MILITARY CLOTHING

From the U.S. Navy stock of unused Gob hats (no, we don’t know where that name comes from) or more familiarly “dixie cups,” in white cotton twill. We’ll pick from sizes 7 through 8-1/2 if you’re going for the Cracker Jack look, but if you turn the sides down like Gilligan, one size fits every noggin. Upright, it should be squared up for authenticity. Group discount available for drama teachers staging South Pacific.

That’s where these military overseas caps started out, on Deutsch köpfe. Slightly shorter than the U.S. garrison cap, and with a jaunty curve, front to back, they’re in dark blue-gray with orange piping and a German army insignia on the front. We’ll pick a pair in (2) different sizes 58-63, which is approx 7-1/4 to 7-7/8 on American heads, but the envelope design gives them some size leeway.

It's a mosquito hat for you, not a hat for a mosquito. Those are too small to stock. This is a Vietnam-era design olive-drab floppy hat with an integrated nylon mosquito net and a pair of lightweight spring-steel hoops to keep the net off your face. Measures 12" dia at the widest and is 15" long with a cord to tighten it below your chin. Unused surplus. It's never seen a mosquito.

With Austrian troops climbing ev'ry mountain and wearing these fatigue caps. In dark olive drab, with little vent holes and that Austrian army target-like red and white circle logo on the peak. Pre-worn in Austria for your convenience. In Euro size 54/55, which is US small, 6-3/4 to 6-7/8.

Survival bracelets, actually. These are braided paracord, and quite attractive, but unbraid them and you’ve got (7) feet of military grade (per the mfr) paracord with a safe working load of 100 lbs and a max working load of 550 lbs. Bracelet closes with black snap closures. Mildew and abrasion resistant. In black, royal blue, red, purple-ish gray with black edges, and camo. We’ll pick, but order two or more and we’ll try to send different colors.

Peace, brothers and sisters. If you’re on the peace train, you might like this sky blue 100% woolen beret from the United Nations, just like the UN peacekeepers wear. Inside, the label says “United Nations Property,” which will cease to be true when it’s your property. Assorted sizes from M to 2x, 7 to 7-3/4. 

We cannot guarantee a size but you can request a size by replying to your confirmation email. Please give us a few options. See image 2 for approx. size chart. If we cannot find your size we will send the closest size. Due to the nature of the product, we cannot accept returns at this time. 

One thing we know for sure about this olive drab belt with a gunmetal gray molle buckle: it was made in China. We think it might be genuine military surplus, and where better for the Chinese military to make their stuff than in China? But we can’t be 100-percent positive it was made for soldiers. It sure looks and feels “military” to us. Has a nice commie star on the buckle, along with a symbol that looks Chinese enough to be Chinese. Expands to fit a 48” waist, and is 2” wide. We’ve seen them called “Chinese Pistol Belts,” but whatever they are, they’re awfully attractive. Ours have a little wear, as if they’ve been sitting in a wet Chinese warehouse, and you may see some corrosion on the eyelets, but we promise, they’re new.
