Have u tried alcohol-based hand rubs? I use it to polish my model plane canopies.... removes the masking tape glue very well.

beavan SG

how do u store such stuff?

ChineseJunk SG

Mainly in "Toyogo" brand storage boxes bought from Carrefour. I'm not a clothes horse and don't have that many work shirts or pants, so some of it hangs in the wardrobe along with the "normal" clothing.

davechng SG

RSAF technicians coveralls, now a collector's item as it's no longer issued, pilot's flight suit and SOF nomex coveralls. I used the flight suit during OFE.

do you know how i can get a hold of a camo flag of Singapore ?

davechng SG

Wow ! Nice CAdpat! I thought the Canadian got it right.. very good camo for the terrain in Canada!

ACU is only use by the US Army.. Marines use the MARPAT pattern which is totally differnt.

Since the ACU just came out !I would wait a bit for the price to stablaize before plungin in the big bucks.

ACU you can order from a lot of surplus website like www.uscav.com or www.bdu.com

MArines pattern is harder to get becasue the genuine stuff is not sold to the public So! Only get it use from surplus shop near the base!

I know a few surplus shop here in Dallas that carries the Marine MArpat and also the MArine desert MARPAT! they are a little on the pricery end though

Hi,
You should be able to get some from the Army market at Beach Road hawker centre or your local eMart.

ben1406 SG

do you know of any local army stalls that sends stuff overseas ? i'm currently in Canada and i want a camo patch on my uniform ! i got a canadian camo flag on it already.

Spike missile live firing, Exercise Wallaby 2005. One of those rare occasions when I got to use my stuff. Mr. Green

The temperature plunged at night and I regret not packing my padded parkas.

acwire_2125 SG

So you in Guards?

I have one Marpat from A'team. I would say the colour copy is great, but the material is far from good. Any idea where can I get those military gear in Singaproe besides Sheares and A'team?

ChineseJunk SG

Where's A Team?

I get my US uniforms from the States. I get them sent to my friend's office there and have been bringing back stuff in batches.

If you're in Taipei, there're some shops near their Ministry of National Defense that sells ROC uniforms. To my regret, I didn't buy the ROC Marines uniform. *sigh*

acwire_2125 SG

There is one shop in Changi Village near the Bus terminal. The second one is at City hall in Peninsular Plaza. SEcond Level.

BTW, can I wear Camo uniform for hiking in Singapore? Mind you, I am not wearing the Singapoire CAmo pattern.

Any idea where to buy the new US Army ACU Uniforms in Singapore? I was thinking of buying online but if you throw in shipping it'd set you back almost $200 for just the shirt and pants! Example below

LazerLordz SG

Should be fine.

I wear my Aussie Army jungle fleck boonie hat too.

LazerLordz SG

Sheares has the ACU, with the patrol cap and the boonie hat too. But the velcro you might have to customise it.

I would love to get the real ripstop pants for trekking.

p7m13 SG

Wow that's fantastic! Hope it comes with the velcro pads as well so I can stick on my name/rank etc... lol. By the way, how much would it cost for a full set of ACU with the patrol cap? *nervous look*

acwire_2125: I'm sure there's no harm wearing another country's BDU for trekking purposes. Might as well use them instead of keeping them in the cupboard the whole time yeah? But probably wearing them out to Orchard Road would not be such a great idea... hehehe... Very Happy

LazerLordz SG

Nope, no velcro pads. That's self-service for ya.

Full set? Not sure. Patrol cap costs 15 i think.

No one will wear the full BDU man, you don't want to get mistaken for a foreign soldier.

Hi gents,

Since you guys are interested in military uniforms, I have a piece of M65 U.S field jacket to sell. I bought it in U.S in 1990. But I'm giving up this hobby recently after more than 20 years and this is one of the last few item that I couldn't bear to let it go. Sad (BTW, I have finished my NSmen training recently and hope to be 100% civilian from now on). Very Happy

This is a U.S government-issued M65 field jacket and is extremely versatile and is made of a poly/cotton blend. It comes with four large snap closure pockets, drawsting waist and hem, heavy duty zipper and a collar concealed hood.

It's still in very good and clean condition. Never really wore it before. I'm let it go at SGD 100. If interested, pls sms 96950359.

Hmmm just for all you uniform enthusiasts... I found this website with pictures of all sorts of US Army uniforms and equipment. BUT it's in Japanese though... just click around and look at the pictures.
