About Us

Hi and let me welcome you to I.M.S.C.

Buying army surplus is a good way to save money. When you buy army surplus you get good quality, hard-wearing gear that costs a fraction of the civillian equivalent and has been designed and made for harshest conditions, if its good enough for the government, then its good enough for you!!

Army surplus clothing is great for hunting,fishing,rambling and all manner of outdoor activities that require protection from the elements.

We are a family run business supplying quality army surplus and equipment. Our humble beginings started over 10 yrs ago upon purchasing a huge volume of NBC Suits, which we sold out of very quickly through carbootsales and markets!!

After years of outdoor grafting, serving the public with top quality army surplus, we became established at our Leigh premises in 2005 and then moved to our recent location @ Chorley, in June / July 2011.

We are a supplier of army surplus to the cadet forces in and around the Lancashire/Greater Manchester area, Local Authorities, Police And Prison Personnel,youth activity groups, army-style fitness centres and have supplied army surplus clothing for the television industry.

Our main customers however, are YOU!! the general public, I.E. workmen, fishermen, walkers and ramblers, hunters etc.

Through our regular overseas travel to seek out the best army surplus deals from our suppliers all over Europe and our constant market research, you can purchase top quality army surplus at the keenest prices around.

We have a well stocked showroom, comprising of British, European and U.S. military, field and fatigue army surplus clothing and equipment and we incorporate zero tolerance to imported non-issue items, making us one of the very few dedicated true army surplus outlets in the U.K.

visits are always encouraged, as we stock a whole lot more than we can possibly advertise on the website.
