My local “Army Navy Surplus” store is full of made in China garbage.

There are few authentic things, but it’s all labelled as legit. Today’s A&N is mostly Rothco outlet crap.

And he charges what a department store would.

I ordered a canteen cover from a "reputable" vendor who claimed it to be military issue, but when it arrived, the Rothco tag gave away the game. I finally did get the real thing, but it was considerably more expensive (and considerably better made).

These days, I couldn't care less if something is military issue or not, and if I were young enough to need more outdoor gear, I wouldn't fool with military issue/mil-spec/mil-type unless there wasn't a better commercial version.

Army Surplus Warehouse in Idaho Falls, Idaho is the best one I’ve been to.
