for me just fake

    I will back up what Gilles states 100%. The pattern is documented in R.D. Johnson's book, 'Tiger Patterns'. The fact that it was around in 1965 which is what the stamp indicates is laughable.
