Sizing & Condition Guide

Military surplus sizing and condition can vary from standard commercial clothing. Use the information below as a general guide when selecting your size and understanding the condition of an item.

Sizing

Military sizing can differ by branch, manufacturer, garment type, and era.

The measurements below are intended to provide an approximate fit. Actual fit may vary slightly depending on the specific item and individual body proportions.

Sizing Chart

Sizing is approximate and should be used as a general reference only.

If a product listing includes more specific measurements or sizing information, use the information on that product page.

Condition

Military surplus may come from government liquidation, long-term storage, or previous military use. Condition can vary from item to item. We classify products as New, Used, or Damaged to give you a clearer idea of what to expect.

New

Unissued surplus in original condition.

Items may show minor marks from storage or handling but have not been used in the field.

Expect generally clean materials, intact hardware, and full functionality unless otherwise stated.

Used

Military-issued surplus that has previously been used.

Used items may show normal signs of service, including:

  • Fading
  • Scuffs
  • Writing or identification markings
  • Small stains
  • Minor repairs
  • General cosmetic wear

Items are expected to remain functional unless otherwise stated in the product listing.

Damaged

Surplus with noticeable flaws or heavier wear.

Damaged items may include:

  • Broken or damaged hardware
  • Missing components
  • Heavy wear
  • Stains or discoloration
  • Tears or holes
  • Repairs
  • Other functional or cosmetic defects

The exact condition may vary by item. Review the product description and photographs before purchasing.

Important Notes

Surplus items of the same product may vary slightly in:

  • Shade
  • Manufacture date
  • Manufacturer
  • Markings
  • Hardware
  • Wear
  • Previous repairs

These variations are normal with authentic military surplus and may not be considered defects.
