Why do people spend more than $50 on Military style clothing when you can get them for less at army surplus stores usually for better or equal quality?

i bought a parka on amazon for like $30. most military surplus stuff is dirt cheap. i saw what i'm pretty sure was the exact same parka on urban outfitters website for like 2-3 times the price. people are just retarded.

It's request in a way, but can someone dump some pictures of military clothing (overcoats and jackets mainly)?
>>
Because there isnt an army surplus close to where i live

My favorite jacket is probably my 1969 m65. If you size down right the old ones can fit cool as fuck.

Kinda smells like an attic, but what can you expect for a 46 year old jacket

Op made it sound like he was referring to physical stores, i know how to internetz

This isn't true. Outmoded surplus clothing is built like shit compared to plenty of reproduction stuff.

Anyone know how the Alpha m65's (non slim) fit? I wear a XL or a L in t-shirts, and I got a medium, hoping it's not slim but not billowy either
>>
>>10652199
Damn thanks anon, this site has so much good shit for cheap. I

i've never been to a military surplus store, how much does a jacket like that cost?
>>
>>10652258
Typically $40

anyone?

I would like to but the German Flecktern meme parka but I dunno. How's the shipping on some of these military surplus stores?
>>
>>10652529
I got mine for 20

alpha has the n-3b in slim, which i prefer to the bulkier look of the original.

if the original looked good on me i'd cop it.

also military surplus usually only sells in sage and black, which are my least favorite colors for outerwear.

Not if you know what to look for, check out the milsurp thread on /k/, there's some neat shit they got there
>>
>>10652115
is it safe to buy from here? they have some cool looking stuff but ivan seems like a shady guy to give my credit card info to.
>>
>>10653227
ive bought things from there before
he only messed up once with an order but its alright since he was great with shipping it back and exchanging for the right thing

They're usually like a size bigger than the label says so you'll be good probably.
