Tom Originally wore a set of Tigers that we made by an asian company by the name of KAMO and imported by World Famous and Cheif. You can tell in the early episodes because the shirt pockets are down by the belly. I had a set in the mid 80's very lightweight, great for tropical adventures!!
The later episodes appear to be a faded Rip-Stop cotton two pocket shirt style not sure who made them. I had a 4 pocket rip-stop set in the early 90's I took off the bottom set of pockets, they were great for Paintball!

You can still find them on ebay from time to time:

I have a Tiger Stripe shirt, I bought for paintball. It is the most expensive shirt in my closet!
And oh yeah: I chose to purchase a Tiger Stripe camo shirt totally because of MPI!!!

Moore Militaria currently makes the most accurate VietNam
War tigerstripes.
They are in the "tadpole" pattern type.
Tadpole's were used by S.E.A.L.'s, and Special Forces units.

The tadpole pattern is quite similar to those used in Magnum's early episodes.

Moore's tadpoles are lightweight, accurately cut [pre 1968],
and they are of the highest quality.

I own 3 sets and they are 100% good-to-go.
