Girl in search of camo!

June 8, 2007 2:43 PM

Where in NYC (Manhattan/Brooklyn, preferably) can I find pants/shorts with a camouflage print? I need this by this time tomorrow! Help!

I don't really care if they're men's or women's. They just need to be comfortable and hopefully cheap!

The Kohls at the Bay Parkway exit of the Belt has them. I was there yesterday and saw numerous camo shorts and pants.

I guess I should mention....this needs to be subway accessible.

Looks like you're in Williamsburg, so south Brooklyn may be a no go. Another option, in Manhattan, would be the KMart on Astor.

Subway access: "The A C E B D F stop at the west 4th street subway station on 6th Ave, we are 1/2 block from there.
Or you can take the N, R, 4, 5, 6 to Astor Place and walk along 8th street 3 blocks towards 6th Ave."

Urban Outfitters. 14th and 6th, or there's one on the UWS, above 79th on Broadway I think. Probably more but those two locations come to mind.

Just about any business on the Fulton Mall that's not a restaurant or a cell phone store should have them, as well.

There are many large clothes stores in the Broadway/Lafayette and Houston/Broome/Spring area that are sure to have them as well. Yellow Rat Bastard is the only one whose name comes to mind, if only because the others are all pretty much identically nameless/generic.

Anyway, they'll carry the expensive, brand-label, modern-tailoring (low waist, high cuff) variety. If that's not what you're after, I would strongly recommend any of the several Army-Navy stores in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Good store, lousy return policy - be sure you've got the right thing/size before you leave the store!

Yeah, that Army Navy Surplus is an Uncle Sam's branch, and I don't care too much for them. Much better is Dave's, on 6th ave between 16th and 17th. I just bought some brand new cotton ripstop 3/4 camos there for twenty bucks. They have a good selection and very friendly service.

If yo're in W'burgh, your answer is Pop's Popular Clothing on Franklin at Meserole, right at the Greenpoint border. Their selection is hit-and-miss, and they specialize in irregulars, but good pricing and lots of other interesting stuff.
