Have been for years. Once you realize lame branded streetwear like Stone Island, Acronym and even mall menswear like Polo is all based on military surplus pieces, but toned down and with a logo on it at a higher price, you can't go back. Surplus has decades of pieces and national styles to choose from and except for a few over priced pieces which were raised by the same streetwear cringelords who try collecting them, it's quite affordable.

Surplus is always best because it's made for the military with military budget, meaning it will be top quality and reliability.
Also the less "tactical" pieces still make for really cool streetwear, I just ordered a US army IPFU jacket which is pretty stylish, and I own two Bundeswehr jackets (people have mistaken this for Kanye West merch because he jacked the logo for his album or something)

Military grade just means it’s produced as cheaply as possible

You’ve never been given government issued stuff.
Military grade is utter dogshit compared to actually high quality items.

It works like this: the military has a very simple minimum requirement list for, let‘s say, boots. As in: made from real leather, water-resistant etc…
They then put out a listing for manufacturers.
Every manufacturer who can meet production numbers can apply.
The manufacturer who can meet those minimum requirements for the cheapest price gets the contract.

You do get better boots than similar priced mall brand ones because the minimum requirements have to be fulfilled. But compare these with actual higher quality boots and you can see they’re pretty shit.

I like my m77 boots and surplus stuff. But it’s far from high quality.

nigga are you retarded.
special forces buy their own gear because actual military issue is pretty dogshit. the gun and ammo and survivability takes up most of the budget. everything else is plastic garbage. not nylon super tactical fabrics, but just polyester bullshit.
hell, most of the military budget just goes to wages, education, weapon platforms, and lobbyism.

The point of milmaxxing is to use things in your clothing record that CIF didn't take back. Things that are fucking great like the wooly pully.

because it's been done to death by the dirty hippies, then again by millenial GWOT bro-vets, and now being double-ironically redone by zoomer twinks who never wielded anything more dangerous than their own dicks.

The real avant-garde is to military-min-max. Actual GI gear is made by the lowest bidder to a loose spec, and it's a lottery whether any one procurement request will actually produce a good item, or a piece of trash. High-speed gear is, at best, made to a high standard for a very specific usecase that you, a civilian, will never encounter in your life. That is if it's not tacticool hypebeast trash for flat range ninjas.

There is, however, a sliver of the market where high-speed meets casual. It's either "covert operations" gear, made to high-speed standards of build quality and capability, but made to look unremarkable and casual; or it's some kind of brand merch like tube scarves or waistbags made by real tactical gear companies with same materials and processes and a large helping of whimsy. The real fashion statement is blending 90% of the first for an understated, functional outfit with 10% of the latter for subtle in-group signaling and\or scaring the hoes, should the need arise.

The one's that I got in my country's army are utter shit, scratchy to the point of being unwearable.

Bro they’re just jackets that look cool and that’s why people have worn them casually for multiple generations. You’re definitely the insufferable sperg nobody talks to at parties

Did your country's army actually fight a war since WW2?
Peacetime milsurp is almost universally ass, the longer since the last war, the more ass it is.

>>18576066
Yeah, that's the problem you're part of, you cretinous waste of dubs: the bomber jackets, M65 parkas and such have been worn to shreds by multiple generations of civilians while actual forces moved on to better, cooler things. There's no "authentic" ones left, and the ones on the market are cheap knockoffs of a hommage to a copy of an ironically repurposed item. How many layers of simulacra is that?

Meanwhile, a somewhat in-shape guy with picrel fit will mog 88% of "military style" posers into oblivion, steal their bitches with his quiet competence aura and get a couple of approving nods from the real (ex-)doorkickets on his way out.

Because they work.
That being said, it doesn't have to be all full synthetic tech fabrics all over. In non-strenuous situations you can get away with denim, flannel and canvas for that workwear touch. Covert action clothing is mostly derivative from workwear anyway.
Maybe you can even wear the ugly semi-wool sweater, as a statement piece :3

I don't MiLiTaRyMaXx because that sounds like incel cringe. I do however have an m65 I wear regularly in the colder months, along with some various telnyashkas, surplus field jackets, various flecktarn items, and some KS mockba sneakers.

Until they don't, then you have to buy a new one. And if you are ever in the unfortunate event of having your clothing catch fire, say goodbye to your skin. Plastic clothes have a use but not as a replacement for normal clothes.

Wash it with vinnegar, m8. Issued woolly pully is fucked like that, but it's not a big deal once you do that. It's guaranteed to be new at the end of your contract because no one will ever let you wear it. The fleece jacket is also like this, but it's ugly.

I wore one of those Austrian surplus jackets and a girl complimented me on it but it turned out she was a huge racist and thought I was "putting the flag out" or some shit, I ended up bailing on her at a restaurant and ghosting her

Lose the cover. Clean your fucking mirror, you sick fuck. Also is that your barracks room? What the absolute fuck?

When you say lose the cover do you mean the black aftereffect covering my face or the jacket? Sorry if that question is dumb, I'm rarted. Also, it's a dorm, and I'm gonna make my jew roommate clean the mirror later because it's his turn.

>>18577053
It looks like ass because I'm a poorfag and the milsurp website I tried ordering a better hat on was broken. It still works, because I don't have another hat and it keeps the sun out of my eyes.
