“Yeah grab one for me, please.”
Andy & Bax was always a wonderland to me when my dad took me there growing up. Also a fun place to take a date or a good friend and wander around
I’m definitely a military freak too, I live in Paris, recently found some lovely second hand Alpha bits, always makes me happy, and I dream of going to these shops you show us !
Man, i love Portland. My pops took me here a few times as a kid. This place was almost magical when i was young. I still have a backpack and duffle bag from there that's taken me to Guatemala and back & all over.
My only issue with this is Andy and Bax is the ONLY military surplus store left in the Portland area. There used to be two others, one by Mt. Scott on 82nd Avenue and another in Damascus that used to have an old Huey helicopter that had been shot down at some point in time. (There were bullet holes near the tail rotor.) My fear, considering they are a cherished childhood memory of mine, is them someday going out of business due to the gentrification of this city. So many of my favorite childhood place have disappeared as Portland has become such a popular destination for people to move to. If you come to Portland, PLEASE support Andy & Bax.
Are you talking about alleycat surplus? Cause if you are, they are still in businesses, and I love them
@@theletterm207: They’re still there? The last time I was by there, and that was YEARS ago, I was under the impression they had closed shop. If they are open that’s definitely good news because I preferred them over A&B.
There's also a surplus store in Aloha
The one right outside of Boring is still there.
Is that the one with the shot up Huey helicopter in the parking lot?
The way his friend said yes I’ll take it looked so fake 😭😭😭😭😭
agreed
They cut out some shit
If he knows his size, yup.
Stage fright maybe
One of my favorite videos. To be honest, this video inspired me to collect fishtails here in Mexico City. We need more surplus store videos!!!
I have been shopping at Andy & Bax for years. Love the store so much; I would buy it as well!
Alpha industries is the supreme of the military world.
lol someones never seen the arc'teryx military stuff
Bullshit, Supreme is pathetic
All the companies contracted by the government had to make to the military specifications demanded by the government, so all mil spec' garments should be equally good depending on availability of fabrics etc..
Nah, crye precision, Jesus bless you
personally i dont bother with alpha industries, they deviate from the original design, the pockets of there m65 jacket are smaller than the ones they made for the military, just at a glance you can tell this.
I thought the title said Poland. I was all excited to see a Polish army navy store. Darn
Swiss navy!!!
Portland sure as hell ain't Poland.
Pdx is Soyboy land
That would have been dope Poland got some nice military pieces
Same
Wow 1974 vintage if that's vintage I must be prehistoric at my age 😂😂
I’m from Portland, worked at Woodcrafters down the block from this place for a couple years. Serving in the USAF now, sure the city will be even more packed once I’m back. Cool to see PDX get some recognition though
Way cool, I grew up going thru places like this. Have some amazing stories and memories
I've always loved both the n 3b parka and the fish tail parka...so very awesome and super warm.
Haha, when you said Portland's fav Army/Navy, my first thought of my favorite store Andy & Bax. Growing up in Oregon city, got a Army helmet liner so I could pass my mother's helmet law before helmet laws!
More videos like this please. Big ups.
Morty Irie
Thanks for the video I’m customizing one of my alphas and that jacket helps a lot where patches need to be
Awesome vid!! Love the history!
The fit is not "over-sized" it's an arctic parka, you need those air pockets to trap in the heat. I spent three years in Ft. Wainwright, you don't fuck around with the cold.
Great military shop, true paradise👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Loved this store as a teenager, Bought a few pairs of them 13 button black wool navy pants
Love my alpha snorkel parka. I'm getting the long one in green next.
My god I’m so glad I bought one from alpha yesterday, I didn’t even knew the brand and now such a surprise
You have the give the military a lot of credit for creating many pieces that became staples in the fashion world.
A have an olive drab CWU 45 P bomber jacket with the removable velcro patch. Paired with a hooded sweatshirt, it keeps me quite warm.
May 28.. my bday, what a great jacket 🔥
I've got an Alpha CWU-45 in my closet right now. I wear it for spring and fall.
I hope u mention the price of each jacket...
Copped one of those Alpha industries MA1 bomberjack jackets for 39 recently in the sage green
Awesome vid, I love that store!
Philip Boisselle what’s it called?
Yeah, grab one for me, please.
I miss the old days when they had lots of military radios and related stuff ... oh well, I live in the past I guess. :)
Ayyy. Portland represent
Jose Paniagua lol now more fuckers are gunna move here
Jose Paniagua Portland is only cool to people from Portland lol it's like SF. If you're not from there, everyone else is laughing at y'all. Even the rest of ur own state

It's nice tosee a tv personality that knows what he taliking about

Awesome store 👍🏻
Awesome
How beautiful are the alpha jackets, I dream of a ma1 / cw45p, m / 65 ... they are very beautiful
Nice Jackets! 🔥
I have a M51 and M65 Parka M51 being my favored nearly 60 years old still looks good and it's still worn by me, worth some money too
Robert Hargrave I have a M65 Parka, added a M51 hood. This way I get the real fur and not that horrible synthetic stuff.
I mean it’s a great place for everything I’ve seen desert storm gear Cold War and so much more my favorite parts have to be the gas masks (but that’s just me) I got my favorite mask the SM-40 it was a good purchase and that put Andy and bax as my favorite surplus store in Oregon
Andy & Bax closed last month. R.I.P. to one of the best shops in PDX
Damn I go here all the time but haven’t really looked around like this. Gonna go spend some more time there tmro before work. Everything I have gotten from there has been awesome though
Nice items in the store.
I live in PDX and that is a great store,.
Nice great shop
GREETINGS FROM MAASTRICHT THE NEDERLANDS
Cool programme, I'm a cold war surplus collector, love all about the patterns etc, interesting dude running the shop,really genuine.
Nice work
Hi there,
I have a US Army 50's Koreans War Officer's Trench Coat and two US Army Coat Parkha with inner lining - all in good condition. These are up for sale...
Shiit I had to go to Andy and Bax to buy black military boots when I joined the Young Marines brings back memories man
Keep doing these!
Had a store like that an hour from my house. Was in business for 30 years. Went out of business. None nearby now.
Show more of the boots, slim jackets and t-shirts!
I have two original navy pea coats both actually been underway on board ship with me.
I threw one of those parkas away with multiple liners. It sucked in the snow because it was absorbent.
Love this store. Been in many times.
I wore a lot of camo in high school.
Hi
@@rayankharl4319 what's up
when are you gonna hit the grid fleeces and the patagonia made stuff??
What a beautiful video i loved it i been looking for green field jacket please help me where the best place to buy it Thank you very much please advise me in dataile
I had a shorty parka while I was in the Airforce. Wished I had kept that puppy.
Soon we will see super cool military issued Space Force jackets in these stores.
Woow Iam love This Armysuper jacka
Nice video, what is the jacket you are wearing at the Beginning of the video? Is that also an alpha industry jacket ?
Bits of the music sounded like the minecraft theme and I just couldn’t get it out of my head 😂
Could you show us some of the leather jackets in this store? Also very cool store!
Cool I live in portland, Also a store I recommend Aloha surplus It's In beaverton Tualatin valley. It's a really great has a lot of cool vintage stuff. Andy and bax is cool but risky. Because it's in downtown portland and at the time im posting this there is really bad riots/protests in downtown portland so aloha surplus is kinda the way to go at this time but when riots and protesting is over andy and bax is a great store
I enjoy Andy and Bax. Unfortunately it's been years since I've seen a real army surplus. Sgt Gators was a good one. Anyone else notice ammo cans being sold at costco and Walmart? I don't know if Andy and Bax even sells those anymore.
Do they have any shearling jackets in there?
they should try to bring back the
L B-2' flight jacket and the late 80's M-90' jacket ( the M-65' short )
Beautiful bomber cw45 jacket USAF and M 65 Army jacket ,how much cost ,thanks for posting . (RCAF)
Bomber is amazing for war and for style
I have a genuine alpha jacket, it's a newer one that's got velcro, a family friend transferred to a different base and he got a new one so I got it.
The old one of course
Background score? What's the name of that track
beautifull
What is the price level in those surplus stores? For example what would I need to pay for such a fishtail parka?
Love My A-2, G-1 & MA-1 Jackets, Very Chic. (smile)
Give me a nice N-1 flight deck jacket from Spiewak (Golden Fleece) and I'll never be cold again. They're made in the U.S.A., too! They're O.D. with heavy duty zip w/button over flap. They're fleece lined in the body and have an inner sleeve that grips your wrist to keep wind out when you're on your cycle. Made from HEAVY duk canvass that's treated to be water proof. I've ridden many a cold mile wearing one of these and they're PERFECT! They'll last you 20 plus years. They aren't cheap nor should they be. If you want to see them in action look at any movie about aircraft carriers and you'll see the sailors on the deck wearing them. These are just great jackets. Don't buy an imitation, either. About $150.
From what Track/ Interpreter is that sample at the Start of the Video?
Andy and Bax is closed, permanently. The only surplus stores left are in Damascus and Aloha. Suburbs of Portland.
Question do they come in xxl for the big boys?
That guy loves his job
I know the rap version of the intro song is ruff rugged and raw by pmd ft das efx.
Try a British middle parka from the 50's, my favourite
At 4:34 they used a remixed sample from minecraft
I thought I was the only person to notice
Clapped by ya Nan I knew I wasn’t the only one 😂
Same lol 😆
This is my hometown toy store. You can spend hours in here looking around
4:38 were those Corcoran boots?
I have my cousins cold weather coat and full snow suit...too bad he was the size of a 12 year old in the early 70s when he was in the air force in alaska
Now, I want one.
how much is like one of those normal jackets?
Now get a Bell & Ross MA-1 watch matching the jacket :-)
Its so weird seeing Andy and Bax like a high fashion store.
What is the name of the beat, it's amazing
What is the shirt the guy in the cap is wearing ?
GREAT STORE'
do you have alpha cwu 45/p nomex?
Anybody know what he's wearing. I've been looking for awhile just never knew the name.
Strategic Air Command and the FB-111. I'll take that off your hands.
I bought 13 of those jackets. I had giant rainbow patches sewn on the backs. I gave them away at the gay pride parades. They loved them.
id buy that 74' jacket man
This pilot jacket real American made?
Can't believe that jacket is my birth date. Would love that!
that shit so fire holy fuck
I'm from Portland, OR. I absolutely love it out here. Best place in the World to live. We accept all kinds over here.
Bought some wool Swiss army pants there and a ww2 German backpack there
