This is a Tiger Stripe Booney Hat used by the C-3 Mike Force, MACV SOG, and other units of the Civilian Irregular Defense Group Program (CIDG) during the Vietnam War in the 1960s. This is a locally made boonie hat that can sometimes be seen in documentary photos. It is made from Silver Tiger shirts and repair fabrics, and has a black lining. The core is made of straw. The core is made of straw and can be seen through the torn parts. It is a very valuable item and one of the hard-to-find items among Tiger Booneys.
The condition of the item is that it has actually been used, so there are fading and fraying. Unlike Japanese-made boonys, this item has a unique Vietnam War feel to it, but it has a very nice atmosphere to it. This is a very rare Tiger Stripe boonie and a great collection. This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand that it is a used item and cannot be returned.
