Every item that enters our warehouse is inspected, sorted, sized, and graded by hand. This gives you a consistent, reliable standard—no guesswork, no surprises.

Look out for these grades on our product pages:

Supergrade / Unissued

These items are brand new and unworn, often genuine military issue that has simply been in storage.

  • Very minor storage marks due to age (some stock is 20+ years old)
  • No signs of wear, repairs, or field use

Grade 1 / Good Condition

Grade 1 items are excellent used surplus.

  • Light signs of previous use
  • May have small professional repairs or minor storage marks
  • Fully functional and clean—often improves with a wash

Grade 2 / Distressed

These items show clear signs of wear but remain fully functional.

  • Fading or heavy wear
  • Marks or stains
  • Minor damage such as missing pocket zips or frayed edges
  • Main closures and core functionality always intact

New Manufacture

These products are not military surplus but civilian-made militaria (e.g., Mil‑Tec).

  • Used to fill gaps where genuine surplus is unavailable
  • Chosen to complement our core surplus range

Provisions

These are brand-new, sealed food items.

  • Clearly labelled to avoid confusion
  • None of our provisions are surplus or previously issued
