Merlette New York

A True NYC Gem for Vintage Military Style Church Street Surplus is a treasure trove for anyone into vintage military clothing or authentic workwear. The shop has an old-school, no-nonsense vibe — racks packed with real-deal army jackets, flight suits, camo pants, and even naval peacoats. Everything feels rugged, timeless, and built to last. Prices are fair, the selection is deep, and the atmosphere is pure downtown New York grit. Whether you’re hunting for fashion or function, this place delivers.

Came in this afternoon shopping around the area. Usually don’t find much here but stumbled upon an olive green trench that fit me perfectly—so much so that other patrons were stopping shopping to tell me how good it looks and that I have to buy it, even asking if there were more in different sizes. Noticing the attention it was getting, the woman running the floor came over and abruptly ripped off the tag, telling me it was mispriced and tried to upsell me on it for x10 the price. Even if that were the case, it was in poor taste and not how to run a shop. I won’t be coming back.

They have a very specific vibe when it comes to their clothes and that’s a lot of army stuff. They have army jackets and helmets and pants. Lots of things are the green or camo pattern. It gives the vibes of an old costume closet. I liked their bin of $25 handbags at the front. I found a genuine leather bag that I got and will wear a lot

Kindly asked the woman working if there was a men’s / women’s section and she responded with the most condescending answer, without actually answering my question outright. I just let her talk and quickly exited. Would never waste my time or money at this place filled with bitter employees. It also smelled like mothballs.
