Our Story

Genuine military surplus. Family owned. Since 1978.

Jungle was born in 1978 on a market stall — first in Soho, then Leicester Square, then Camden. From the very beginning it was a family business, and it remains one to this day.

Through the 1980s, 90s and 2000s, Jungle became a destination in its own right — serving pop legends, actors, actresses and sports stars who knew that authentic military surplus couldn't be found anywhere else. We've worked with most major film, theatre and TV companies around the world, and we continue to do so.

We're proud to have inspired world-class designers and shaped fashion trends that have stood the test of time. When people want the real thing — genuine ex-issue gear, honestly described — they come to Jungle.

Nearly five decades on, the same family is still at the helm. Our mission hasn't changed: to be friendly, honest, reliable and unique. We hope you'll feel that in every item we sell.
