I just hit an awesome yard sale. The guy has been a reenactor of many eras, has a ton of old military surplus and reproduction stuff. Clothing, equipment etc, all of it for amazing prices, US, German, UK even some Russian and Eastern Block stuff.
Figured I'd share this with all of you. The address is 400 ish Buttonwood Ave, Maple Shade, NJ 08052. There's signs so if you're near you can't easily miss it. Seems like a really nice guy and he's selling this stuff really cheap, less than half you'd pay at an army navy store.
If you can't make it tomorrow, I have his contact information so you may be able to get in touch to buy from him.
Some of the highlights, he has a complete WWI German infantry rig, reproduction, uniform, belt, canteen, cartridge case. There is a British reproduction WWII rig in canvas, ammo pouches, canteen, entrenching tool, bayonett. There is some British camo, lots of US green, He has Russian afghanistan era plain khaki uniforms, some cool Czech camo, plus a bunch of other stuff, and he says he'll have more out tomorrow.
I didn't see anything in the M90 Splinter. He did have quite a bit of foreign stuff including Czech, Russian and UK. He said today that he had more to bring out for tomorrow, so its possible different stuff will be out tomorrow that I didn't see.
For Desert Camo. He had quite a few things in plain khaki, he also had a set of Russian over clothes in a two color desert pattern. He also had a handful of stuff in the night desert camo, including a jacket that was a medium, too small for me. I think there was also a hat in that browns and khakis pattern that I think is Hungarian.
Oh, not to brag but some of the highlights that I walked away with, a gunbelt and holster, leather ammo pouches, a DPM shirt and my favorite find a repro of the shelter half cape worn by the Russians, just like the one's the snipers wear in Enemy at the gates. And he still had lots of other cool stuff. I hope if anyone is in the area they can pop by and check out his stuff.

Yep, that's exactly what I bought. Seems to be very well constructed and the neatness factor for me was too good to pass up. Fantastic price too. Outside of the movies this was the first I'd seen one too, and I love scouring army navy stores. Can't wait for an opportunity to wear it.
I went back yesterday for a second round and ended up with a full set of the night desert camo, jacket ended up fitting after all. Another couple of leather ammo pouches and some canvas straps. I think he will continue to have sales, and I have the sellers contact info for anyone who's interested.
This is the night desert camo. He definitely had another set of pants in this pattern, and he thinks he has another jacket but didn't have it out on Sunday. Both pieces are designed to be worn over other clothes, so they do not have pockets, just slits to access the clothes underneath to get into those pockets. I hope the last statement makes sense.
