Pro tip-go to military surplus stores in cities that have large military bases. You’re way more likely to find interesting stuff for better prices. “Fell off the back of the truck” and what not.

Theres just something very comfy about this video that I cant explain.

I grew up in the 70s and 80s, in L.A. there was no shortage of surplus shops there at that time. Most of them died off or became outdoor gear shops with a few bits of surplus in the back. I miss crawling the dusty shelves with that unique preserved canvas musk, digging through boxes of gear from previous decades. I often lament the passing of true surplus shops. New stores are packed with Chinese made nylon pouches and bags. I still search for the old school shops when I visit a new city, hoping to find the real deal. I just got back from Texas and was able to stop at a personal favorite in Fort Worth, Omaha's Surplus. That place will take you back, my friend!

As a kid i absolutely loved army surplus shops, ammunition boxes, hollowed out grenades and bullets, combats, jackets, hats. Loved it .

Dallas Tx has a couple of really nice surplus stores that I used to haunt when I still lived there.

Good video. I live in Tampa Fl & I always shop at my local Army Surplus store. I like wearing BDU pants & T-shirts

I know I can buy them online but I like supporting the local business.

One last thing. It doesn’t get cold here like in Boston but they do sell jackets that are perfect for our mild winters.

Vintage trends in Hollywood still have loads of authentic Ma1 M65’s etc 👌🏻 awesome store

[elonnabettini]

you guys should really consider doing a feature on bobby from boston - his store and warehouse are iconic parts of boston fashion history and were always a go-to when i was in college for sourcing amazing pieces for not just my personal collection but for shows/shoots

[Legionnaire]

Wish we had stores like this in the U.K.

Amazing footage. My question jacket is the name Jeff is wearing ? Thanks in advance who can answer this question.

So they look stylish in Boston. In fly over country they Work and are stylish. Hunt/Fish/ outdoor work and look good going to Wal Mart. The M1951 is a Great OVERCOAT if you ever find one. Designed to wear over your other gear. Like the M65, they have a removable woobie type liner, except they are longer, around your knees.

Rambo and Taxi Driver made those M65 sell out
