The dress jacket with the back cut out is for taking pictures, they’d drape it on moments before taking pictures making it look as if you were in a uniform. They also cut the back out to bury a soldier in a uniform (of sorts).

@8:30, that backless dress jacket was probably used for “new recruit” photos. In the US, we had a similar thing in BASIC. It was so they could rapidly don and doff the top for quick-change to get thru a whole platoon in short time.

That is some of the best OOS gear I have seen, I would take what you need and make sure people you care about get what they need.

Back in the 80s we swapped out our excellent wool shirts for this acrylic abomination that didn't keep you warm , wet or dry . Wool is way under rated .

The jacket with the back cut out is for recruit ID photos which have to be done first before they are issued kit, they do up the front and the guy just steps into the back, quick photo and "Next Please".

I had a few military duffle bags. Mine were not those kind you zip up. The end opens up, where you put everything in it. There were hole rings on the end with a long narrow ring you put through the hole rings to close it and you clip it with the carabiner clip on the end of the shoulder strap, used to carry the bag over your shoulder. I had a black bag and "army green" bag made of good canvas and another "army green" bag made with this plastic-like material, which can rip much easier than the canvas ones. I still have the black canvas one. I love those bags!

memories, from the corner of mind, OHH Get back memories! Cheers for that, much appreciated! the Mustang orange "poopy suit" is worth what you paid for the whole lot, ha ha ha. The combat scarves and a few other little items, would be nice as well. Thanks again for buying a Denison Grab Box.

I turned in two pairs of newly issued boots that I hadn’t even worn once. The stores guy used a hole punch and punched out a single hole in the top of the tongues on each boot and they were thrown in the surplus bin. So you can sometimes get very lucky with “used” surplus kit.

The navy is changing their combat uniform so that might be why you have so much navy stuff.

The mystery blouse and stretchy pants looked like an army maternity uniform

Thanks for sharing, it's interesting video. Usually you can get Army clothing from Surplus Herby's store. Cheers!

Well at least you got a cardboard box, gotta be worth something eh

“I didn’t even know they still issued these” *cries*

That was entertaining, you are an awesome Canadian!

The navy has Whites dress uniform and black uniform (call salt & pepper). They also have the navy combats uniform for garrison work or at sea made of Nomex. CAF also has pregnant pants and tops for women on their last trimester, that’s why you got those stretchy pants and the weird top.

Oh wow! I wish I could buy a package like this for my store!!! How and where do people find these deals?!?!

Sorry man. That's all pretty much crap

12:05 I think that was a crew suit issued to armoured crews. Difficult to tell from the video, but a flight suit usually has hard plastic pen holders on the sleeve which I couldn't see here. Also, the stretchy pants were indeed maternity wear.

The white pants you pulled out are navy summer dress pants, they replace the black pants worn in the cooler months

The pictures inside and out looked showroom condition. I think it sold for $5000! I can't find it now

There usually are military maternity uniforms seeing you got alot of women's stuff it's not surprising you got a pair of maternity pants

Just found your channel, I go to Durham college and live near oshawa man

So you must not have been in super long, or done any office work with in the CAF ( sometimes to get a promotion you gotta do it) but women in all branches of the CAF could be issued maternity dress, thats where the blouse and strechy pants come from. Its all in the dress regs manual

the stretchy pants and jumper are maternity clothing oh if it's black its navy if its blue it's air force and if it's green light or dark it is army

Those stretchy pants and blouse were issued to pregnant service women. They were dress type.
