Weekend in New York – In and Around Times Square – ‘Hidden in Plain Sight’
Kaufman’s Army & Navy is a musty, chaotic spot for camouflage and boots. It is one of the few true military surplus stores still around. Look for the two wooden-wheeled United Dstates Army Hotchkiss Mountain cannons from the Spanish-American War

“Guarded by two 19th-century cannons, Kaufman’s is one of the oldest army-surplus stores in the country. Pick through chaotic piles of garments inside to find such cool military guard as a wide selection of pea coats and thick Austrian army sweaters, plus classic workwear and casual brands such as Carhartt, Dickies, and Schott. The store also rents outfits to costume-party goers and wardrobe scouts (remember Robert De Niro’s field jacket in Taxi Driver? Enough said)”
“A favorite depot for the fashion set, this place has military surplus items from around the world. Navy-style pea coats and array of bags in all types. One-of-a-kind items like WWII-era maps of Tokyo as well. Some English patient costumes came from here”
The best selection of army/navy stores in the U.S.: Kaufman’s Army Navy, 319 West Forty-second Street, NYC; (212)757-5670″
