We Explore One of Los Angeles’ Best Military Surplus Stores with Alpha Industries 

I love surplus stores. It's like a museum where you can buy the items on display.

hypebeasts are gonna start looking like anti-terrorism units soon

Waiting to see hypebeasts wearing plate carriers and fast helmets anytime soon

In germany a jacket with “polizei“ would get you in trouble for impersonating a police officer lmao

Supreme X army Release date : soon Price starting at :$499

Take a shot every time he calls something dope

So dope, I mean never seen something so dope. It's real dope you turned me on to these dope fashions. Just dope man.

Yeah that Polzei Jacket is super dope

I feel like this video should have more recognition than it does. It's really well produced, it's concise and to the point. I learned a little something and it genuinely made me want to visit one of these surplus stores.

shopping at at the Supply Sergeant has been in my life since 1957 and I love it still

Join the Marine Corps and you'll get two seabags free

Sad to see that these types of stores are a dying breed. I run one that is owned by my stepfather and I hope to keep it going until I'm gone too. The items you can find in these stores are things you may never see again in your lifetime. Some of the things we get mean more to me than anything I own, just for the fact that it was used to keep yours and my freedom.

That was dope, all those dope camo blouses and dope patches. Overall it's a dope store I'm gonna have to visit.

So this is where all those stolen valor people go to shop

A whole store full of military artifacts and we get to see size 56 bdu pants, old sea bags and some German camo jackets... this video was not very dope.

give cookie to whoever edited this/did the soundediting

Surplus stores: Good: You can see how everything looks without fault Bad: The prices are all jacked up WAAAAAY more than online stores

There where even east German NVA Uniforms. Im impressed :D

Of course the hipster goes for vintage denim first..

We need places like this in every single country in every single city and every single town! I love war shops like this!

4:05 as a 5 foot marine. I can say that I’ve been stuffed into one of those bags at least twice.

For real, Props to the filmer and editors.

Gotta love a content creator with no ads at the beginning of the video. No greed just content! Hard to find these type of RU-vidrs today. 👍

I love it how the intro makes it look like it’s in downtown even though it’s in the suburbs 20 mins away from downtown

Love this store in Burbank, CA. Been there many times. Staff is helpful and the prices are very reasonable. They’ll have what you’re looking for.

Man I used to wear vintage military stuff for years now and suddenly everyone is wearing it or clothes inspired by it without even knowing what theyre wearing, kinda sad losing the history of the garnments

My Olive surplus M65 will never get old, I love surplus stuff. Has to be my favorite jacket.

You're too young to remember Pally's War Surplus Store in downtown L.A. in the late 50s to early 60s. It was a real surplus store where you could buy helmets, ammo belts all manner of uniforms and tactical gear. You could get a B-17 gyroscope or a Sperry ball-turret and all manner of aircraft components, literally everything except the weapons. We used to spend hours in this huge store, I mean big! What they call Army Surplus stores today is pretty wimpy by comparison.

I have purchased a very unique and rare item in surplus last week. It was a German WWII Fieldmarshall uniform with its knights cross of the iron cross medal.

i like how he has no clue what he is talking about

Dope editing. I gotta check that place out too

Army Surplus stores have such a distinct smell :) Nice video, liked the soundtrack

Id deff wear that German camo jacket

I wanted to look at every single thing. I just started my flecktarn collection because German stuff is plentiful and cheap and I have to say I love the look and the quality. Well worth it for sure. The cool flecktarn jacket he picked up is only $10 all day and the big super nice parkas if you pay more than $30 you're getting ripped off even though the quality and what you get is worth more. Also the duffel bag the employee said he fit all of his clothes in is no joke for someone looking for an easier way to move clothes or laundry. I have the same one from when I was in the military and I lived entirely out of that bag comfortably for quite some time. It'll fit all your uniforms, every basic necessity you can think of and then a lot more. I love using it for clothes and bedding now though. I think there's a black hole in the bottom of it or something.

The best army surplus I came across was in Japan. They get it from all the military bases and really sort through it. Got me a US Army Camp Jacket. My wife stole it and now it's hers.

weird that you show downtown los angeles, but the place you go isn't in downtown.

This is where I generally go for surplus, preparedness, and emergency gear. They have a good stock and are quite helpful. Good prices.

I need a lot of this stuff for my militia, when the revolution starts.

These videos make me miss my local military surplus store. Been wearing military clothing by choice and even before I knew what it was in my toddler days with the boonie hats thanks to my old man.

I always love going to the surplus shop once in awhile you can get good deals on some tough stuff

I have a war veteran teacher he is the best teacher i have had and probably will have he is very funny i will probably buy him something from there im like about 1 hour away thank you for this video

i love how you pronounced Flecktarn, you did a very VERY good job. almost too good ...

Been to this store in Burbank back in the 90's--GREAT STORE!

These videos are awesome. Really like the host. He’s knowledgable but approachable

3:50 WOW a laundry bag *DOPE* man

I understand the clothes I mean get I wear military winter hats so I don't die without having exposed skin to air after 5 minutes ( it's cold where I'm from) but military ribbons? C'mon, that's too much.

One year I decided to give gifts from a surplus store. Best idea ever.

I bought a Paracord bracelet and a pair of tac gloves from there. I love that place so much and there's a variety of things to look at there.

Dope shit bro pretty dope. Dope ass and dope ass clothes. Pretty dope

Once I get a job after college, I'm going to this store before it disappears. It has always been my dream to have a gas mask since Fallout 2 released. Also a Katana, cause why not? ( it will stay at home of course )

been going to Kauffman's since the mid 70's and alway's gives me a good feel to still see it open and doing business

Ngl I love the stuff they have the patches they have , gas mask army helmets etc I just went to one surplus store about a week ago lol

This was interesting

DOpppppeeeeee bruhhhhh

got a good old British army Saracen armoured car out back always nice to see them

Thanks to RU-vid for suggesting this video, I would like to check this place out some day

Yo I see them WW2 German tunics with the SS cuff titles on em.That has to be repro. That East German Tunic though was tight lookin. Ima scope this place for real when Im in LA in Feb.

How'd we get so many navy seal Ranger battalion MARSOC hypebeasts in this comment section?

I been there many times...best store.. great service

That huge bag at the end works really well as a bench when you fill it all the way up

flecktarn is awesome

4 locations left? They’re going out of business?

More episodes please. I grew up around all that stuff

Ahhh, I found a vintage, black Alpha MA-1 yesterday, in my favourite Paris second hand shop, great condition and 30 euros ! I washed it last night and I’ve been wearing it today

At this point I think my local surplus store hates me 😂 I’m in there quite constantly

Wish they had a surplus store here that sold those ww2 German uniforms. I hate buying online

I’ve been there on each trip to L.A., and it never disappoints.

*single tear* it’s beautiful!

this clown really said " unworn deadstock" LMAO

4:11 did he say ripstock it’s ripstop maggot!

that last open top bag are so handy, i use mine as a gym / bjj bag so easily to stow away a big gi towel and water bottle. will be using it for an upcoming overseas trip.

The bell bottoms are called landlubbers, most comfortable jeans you'll ever have. Coincidentally my division in basic training in the Navy was the last one issued them in August 1999. Miss them...

I have never seen a cop wearing the “legit police jacket“, and im from germany 😂

You just cannot get shops like this in the U.K. I would happily mooch around for an hour buying loads!

Best part about every item they sell is there all very good quality gear, like amazing quality.

Very cool. Wish the video was longer so I could more of what is there. Ex-military and I collect things like that. Again, very cool video.

I wonder if they have anything classic?

yooo I ALWAYS go there. so dope a video was made on it

I grew up in Lakewood Ca. and there was a surplus store Named Dooleys. I have no idea if it is still there, But i will always remember a pair of Levi 501's they had hanging up . I believe they were somewhere around size 80 waist or bigger. But that store and the lot behind it was always just jammed pack full of everything. Its been 33 yrs since i was last there. Hope it still is.

Love the Smell of those Places

Flecktarn, yessss!

I used to wear all of this stuff back in the late 90's when I was a punk rock/hardcore kid. I used to shop at my local surplus store all the time, sadly they closed almost a decade ago. Kids these days are only wearing this because others wear it (hypebeasts) and because it's the trendy thing to do, they're posers just into it because others are doing it. Back then you wore it because you were in the military or were into punk/hardcore punk, and only a select few were into that.

Just to put my insight as someone who recently went all across LA surplus hunting. This store definitely has the widest and nicest collection close to “the surplus store” however stock of old vintage is running thin and is now mainly modern camping gear and newer outdoors stuff. So if you get the chance swing by and buy whatever you can cause eventually this stuff will run out or be left online for inflated prices. Definitely a sick shop especially for old era helmets and gas masks.

I’ve been there, I loved it!

Beat at the beginning,who produced it ?

Is that a wehrmacht jacket at 0:42 I see??

There used to be one of these in Santa Monica I used to go in there after school and be fascinated by everything

So glad I live near a surplus

Hate the word dope, just sounds stupid to me

M65? It’s M81...

amazing pieces

I have been to that place before it is freking awesome

“This is classic” : The Video

All the stolon valor’s come there to get their gear

this series is great

I’ve haven’t been inside of The supply sergeant but, I would love to know what the store looks like on the inside when I come back some day.

"Traditional M65" IT'S M81!!!!

its pretty much like varusteleka, but without all the cynical humor

awesome video, love me some surplus! got my hands on a rare version or prototype Slovakian m65 field jacket the other day. just a shame you cant get across the classic army surplus store smell in this video ;)

You really can't get much better than the cut on a classic field jacket
