Army Navy Surplus

by Matt B on October 24th, 2007

Halloween’s coming, and everyone’s got ideas of what they want to dress up as. But you don’t want to get one of those cheesy, plastic-mask, store-bought costumes. If you want to look authentic, it’s time to think outside the box.

If you’re considering an outfit that’s military-related, stop by the Army Navy Surplus Store (on the same block as A La Turka). They have everything. I’m not kidding. I’ve witnessed first-hand the huge selection of genuine U.S. military products. Bags, uniforms, watches, T-shirts, sunglasses, rain gear, helmets, goggles, belts, camping equipment, flight suits, boots, gas masks, jackets, parachutes, Swiss army knives, flags… you name it, they’ve got it. And whether you’re getting costume accessories or gear that’s useful all year long, the friendly staff can help you find what you’re looking for.
