Official Mil/surplus Thread

I like the jacket, but not what you wore it with.

Just realized my style is pretty military focused, got some sick boots and coat from a local surplus the other day. Will post pics when I get my camera.

It's like brand new, very crisp. As I wear it more it'll loosen up and become less structured. This isn't the ideal fit, I just threw it over what I was wearing.

used to be great, now it is just pretty good

Another Philly boy, huh? See you must have spent at much time at Zipperhead and the Revival as I did... Agreed on your iGoldberg review. Lost it's soul somehow.

Just got a repro M-41, and it's an amazing jacket and worth every penny (well, almost, since I'm not a reenactor needing mil-spec zippers and buttons. But highly recommeded for an early fall jacket with jeans. Love the collar and all the details on this:

At The Front makes the best mil-spec repros I've seen. Ships next day, great quality.

^^Does anyone have experience with At the front? THey have some tempting stuff, but the whole oldschool design of the site, and having no idea of actual quality makes me a bit hesistant.

So I'm looking for a shoulder bag to carry a few things, snacks, mp3 player, water bottle etc. I have one of these kicking around, any thoughts? https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/finnish-gas-mask-bag-surplus/1715

I'm thinking that its just too much of one color, but of course, im here looking for style advice.

I just realized the last post is 9 years ago , oops!
