’Tiger Skin’ was the nickname for the blue and white striped pullovers, which were formerly part of sailors’ clothing. From the mid-19th century conscripts in the Danish Navy wore sailor suits with the characteristic squared collar adorned with stripes. The blue and white striped undershirts were introduced in 1879 and were in use until 1929.
