I'm on Telny's site but if you still want to make one, here are some pointers:
Milspo is about availablity. The appeal of this style is how little it costs relative to the great quality you get. The more research you put in, the deeper you dig, the better, cheaper and more rare garments you get. Some surplus wells dry up, others open up: Maybe some army finds a load of formerly scarce WW2 shit they didn't know they had, maybe some new uniforms are released or a new store with unusual items goes online. This is why we respect Telny and Knoch - they put in the effort to acquire some very scarce items. This is also why you shouldn't put specific items or webshops on the graphic - not only because what is available changes constantly but because the freedom to create your own look, your own collection is central to the idea of milsurp - as well as the ethics of knowing your shit, of putting in the extra effort to acquire this collection.
If not specific items or webshops, what can you put on the list? Explaining how to spot good milsurp would be a good idea. A primer on the materials, an explanation of wool loden for example, or the advantages of certain blends in the military context. Maybe highlighting some armies that have excellent quality in most of thier items - the Swiss and Norwegians for example. Explaining certain common types of garments as you did with pants and boots (although "wool pants" is a stupid category - they're cargo trousers and wool uniforms should be mentioned in the materials section). You could do that very well with jackets, explaining some of the classic cuts - for example highlighting the field jacket, the parka. Why not the battledress uniform as a specific type? Or the Gorka? The concept of a smock is probably not known to every however fashion savvy person. Or that of ankle ties, or that of trouser blousers. You could do some real useful shit here.
