When we were kids my dad used to buy all our clothes at Army and Navy surplus stores .
I got really pissed off going to school everyday dressed like a Japanese admiral .
LOL
Could have been worse, might have been a surplus Kamikaze pilot overalls !
Hahaha!!!! Oh daaaam. Snap!! Hahahaha. I know that feeling. I was dressed like Pancho Villa. I had plastic rounds, someones old hat. Yup, I had some shoes but my dad made me shoe polish them when they were dirty. Hahahahaha!! I read your comment....started lol I fell off my chair. Sh it it brought back a f memory. My sis was dressed👗 a lil bit more like a air force instructor. Shoes and hair dew.

dungspreader lol
I used to spend a fortune on hiking and camping gear until I started buying army surplus.
Hi Paul! The green jacket with the silver stripe down the sleeve is German police. They look so cool riding their motorcycles (white back in the 80's) in a motorcade. I was at Bitburg AB when President Reagan visited us with the German Chancellor. I wish I knew about this store when I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk. I love your country and its people. Great video!
Wow, my eyes is glowing to see all stuff! Nice shop.
I'm sure Dave would look absolutely smashing in those shorts and that shirt
Every small town used to have an army surplus shop, ours did, and I remember buying a USA pack, which were rejects for 50 p, this was back in the mid 70,s, I used it through school, and then a fishing bag/ work bag. I’m sure I’ve got it in the attic !
I’ve bought numerous bags in shops, Internet etc , lucky to last 12 months wear. So I’m back to army surplus, and have a french F2 backpack , and a Czech bread bag, altogether costing less than an ordinary shop bought bag!
That is amazing. Probably the best stocked army surplus store I have ever seen.
Wow !
Didn’t think these shops still existed and this one is a monster.
Their prices look very reasonable and the garments appear to be in excellent condition.
This is a place I need to visit!
Just googled it. Permamently closed. Would have loved to have visited this too!
@@jonfisher9214 what about ranger in surbiton
It would've been nice to visit there during my trip to Oxford next month... :(
Been buying stuff from them for the last few years on ebay, I've never seen anywhere else cheaper for a load of their stock. Yeah a lot is used surplus but I've had countless bits of unissued gear from them too.
Yes Ebay is a good place to find their stuff. I have bought gas cartridges from them on Ebay, cheapest on the net they were.
Northern Michigan here. Love looking at the cooking things. Pretty cool!
Nice thanks for sharing
I always loved an army surplus shop and over the years i must have spent a fortune, but the clobber was always great quality, that lasted ages. For twenty years i ran a small gardening/landscaping business and the army gear was the best.
Just started a dog walking business. Looks the place for some winter gear.
Great store, I wish we had something like that over here in Sweden. Fun to hear you discussing the Swedish stoves. All the surplus stores closed down, there's only one left. They're great, but the actual store is tiny and mostly online.
Same here in the UK. Most towns had a store, not many left now.
Buffalo jacket is awesome good video 👍
In the fifties and sixties US combat jackets for work… genuine Erwin flying jackets to keep warm in the winter and Parker’s….(modes). were very common buys, also gun barrel cases, sheath knives etc, a treasure trove of some really good gear.
Shame it's closed down now
This store is one of THE best military surplus stores I have seen and I, being retired military, have shopped in them around the world. Amazing store! I loved the woodland camo backpack you handled that was 50 quid. That would make a great bushcraft pack with some minor conversions or additions, eg an axe sleeve.
Thank you for your service
The extra details on Dave's choice of undergarments was highly amusing!
Fpmsl at daves vest n shorts lol a tel ya what ad go in there with a grand n come out in debt hahahaha wish we had stores that big with xxl sizes up here .what a great n different video a enjoyed that atb pal
LOL Dave hasn't really got any of them vests and shorts. It's the best surplus shop near us.
910th like! Thanks for the tour. Good stuff!
Nice Video..the Police Uniforms are German by the Way, from Nordrein Westfalen and Bundesgrenzschutz wich is now Bundespolizei
Cool ;)
Thats a treasure trove of goodies, Good amount of Flecktarn Trousers aswell, Just found the ebay so Im on the hunt for some good stuff. Cheers Paul
Get some new clobber for the new year ;)
wow what a great shop, love the shop vids 👍
Cheers Owen
Darlington Street Wigan was good in Late 50's early 60's. I used to buy RAF side hats for 6p each and sell them at school in Culcheth for half a crown. = 2/6p.
Para smocks, marine white helmets, web belts with holsters for our Air pistols. Best of all Air force sheep skin and leather bomber command flying jackets when we were old enough for motorbikes.
Oh and those USA navy "reefers" jackets I think they were less than £5.
Only minutes in & I’m droooooling
Good prices on those gtx jackets. Water resistant clothing prices have gotten ridiculous outside of the surplus market. Even here in the US our ecwcs gtx jackets are over $100 used and you can really only find them on ebay unless you actually live by a decent surplus store, which I do not. Most surplus stores just carry junk. 20 years ago when my grandpa was still alive (vietnam veteran) he used to take me to a surplus store in the ghetto of South Dallas that was kind of cool but it's probably out of business now or just selling work boots and old mess kits like all the defunct army navy stores around here are now
Polizei... Italian? Seriously? After that I have to admit I took everything else said with a huge grain of salt. Polizei is police in German. Still, great shop.
Would love to see you doing more surplus store videos around the country.
Hi just come across your video and was wondering if there's any major warehouses in the UK that sells mainly for the US stuff alpha Industries etc
I would subscribe but you have exactly 7.62 subs and I don't want to ruin it.
Nice one Paul, I love a surplus shop, I could of watched another 30 mins... you missed loads of stuff :-( can you go back and film that white arctic coat on the first wall LOL. It was very enjoyable mate. Cheers, Lee
It's a great shop Lee ;)
Haha you should buy a crap ton of those jerry cans.
Go to Malvern chap. It's absolutely fantastic. Even has a ww2 Russian tank .
4:33 John Cleese???? Our "Surplus" store had lots of worn out clothing at top prices. Gone 15 years.
Great video and great channel. Subscribing!
Thanks
Wow, how much have the Swedish mess kits gone up in price in just 5 years😮
When I was in the UK I got to go to a surplus store
Just wished I had more time to visit them.
Live 10 minutes from that shop and it’s good if you want Camo but bad if your looking for plate carriers helmets gasmasks and useful kit.
nice store or shop nicely displayed gear. thanks
I wish we still had some decent surplus stores in America but all the ones where I live just sell overpriced junk, fake mres, and mess kits
Man,this place has the British Helmets.I wanted to see more of the Boots worn by the British soldiers.
hello
I now live in Sweden and have no real Military surplus shops where I live. I loved the army and navy in Chapel Market in Islington. I used to go to school dressed like a WWII general or Tommy Atkins 😂
The good old days ;)
How to order online and what is the website?
It's closed down. 🇬🇧👍
Other than the Bear on top of the mannequins head. It looks the same as a store in the USA, Well we have guns is ours.
Hadn't heard of this place. Will be visiting.
Thanks for the post
I bought a few things from there, great shop. I'll be buying more stuff from there soon. Oh watch out for the toll bridge near there though lol.
I laughed so hard when i found the toll bridge :)
I didn't have any cash either lol.
A lot bigger than the nearest surplus store to me will have to check it out this ks for sharing mate! 👍
Take care
Roo
They are closing down! Go now whilst you can!!
I am 63 and remember the good old Army and Navy stores, you’d get some real bargains.
ALL that video and you didn't put you're hand in your pocket to give something back to the shop..... Tight as a Nuns...
Enjoyed the video though, cheers bud 🙌🏻
Superb Paul. Next time I am passing through Oxford I will call in for a mooch. Thank you for sharing. Paul :)
Well worth a look around if you get a spare 3 hours LOL.
Well worth a look around if you get a spare 3 hours LOL.
Paul Bisseker Bushcraft haha...these things take time :)
It's in Eyeham btw
Maybe in the future when the military switches to new gears and uniform, we’ll be able to get new old stuff from the military
We do lol. All the British MTP kit is still issued gear and you can buy it all.
thats my nephew serving
Nice look at an army disposal store in UK.
POLIZEI is German...
I should have know i saw them in Hamburg when i was there in 2001
Really? I always thought it was Italian.
Would love a DPM wet weather coat and pants.
In the United States we have Tractor Supply store...a place that specializes in stuff used for ranchers and farmers...lots of stuff that you can use for camping. Might be a thing to see if there's an equivalent type store on your side of the pond.
😜
Man I wish our military surplus stores here in USA had all that stuff in good shape.
Paul hi there. How do I pop you an email thanks?
I'm pretty sure it's illegal to sell used German Police jackets with the original POLIZEI of Lower Saxony badge on it 😂
Hi paul, this shop have a online store? The stuff is pretty cool.
Yes they have, the link is in the description.
Paul Bisseker Bushcraft unfortunately this shop do not ship to Malaysia.Btw thanks for the info paul.
The Green Police coat is a Older german version
I had a good friend who got sick and had to go into a nursing home. It was really sad. He gave me his stainless Swedish mess kit with the burner & windscreen. I had no clue as to what an alcohol stove was so I turned to TH-cam & found Hiram Cook. The rest is history. Probably one of the best cook sets made.
Very very rare now. I have the aluminum set. I will use it soon in a video 👍 Hiram did so many tests 😎
Me encanta todo lo referente a uniformes militares. En especial los del ejército británico, estadounidense, ....
nice shop. Cheers.
Kitty.
Amazing place!! :)
Subbed mate 👌
Thanks Dave, i appreciate it ;)
Im going there soon to get stuff for my role play and army cadets
Paul have u tried the titanium bush box xl
No i don't have one of those.
Do people actually buy this shit? after 22 years in the Army the last thing I'd want to do is wear this crap. The military are always behind in developing equipment and better stuff is always out when this is issued. If you want quality then go to any climbing outdoor shop and it will be better. Or if you want to be a walt, then this is paradise.
Clothing that will take some knocks and rips in the woods. I wouldn't pay good money in a climbing shop to go out and tear a sleeve on branches and brambles while trampling through undergrowth. Its cheap and dirty
Guess it's like a tescos employee buying their own uniforms. On the other hand each to their own right?
What a fantastic shop, will definitely be paying a visit, probably spend the whole day there, heaven.
incredible how the You Tube "app" decided to put this on my home page
WS was a vital place for "stuff" when I lived up there in the 1980's when it was actually "in" Oxford, not "out of town" as it is now
sadly some 40 years later army "surplus" stores no longer sell quality army "surplus", instead they mostly sell new made in the far east knock offs. As this video shows, WS is no different.
Looks like a great store and will pop in to see for myself. What you should have done is grabbed on of the shop staff to take you aroundnthey could then describe to you what they have.
The very company who used to be in George street who sold the computer to a student from one of Britain's finest spy services and forgot to wipe the drive.
Just subscribed. I'm from America, And I don't see much British Military stuff. Glad to stumble across this channel. :)
Thanks ;)
What does your ammo boxes cost twenty millimeter
I don't know. Sorry
@@PaulBissekerBushcraft What does a military poncho run in Price
Awsome store!
Paul, I write this without criticism and with one love. Stop trying to put down your mate . Have a look at yourself and be kind. Life is then better for everyone.
Looks wicked. Have to swing by sometime.
I heard they were closing but don't know when
why no show helmets?
Cheers bushcraft survivalist
Had a shop in Oldham 'Williamson's' sadly now no longer attracted folk from all over

I didn't see the video I got fed up with the adverts before the video even started.
Hi where is the shop ?. Has I’m interested in buying lots of things .
It moved. I'm not sure if it exists now with all the problems over the last few years.
@@PaulBissekerBushcraft is it only online now ?. Would of loved to go in and see everything. Thank you for doing the TH-cam video
Hi
I LOVE these shops. Wish I had money for a shopping spree. Loved Oxford, love the window shopping. A great little postcard shop there, a great china tea cups place. Never got to go to my step bro's old house (a centuries old pig farm) in Horton cum Studley. He was stationed at Hayford, I think it was near Upper, Lower and Neither Hayford.
When he was there my step step nice got to meet the Queen. It was her Silver Jubilee and she stopped at the Nursery where she was. The Queen gave the kids commemorative coins. My niece was like 4 and doesn't really remember it, but still has the coin.
These old thin British army bodywarmers are good: l got 8 of them at a fiver each from a surplus store 20 years ago. I have had one shortened, and l wear it under an oversized denim jacket. The full lengh ones are ideal for wearing under coats, kagools, and jackets for extra warmth, both civi, and military items. The problem today is: they make coats in shops so tight fitting around the arms......that you cannot layer up with a bodywarmer, wheras surplus clothing has plenty of room for layering. I tend to wear stuff out of surplus stores, and vintage stores to. Jeans in particular, are crap compared to the one,s l remember in the 60s and 70s. I find the Austrian M65s tend to be very robust, wheras some of the US M65s tend to be raggy, and the press studs on them are normally broke. Wheras the presstuds on the German items are really robust. Also a lot of it is replica, made in China.
Hey, i checkd the online shop but it is almost empety. have the shop closed down?
I will give them a call later to see.
They are still open and trading
VIKING_of_DOOM they don’t update the website really shop is full tho
Jacket... Polizei... must be italian... yeah Those Hamburg Carabinieri dress fashionably...
Good video.
Thanks for letting me visit this interesting place. Without your camera I wouldn't have a chance!
thanks for the link buddy
Not bad, could hv use better lighting n more explanation on more items..
Good store, not too big but good selection, very organise..
I'm wanting to get the price on the sleeping bag water proof back .Ah you never said.
I’m sure this place used to be in the middle of Oxford, my Dad’s from there and when we were kids we used to spend hours in there.
Any idea where to get bigger sized clothing pal?
I use Ebay or Surplus. We got a new Decathlon store, they go up to 4XL
Paul Bisseker Bushcraft cheers pal. Looked a gd store tho
