I left 'Nam in '70 - we were supposed to turn all our clothing and gear into S4 (supply) but they really didn't care if you took some of the uniform stuff with you. I took some with me, but left most of it behind. If I had that stuff now, I could buy a car with what I could sell it for. Still got the Dress Greens I wore when I was discharged, though - that uniform will be in my closet the day I die.
What’s up, Big Yumbo. Love your videos I hope you keep having success. I got a question when you’re trying to move aged inventory how big of a discount do you find is effective to get it to move? Thanks for any advice. Good luck.
I also regret selling my military grail. I had a pair of 40s navy denim dungarees. I got good money for them but I don't think I'll ever find something like them again.
I found a pair of 1947 Sateen drab olive pants. I wouldn’t have bothered with them if I hadn’t watched your videos. So thank you. Problem is that they fit me and I’m a middle aged lady. But I don’t want to wear them and maybe wreck them, and where would I wear them anyway? Kroger? The bins? But I can’t seem to make myself list them either.
Great shit as usual dude. Is there any resources you could recommend online to learn more about military clothing and camo patterns in general? I live near a navy base and find some stuff but don’t have the knowledge base. Thanks as always
Whhaaaaatttt? My whole channel is dedicated to my Military Collection. You gotta give me a look. Great video and great collection. Nice to see someone else who loves the same items I do. Keep up the great work.
Totally agree and thanks for watching. I like the idea of long form but it’s hard to keep attention. Still, I do love to geek out about the items I have so I’ll consider the option. Thanks for the reply.
I would bet there is a lot of great military clothing finds around Oceanside / Camp Pendleton. Back around 2008 I used to find a lot of Navy pea coats around San Diego. There was always a ton of military clothing available. You should make the trip.
Are army navy surplus stores still a thing? I used to hit them all the time as a kid. Do you source there? I sold a cool ass slant pocket green one. Probably too low
GL on the 1945 Hugo Boss. Jk, any HG besides Tiger Stripe? I'll sell it to you for shipping cost if I ever find it. My coolest militaria find so far would probably be either the m-1951 alpaca wool hat (Korean war) or the M6 gas mask bag.
Sounds like a good deal. As far as holy military grails I’m looking for a Mitchell pattern “in country” jacket or pants and I’m looking for anything WWII frogskin . Some 40s USN denim would be cool too.
You should keep both jackets at 7:56. Anytime I've ever sold something when I had multiples that involved a hobby I always regretted it. Plus, if you really get into it then you'll be mad because the jackets are variations on each other. You'll want both to show the differences. Or, you have more self control than I do and you should just sell the duplicate. My advice also may not be the greatest because I definitely have collecting issues. Fuck...
I felt like a mom watching their sons video. I don’t know what the heck you’re talking about but I’m proud of you.
Thanks, mom.
You need to invent your own pattern called Yumboflage that makes you hard to spot in the thrift
I’m already invisible 😢
Super cool collection. Hope the best finds are yet to come. Sick book too.
Sorry about my neighbors loud ass AC.
Awesome video!
Hey where have you been????

Thank you for your service, Ralph.
very nice little collection. makes me want to do a similar video of my own collection lol
You should.
Sick wolf shirt

No wayyy. That’s on my list.
this was a really cool vid. Its awesome to see how much innovation originates from military wear

Just keep em if you like em.
thanks for the education!

Yeah usmilitariaforum.com, estate sale relics on RUclips and Japanese vintage instagram.
@@bigyumbo thanks man truly appreciate it

I know you. I watch all your shorts. Learned a lot from you. You need to post some long form vids and share that knowledge.

the ww2 trouser look like the early iteration on the p-44 that became the monkey pants
Thank you. I’d love to own some monkey pants.
The last jacket with cool camo, i sold one like it few months ago for pretty good profit
Nice!

They’re around and they’re expensive. I don’t source there. That’s cheating.

I really would like to find a pair of fss wildland firefighter aramid pants from the 70s. I had a pair last year but they were too small for me 😢
I’ll have to look into those. Sounds cool.
I sold a pair last year for like 70ish if I remember correctly. Would have kept them but weren't my size.
Dude you must have been in the military in your last life. Seriously, you need to get that checked out.
I don’t care to sell any military gear. Unless it the Patagonia military pieces. I’ve only found one of those
That’s ok. I’ll take it.
The Military probably invented half the clothes you're wearing
@@zachariah7114 that’s fine. I just don’t care to sell it. This vid was still good to watch for education 👍
