Where can I get good used or surplus Army Dress Greens?

I am looking to get a replacement Dress Green Uniform. I cannot find mine from my time in the service. Anyone know of a place in or close to Michigan, or online. I cannot afford a new one. I want to be in uniform for my sons BT graduation.

Try this place, says officer, but they can come without piping:

You might try Ebay. I've seen quite a few of them there.

You can also try places like thrift stores if online doesn't have them in your size. I have seen some at thrift stores for cheap prices since no one wears them anymore. Most are in great shape too. A lot of youth boot camps wear them and we were helping some kids look for some at our local Goodwill and other thrift stores. One of them found the entire set for under $20 which was great for them. Price may depend on location too. You just hope one of the places have your size you need so that you don't spend all week driving and searching around.

My ex torched 99% of all my military chatchkies. Sorry. Post some pictures of the graduation and tell your son he is AWESOME! Good job dad.

You could try US Militaria Forums. It's a site for collectors and researchers.

Found mine at the local GI Supply store near Ft. Bliss. I did some alterations because it was not fitting well. If you find Dress Blues you can wear them too as a veteran. I also found them at the local university (ROTC units). The ROTC is also following the wear-out date the service is following. I have no idea if the High School JR ROTC units are getting rid of them also. Good luck and congratulations on yous son's BT graduation.
