Me and My Army Surplus Collecting Hobby
I am an army surplus collector who used to collect army surplus items from a lot of sources. I like to look at these items when they sit in my shelf; they are somehow, having a great value to me.
In my collection, there are many great items from the world war time which I had a chance to buy from some collectors. I think collecting these items is a good way to help you remember the war, which was passed but still have a lot of memories in us.
My best item is the army surplus coat, which named the Swiss Gear. I bought it on eBay a long time ago when I was starting to collect army surplus items. Later, I discovered it is one of the best coats for the war, perfectly made by wool from the very top to the bottom! I really enjoy having it in my collection. Some friends have asked me to buy this one but I refused. If you are a collector like me, you will feel how they are important to you, money does not matter.
It is always fun when you gather up with your collectors’ club, where you can share your thought, idea and your rare items with each other. I have bought some special army surplus items from my friend, who I met when I go to the club. If you are looking for people sharing your interest, you can find online for more details and contact information. I still remember the first time I join an army surplus forum, which there are a lot of people showed a lot of great items!
Collecting items however costs money. To have a big collection, I have to spend a lot of money though, but, this is my hobby, besides other dangerous hobbies such as X-Games, online games, I find myself like collecting army surplus a lot. I will try to expand my collection in the near future.
If you want to start collecting army surplus, you can do it now. There are a lot of vendors online for you to buy from. You can also search in garage sale. Believe it or not, I bought one thirds of my collection from garage sales! A lot of people want to get rid of old items, so that they put them on garage sale, a great place to buy collectible items, just like the army surplus.

Army Surplus Bear Jacket on Winter
In the middle of February, to keep you warm in a bitter cold, you most likely already have a heavy-weight fleece jacket. Heavy- weight fleece jackets usually cost big bucks and not all of us can afford to spend hundred or more dollars. Instead, you are limiting yourself from outdoor activities in the winter because you only have a low budget. But there’s no need to worry because I have a solution for that. You can keep your body warm and your wallet fat with the Army Surplus Bear Jacket.
Let me begin by saying that the Bear Jacket is an army surplus which is not in low quality. Some people might be mistaken with the cheap far-east imitations that are not only in low quality but will fall apart quickly. This Bear Jacket is very genuine. Aside from that, this kind of jacket gives you a very warm feeling. In fact, it is so warm that I unzipped it while having a hike on 22F day because I feel so hot and I’m already sweating a lot. This jacket is made up from a fur-like insulation material that lines inside of it. It also has two slit pockets to keep your hands also warm. Its faux-shearing is muck alike to that you may have seen on the collars of other jackets. What makes it different is that it is warmer, softer and longer. Since overheating could become a trouble, the designers added armpit vents that are made from durable water proof and breathable nylon. It is responsible of letting out heat while keeping the elements out which the zipper vents cannot offer. The bottom of the forearms, the shoulders, the two 6 inch wide and 7 inch deep pockets are reinforced by the nylon. With the confidence that nothing will through your fleece, its durability lets you carry out and do camp tasks. The substantiated portions have insulation underneath and are not vents. In a good way, this jacket is very simple. Like most surplus products, there is no need to worry about failing. At the end of the sleeves, there Velcro closures which allows you to do adjustments of the cuffs around your wrists. Wearing gloves will be even better. To make the operation easy with gloves or mittens, the zipper has two long nylon pull tabs and has never hooked or came undone. These pockets made with large openings for the use of gloves. These are some of the features of the Bear Jacket sports. As what I have said that this jacket is simple, there is no other drawback than its pack ability. It is wherein its size is still of a small bedroll, whether you roll or fold the jacket.
Its simplicity, durability and the amount of warm that can give to you are the marks of an Army Surplus Bear Jacket that you can purchase on a very affordable price. You might say that it is cheaper than others because it is just an imitation, but it’s not. Believe me for I have tried it and it really does work.Monday, 30 May 2011
Army Surplus Clothing Keeps on Going
I have read from an article which talks about the struggle and at some to the point of closure of the Army surplus stores in the US. The author points out that the terrorists are making sure that those malicious groups cannot easily find good combat clothing and gear, which honestly, I am not sure if this is correct.
In fact, on my recent buying trip, I discovered that the extent of army surplus clothing is not into the quantities it was before. All UK Army surplus retailers have to go to bring in kit the MOD contractor who generally has cages and cages of product to choose from are for me a replica of its former self. Actually, Camo is a multi terrain pattern army clothing consolidated from the different patterns of the MOD. This will directly cut down on the amount of gear that is being manufactured. Soldiers then need less surplus clothing as the Camo jacket is not issued one to cover all bases. With another wholesaler, they can supply more of European surplus and they believed that the huge storage hangers that they discover at various UK army bases are empty. There are really nothing left in stores and as what they think, we also believe that this is very possible. For a long period of time, we have enjoyed the selling of this British surplus and now the gulp of this kind of gear is already gone. As we know, the MOD is being affected by the spending cuts of the government. For the next five (5) years, the days of purchasing 30,000 pairs of trousers to cover QM Stores had gone. This is the effect of the knock on this means. This is then the method of purchasing; Just In Time or JIT is being adopted. This means that if you only need 2,000 pairs of trousers, then that’s all they shall have made.
From the points above, you can notice that there is an awful lot more going on that has a big impact on the availability of surplus clothing. Simply, I can say that this is another chance for the “Terrorism” card to play. Terrorism is honestly an issue but there is nothing to do with blaming every one of our problems on it. They say that one of the most desirable items for surplus stores is the camouflage clothing but this is simply isn’t true. Camo clothing is really quite hard to sell. Paint balling fraternity really wants it, yes, I agree with that, but do you know how many regular paint ball players are there? And there it is, the World of Army Surplus now about to change as well as its kit, if not, getting it will become really hard. I doubted that this will go out of business. There have been many difficulties before and for a short time, a change in focus occurs, but it keeps on going. I know that this will be okay for one real reason and that is there is still sufficient stock to keep this business going for years.
