@@james2k I hope you realize most surplus stores would not exist if they did actually serve nazi related items. They can only use modern German uniforms.

I feel like this video should have more recognition than it does. It's really well produced, it's concise and to the point. I learned a little something and it genuinely made me want to visit one of these surplus stores.
Sad to see that these types of stores are a dying breed. I run one that is owned by my stepfather and I hope to keep it going until I'm gone too. The items you can find in these stores are things you may never see again in your lifetime. Some of the things we get mean more to me than anything I own, just for the fact that it was used to keep yours and my freedom.
@@bobfresno7134 I’m sorry to say no, unfortunately I didn’t get to take over when he and my mother retired like I was told the entire time I was there. Sadly we closed in March of 2020 after just shy of 40 years in business. I hope to one day soon be able to open again because so many people loved coming in and I loved talking to all of them.
Opals Bodhi obviously if someone is buying foreign surplus they are not committing stolen valor. If a 20 year old buys a U.S. Vietnam era uniform they are obviously either a collector or it's a fashion statement. Even if someone wears a modern U.S. uniform it's perfectly fine as long as they don't wear the full uniform with full insignia in public.
alex herring boots?!? Are you kidding me? Are you actually trying to tell me that if I wear the issue boots that my green beret neighbor gave me that's stolen valor? They're fucking boots! They make civilian boots that look just like those! Do you actually think it's stolen valor for a 20 something to wear ww2 trousers? Currently enlisted? My honorably discharged grandpa can't wear his Vietnam issue overcoat in the winter? Fuck off.
A whole store full of military artifacts and we get to see size 56 bdu pants, old sea bags and some German camo jackets... this video was not very dope.
There used to be a lot more, but they're going away because militaries are becoming smaller, meaning less and less surplus is being created. It's sad to see them going away, but at the same time it's positive in how it reflects that less young people are being sent to die in conflicts.
I wanted to look at every single thing. I just started my flecktarn collection because German stuff is plentiful and cheap and I have to say I love the look and the quality. Well worth it for sure. The cool flecktarn jacket he picked up is only $10 all day and the big super nice parkas if you pay more than $30 you're getting ripped off even though the quality and what you get is worth more. Also the duffel bag the employee said he fit all of his clothes in is no joke for someone looking for an easier way to move clothes or laundry. I have the same one from when I was in the military and I lived entirely out of that bag comfortably for quite some time. It'll fit all your uniforms, every basic necessity you can think of and then a lot more. I love using it for clothes and bedding now though. I think there's a black hole in the bottom of it or something.
I have purchased a very unique and rare item in surplus last week. It was a German WWII Fieldmarshall uniform with its knights cross of the iron cross medal.
@@LockheedC-130HerculesOfficial The Knight's Cross ("Ritterkreuz") is a higher ranking medal than the iron cross, and the official name is in fact what is stated in the original comment. A German field marshall in WW2 would most likely have been old enough to have served as an officer during WW1 already and received his IC back then.
You're too young to remember Pally's War Surplus Store in downtown L.A. in the late 50s to early 60s. It was a real surplus store where you could buy helmets, ammo belts all manner of uniforms and tactical gear. You could get a B-17 gyroscope or a Sperry ball-turret and all manner of aircraft components, literally everything except the weapons. We used to spend hours in this huge store, I mean big! What they call Army Surplus stores today is pretty wimpy by comparison.
@@demurevilleneuvewinslet8235 I honestly don't remember, but was located to the side of downtown LA sort of in the warehouse district. They had a big parking lot too with lots of aircraft parts, wings, landing gear, electronics, flak jackets, heated flight suits, etc, etc, amazing place. Inside was row after row of all manner of Army Infantry gear, boots, packs, belts, shovels, radios, ect. I remember the place smelled like a cross between cosmoline and Olive drab green dyed canvas.
Man I used to wear vintage military stuff for years now and suddenly everyone is wearing it or clothes inspired by it without even knowing what theyre wearing, kinda sad losing the history of the garnments
The best army surplus I came across was in Japan. They get it from all the military bases and really sort through it. Got me a US Army Camp Jacket. My wife stole it and now it's hers.
Oh I just assumed that this store was located at the intersection of the two streets that they showed the signs for. I've never been to CA by the way. I wouldn't know the difference.
I have a war veteran teacher he is the best teacher i have had and probably will have he is very funny i will probably buy him something from there im like about 1 hour away thank you for this video
Once I get a job after college, I'm going to this store before it disappears. It has always been my dream to have a gas mask since Fallout 2 released. Also a Katana, cause why not? ( it will stay at home of course )
LeeroyFan101 Of course you don't get to keep it when you get out. Im just joking around by saying if you want military gear you can get some by joining...the military.
Yo I see them WW2 German tunics with the SS cuff titles on em.That has to be repro. That East German Tunic though was tight lookin. Ima scope this place for real when Im in LA in Feb.
The bell bottoms are called landlubbers, most comfortable jeans you'll ever have. Coincidentally my division in basic training in the Navy was the last one issued them in August 1999. Miss them...
Just to put my insight as someone who recently went all across LA surplus hunting. This store definitely has the widest and nicest collection close to “the surplus store” however stock of old vintage is running thin and is now mainly modern camping gear and newer outdoors stuff. So if you get the chance swing by and buy whatever you can cause eventually this stuff will run out or be left online for inflated prices. Definitely a sick shop especially for old era helmets and gas masks.
Oh yeah here in Toronto the Vietnam era stuff is really running thin, and it upsets me to know people are snatching this stuff up to turn a profit and not using it for its purpose. Sucks to see such awesome pieces of history not go to a loving home
Ist eine alte Jacke aus der Zeit kurz nach dem der Bundesgrenzschutz in Bundespolizei umbenannt, aber bevor von grüne auf blaue Uniformen umgestellt wurde.
that last open top bag are so handy, i use mine as a gym / bjj bag so easily to stow away a big gi towel and water bottle. will be using it for an upcoming overseas trip.
I understand the clothes I mean get I wear military winter hats so I don't die without having exposed skin to air after 5 minutes ( it's cold where I'm from) but military ribbons? C'mon, that's too much.
JAG ÄTER BARN what the fuck do you mean by "too much?" Have you not heard of collecting? Have you not considered that maybe a veteran wants to buy the insignia they wore but don't have anymore?
Aidan Duncan Which the majority of the time is the case. Also how would a vet lose a previous medal awarded to them? Even If you lost one why would you want to buy some other dudes award since they have the original recipients name on the back of the award on, oh I don't know, just about every medal that's ever existed for the U.S military. But whatever...
JAG ÄTER BARN soldiers coming back from wars would pawn or sell things they were issued all the time for extra money and then sometimes they regret it later on in life. It's not so much with awards but more rank insignia or unit patches. My grandpa bought an old seventh infantry pin because he's proud that he was in that unit and wanted another one. It's extremely rare that someone goes buys something like that for stolen valor. Most people are not that fucked up. Military collectors are extremely common as well.
Aidan Duncan And what your Grandpa was perfectly reasonable. Unit patches are a different ball game then say the Silver Star, or a Purple Heart. That's where the issue comes into play because people will sometimes buy one giving some fake ass story with no pictures or proof as the people they tell it to are so stupid they believe them. But yeah, identifying with a Unit or MOS. That's fine with me.
I used to wear all of this stuff back in the late 90's when I was a punk rock/hardcore kid. I used to shop at my local surplus store all the time, sadly they closed almost a decade ago. Kids these days are only wearing this because others wear it (hypebeasts) and because it's the trendy thing to do, they're posers just into it because others are doing it. Back then you wore it because you were in the military or were into punk/hardcore punk, and only a select few were into that.
Maxx's World now it's my turn to pretend like I know what I'm talking about because I sort of do so here goes me eating my own words: SEALs never just "killed civilians" fortunately. They started in WW2 as divers and they called em "frogmen" which lead to renaming them SEALs which I'm sure you know means "sea, air, and land" and the Navy used them to kill the bad dudes, never civilians thanks to the laws we established on war crimes after WW1.
These videos make me miss my local military surplus store. Been wearing military clothing by choice and even before I knew what it was in my toddler days with the boonie hats thanks to my old man.
It's likely East German, after the war they kind of kept the WW2 era German look with their uniforms. So if you ever want to dress up like a German soldier for Halloween or whatever, you can get East German boots and uniforms from the 80s for much cheaper and still have that classic look.
Yeah you're right he probably did mean it that way , yup he totally did . Thanks for informing me on that really , I don't know what I would have done if you had not told me .
Georg Sarlin awesome 👏 i liked their särmä windproof jacket, its an awesome thing to have if you do camping in a woods or hiking. i have also bought a shit ton of other clothing and boots, i even bought a bundeswehr eating kit (dont know what it is called in english lol) and i've used it. totally prefer this surplus stuff over those overpriced clothes made for civilian hiking/camping

thats wearing the wrong teams uniform
Is that a wehrmacht jacket at 0:42 I see??
yea. I really want that cause it look like it is good for cold weather.
Tmz
keroji s Yeah no, its not good for cold weather. If it was, the germans wouldn't have lost in russia...
It's likely East German, after the war they kind of kept the WW2 era German look with their uniforms. So if you ever want to dress up like a German soldier for Halloween or whatever, you can get East German boots and uniforms from the 80s for much cheaper and still have that classic look.
Must be from the GDR
Used to go to the Hollywood Blvd location in the 80s, 90s and early Y2K.
Me too, though I think the one in Burbank is better.
Thanks to RUclips for suggesting this video, I would like to check this place out some day
This was interesting
this clown really said " unworn deadstock" LMAO
i dont get why people dont just say "stock", like nah they be on a mission to make every phrase trendy. L
luis mendez deadstock is the correct term tho
if its unworn its obviously dead stock , he could have said unworn on its own .
He probably meant it in the original definition meaning no longer in production
Yeah you're right he probably did mean it that way , yup he totally did . Thanks for informing me on that really , I don't know what I would have done if you had not told me .
I always love going to the surplus shop once in awhile you can get good deals on some tough stuff
"That's DOPE...Thats pretty DOPE...Look how DOPE that is...."
“This is classic” : The Video
Why did he call m81 woodland m65
Its a m65 field jacket in m81 camo. I have a m65 in UCP.
I love the east and west German jackets.
I have been to that place before it is freking awesome
M65? It’s M81...
You're right! My mistake mis-ID'ing those jackets and thanks for the correction.
BlueSeal8 ok chill mr perfect
BlueSeal8 The camo pattern on them was M81 but the jackets themselves are designated M65.
Got one myself in black.
i was about to comment that it literally pained me
M65 - Jacket type
M81 - Camo pattern type
"Traditional M65" IT'S M81!!!!
The pattern and cut of the jacket is M65, whereas the camo is M81 dunce
I love surplus shops.
Best part about every item they sell is there all very good quality gear, like amazing quality.
Hate the word dope, just sounds stupid to me
shut up stupid
N That comment is dope as fuck.
N Dope opinion bro.
N that’s dope
DOPE
its pretty much like varusteleka, but without all the cynical humor
Antti Ratinen I got some DPM and a Balaclava on their online store once. Really good stuff.
Diego Meneses i know, i live in helsinki so i visit their store here semi regulary. they really deserve every penny i pay for their stuff
Antti Ratinen I've bought a police belt, shemagh, and two Finland flag patches and a combat shirt from varusteleka
Georg Sarlin awesome 👏 i liked their särmä windproof jacket, its an awesome thing to have if you do camping in a woods or hiking. i have also bought a shit ton of other clothing and boots, i even bought a bundeswehr eating kit (dont know what it is called in english lol) and i've used it. totally prefer this surplus stuff over those overpriced clothes made for civilian hiking/camping
Antti Ratinen i use the stuff i (my dad) bought for airsoft its really good quality
I’ve been there, I loved it!
All the stolon valor’s come there to get their gear
