swiss and Scandinavian surplus is the best from a fashion perspective

the swiss m-70 has inspired a whole bunch of designers, and blackyoto is selling a black dyed version of it this season along with swiss field pants and the danish net shirt

swedish parkas are also really nicely designed, shame the country is so cucked so it's wasted on them

>>11341180
>M70
Do you mean M90? Pretty sure before that they just used olive drab.

Some of you might like this.

Here's a more "out there" design.

>>11341193
I think he just means the jacket design rather than the camo. The M70 has lots of 3d pockets and the like. Also it's usually seen in alpenflage, not olive.

>>11341213
Oh fuck I'm dumb, I thought he said Swedish and not Swiss. Oops.

>>11341213
>>11341180
Also people are paying almost $1000 for a $15 jacket and some black dye. Top kek.

Anyways, I hear East German shit has some fashion appeal.

>>11341241
yeah man blackyoto is brilliant yet everything people hate about fashion at the same time

>>11341197
you're right. would this normally be at a military surplus store?

>>11341252
brilliant from a business perspective at least. 2000% markup on some dirt cheap surplus jackets. i wonder who buys this shit.

>>11341314
Yeah.

>>11341317
People with a lot of money to burn I'd imagine

>>11341197
what color would you say this is? It looks kinda black here, but on milsurp sites it looks very green

Big fan of German snow camo.

>>11341168
I own that one

>>11341168
is that actual bundeswehr shit?

>>11341934
Same here, I love a good old smock every now and then.

>>11341168
>>11342768
Flecktarn is nothing too special, you can pick it up for like £2 for a shirt and 2.50 for some pants here in the UK. It's only German webbing that seems to cost a bit more.

If I'm 5'8 but in shape, can I pull off milspo

>>11342826
Don't see why not.

w2c decent looking milsurp outwear that can fit into casual outfits?

preferably that ships to the uk.

As a fellow bong the best place to get militaria is your local army and navy store or even eBay. Most online stores that sell surplus stuff tend to overprice it so watch out.

>>11341888
green, I wasn't taking the photos in good lighting

>>11342873
ebay is a good place to look, as a general rule don't pay more than what you think it's worth.

I wear a lot of milsurp because I'm pretty stingy about spending money and don't have a lot and can't be bothered to spend a lot on clothes
That said it's possible to not look like a total sperg
I've found that not wearing more than 1 piece with camp is a good rule
I also don't wear blue jeans because I don't own any and I don't know how well it'll work. I also take off most flag patches but that's personal preference, I just think it looks tacky especially if you aren't in that country.
Swiss stuff is cool and a jacket could probably be worn with regular street shirt and pants provided they're both a light color
I usually just wear German stuff because I own a lot of earth tones and live in a forest and people think it's alright

>>11343215
You're definitely right about only wearing one camo item.

>>11342855
b a s e d

>>11341307
where can i get this?
also are there any online stores that have cool army patches?

>>11342873
>>11343201

Any recommended ebay shops? Or key terms to search? I'd love a nice jacket that isn't just mass produced chinese shit.

>>11343215
Milsurp is amazing, but I totally agree with this. It's kinda difficult to get military pieces working in an outfit, but it can be done fucking well.

BDU pants are amazing and I miss the pre-digicamo flecktarn

is there any navy colored milsurp fashionable enough to wear?

>>11341205
this is beautiful

>>11343610
>It's kinda difficult to get military pieces working in an outfit, but it can be done fucking well.

Wearing a military surplus jacket/outerwear is easy as fuck, don't pretend like it requires vast knowledge of coördination. It's just an earthtone jacket (with a potentially loud pattern depending on the piece itself), just wear simpe stuff with it and you're good.

Wearing wooleypully's or 50's parajumper trousers is a whole different ballgame but come on, it's just clothing.

>>11343674
Bundeswehr navy Parka

>>11343711
Eh, in my personal experience some people in the US get kinda weird about others wearing milsurp. It may have just been the weird Southern towns I used to live in, but people tend to think its pseudo-stolen-valor type shit under certain circumstances.

That said, you're 100% right.

>>11343711
already own the olive version + a flecktarn, can you think of anything shorter in length?

>>11343718
that's because southerners and enlisted boots in general have this high and mighty air that they're dying for our country by fucking around and being stationed across the world, when nobody has imposed upon our freedom since like...world war 2...

what kind of fit do these sweaters have? i'm not sure what size to get. i'm usually a medium, but i think this would look bad tight.

>>11343718
In Europe people really couldn't care less. Stolen valour isn't even a thing here because you don't get benefits for being a vet. The only time people get funny is if you start wearing stuff that is clearly German army gear from the 40s

>>11343718
>Eh, in my personal experience some people in the US get kinda weird about others wearing milsurp
>some people in the US

There's your problem...

>>11343719
There's a short summer jacket type worn by the BW Navy. Other than that, I can't really think of any navy surp. The Duth have a heavy navy parka as well but that's it.

>>11343844
Wouldnt Nazi gear get you mocked in any place in the world in public?

>>11341165
you didn't lie though, you couldn't have started simpler than that

Here's my Belgian paratrooper jacket since you boys like fleck.

>>11343905
This image probably shows it clearer, it has a unique rusty and blueish colour scheme to the usual.

>>11341197
lol Supreme did this exact coat with a big patch on the back

also people collect camos I saw somewhere?
like some patterns are rare and stuff?

>>11343913
>like some patterns are rare and stuff?
Yup

>>11343919
can you elaborate?

why or how are some rare, any picture examples?

>>11343930
Well usually rare types of camoflage come from obscure periods in human history or are from remote countries. For example rhodie camo from the bush war tends to go for allot. It's usually determined on how hard it is to get your hands on. So shit like fleck and multicam have no rarity what so ever.

>>11343963
interesting, the site you linked is really cool, thank you!

definitely bookmarking it, loads of inspo for some art projects!

>>11343990

you're so nice
i really like that you're here and posting and contributing

+1 anon

>>11343990
Glad to have been some help to you anon.

>>11343784
W2c pls?

>>11344005
>>11344015
also, not exactly camo but here's one of my jackets.
I got it at a gunshow, the seller said some vet sold it to him off his back for a quick buck.
either Korean or Vietnam vet, forget which.
quality is crazy, coat is super heavy and tough materials. can only imagine where the stains and smudges are from.

compared to a 20$ german milsurp coat I got at the same show, this blows it out of the water. 20$ coat is my backup I keep in my trunk.

>>11344056
SHIT ANON DONT YOU NOW THATS A 2000 DOLLAR JACKET?

>>11341934
id on jacket/pants?

>>11341241
>>11341317
You sound like the insecure bougie tards who repeat the "all modern art is trash and an upper class scam only I see through" mantra.

the pieces aren't just programmatically dyed, they're done selectively (i.e. shibori pattern on the poncho) and I imagine by hand. They also use extremely high quality dye, and the majority of their pieces aren't actually easily sourced, like the swiss & japanese "workwear pants" (if anyone knows where to find those, I'd be grateful).

yes, there's the conceptual element also - but it does push an interesting question. at what point does it "count"? when they edit the existing garment with thread and not simply dye?
or do they need to reconstruct it?

or should they take it apart and use it for a pattern to produce copies of with their own fabrics? or do they have to backwards design it entirely?

until what point will it 'count' as the limited product of a designer's hand, to be released and price according to the market? pricing is almost never handled by the designer, fyi.

>>11344056
dude, it's a vietnam jacket, nothing special but it is hella nice. goes good with a lot of fits

>>11343905
It's airforce, not paratrooper.

my gorka

>>11344056
Korean war vet. The M65 has a hood zipped into the collar

>>11341205
Holy shit how to cop

>>11343784
Also interested in answer to this. I can wear both small and medium depending on brand etc. Unsure if small will be too tight or if medium will look stupid. Anyone with fit pics?

Should I cop? Its illegal to own surplus military here for some reason, and since i'm in a third world country my only option is zara.

>>11345817
Пoшeл нaхyй.

>>11346507
The one one the left looks good, however I've not seen it in person. The one of the right is trash in real, would not recommend.

>>11346605
Yeah the right one has a really ropey, hemp like material to it. The one on the left is more like canvas.

>>11346466
This. I considered copping a while ago but I would at least like some fit pics

>>11346507
You might better off just getting a miltec/rothco unissued BDU then. price/quality wise you'll be better off than zara (read: quailty will still be shifty but at least you won't be paying high street prices).

>>11346662
Maybe, I know this store where i get my combat shirts from, but I dont know if they sell older styled BDUs and I havent been there in a while

>>11346662
w2c that ships to eu/uk

>>11346667
Rothco, miltec and probably several other brands still pump them out in olive, black and woodland. Mainly because it's a simple design. You'll find them somewhere in unissued repro version.

>>11346686
>https://www.asmc.de/Bekleidung/Militaer/Bekleidung/Feldjacken/BDU-Feldjacke-Style-daenischtarn-p.html
Has several colourways and flatrate shipping.

>https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/teesar-bdu-jacket-ripstop-olive-drab/326?q=bdu
Another option.

>>11346686

>https://www.asmc.de/Bekleidung/Militaer/Bekleidung/Feldjacken/BDU-Feldjacke-Style-oliv-washed-p.html
I own this exact one and I can recommend it. The fabric's already broken in (via being washed) and the fit is fairly decent (not too baggy like regualr milsurp). Better quality then anything h&m/zara as well.

>>11343588
>hitler dubs checked
Keepshooting.com has them in stock sometimes, as for patches, I don't know.

>>11343602
What are you looking for?

>>11345893
Korean desert camo, search on ebay. It was only $35 shipped but I got a good deal.

>>11346507
That jacket on the right is probably the gayest M65-style jacket I've ever seen.

>>11343784
Those fit really tight, like a body glove.

Here's what I've got coming in the next week or two.

>>11347397
All great, top left is amazing.

>>11347397
where'd you get top right, or anything norway in general?

>>11347913

>>11347397
Thanks, I'm pretty excited

can anyone recommend a surplus jacket warm enough for Canadian winters?

I'd like to get something a little more interesting than the regular parkas that everyone in Montreal wears.

>>11347986
N3B dude

>>11347986
anything russian, russian winter is basically canadian winter

>>11346662
can "military shirts" be worn like jackets? im just getting into military surplus

>>11348500
the line between "shirt" and "jacket" is pretty blurred since the term "coat" is never really used apart from greatcoats and the like.

>>11343888
I would imagine anything without insignia and not part of the standard feldgrau set would be fine

>>11348547
Not my style, but If you want to get away with nazi-esque stuff just get an East German dress uniform. They're also stupid cheap.

>>11341193
What is this camo called?

>>11348801
Swedish M90.

Here's my favourite Surplus jacket, East German Rain Camo.

As cool as it looks the build quality is atrocious, uneven stitches all over that are barely holding the thing together. But hey, that's communist industry for you

cop or nah?

Swiss Work Jacket
Cold War era
comes in three pack so i have extra for some reason

>>11349201

Mexico?

So where did the flecktarn trend start? Did alice glass wear or some such shit like that? I mean, it used to be total bargain-bin trash

>>11349207

I live in California, where it's too hot to dress in a milsurp jacket.

How else can I get the N̶e̶o̶-̶N̶a̶z̶i̶ milsurp look?

>>11352599
Roll up the sleeves on your flecktarn bro.

Can you compete?

>>11353046
Fuck off, OiOi

>>11349201
cop and chop off the epaulettes

has anybody got any experience dying camo pattern a darker color? I've got a pair of pants of the same model as pic rel but in a lighter duck camo. I want to dye them dark brown or maybe deep blue or something. what would you recommend? They're 100% cotton.

>>11353068
>chop off the epaulettes
Anyone who suggests this is autistic

>>11341228
wanna buy this from you

>>11353072
why? genuinely curious

>>11353120
Because there's no reason to cut them off, especially if you're going for a military vibe, cutting them off is basically lying to yourself and trying too hard to have your outfit mesh more with the mainstream

>>11353123
well I'm not going to use them to fold my berret away or show my stripes either, so why keep em" I'm not interested in cosplaying and think the cut and fit of milsurp clothing is enough to make an interesting outfit.
chill out

>>11353171
you asked....

>>11353046
cutting out your face is not going to change how shit that outfit is
