Lately I've been incorporating some surplus stuff into my wardrobe because A: it's usually of fairly durable material and B: if you wear it with the right stuff it's basically hipster shit on a budget. I think I pull it off but I'm trying hard not to overdo it, I only even own one piece of clothing with a camouflage pattern on it. You also have to make sure it's foreign and doesn't resemble anything currently used by your country's military, otherwise you look like a poor kid wearing dad's old BDUs or big bro's hand-me-downs.

You cannot find a shirt like that at Walmart or the mall. The aesthetic justifies the price for some people as well.
