A local company, Varusteleka has been extremely successful and grown rapidly from selling military surplus equipment bought from here and there as well as "tactical" looking stuff made cheaply somewhere. I've bought for example some Swiss army surplus towels for a bike trip. They were really good (small, durable, functional, beautiful) but a bit too small so you couldn't wrap one around yourself. They probably get the surplus stuff almost for free, from all around the world. I think it's great, making something desirable out of waste. Having served, I think a lot of military equipment is really bad, especially clothing. It's bought not by the users but by the organization.
