About Us

Welcome to War Horse Military Surplus, Ireland’s trusted source for authentic military surplus since 2014.

We started with humble beginnings—no retail experience, no background in military gear, and no idea just how niche this world really is. What we did have was curiosity, a love for practical clothing, and a belief that old army kit still had plenty of life left in it. From a small corner of our shed to shipping orders across Ireland and beyond, War Horse has grown steadily thanks to our customers and a lot of learning along the way.

At War Horse, we only sell genuine army surplus—clothing and equipment actually issued to military forces around the world. We don’t deal in modern branded “tactical” wear or fashion knockoffs. Everything we stock was made to military specifications, built to last, and often has a story to tell.

Our range includes:

• Vintage men’s and women’s military clothing

• Wetgear and rainwear

• Military-grade footwear and boots

• Rucksacks, load-carrying gear, and field equipment

While our gear appeals to vintage clothing fans, outdoors enthusiasts, and collectors, it’s just as popular with people who need tough, reliable kit for everyday work. Whether you’re fishing, farming, forestry cutting, or just need durable, weatherproof gear for working outdoors—military surplus delivers where fashion brands fall short.

We're proud to be a small, independent Irish business with a passion for the practical, the historic, and the hard-wearing. Thanks for choosing War Horse, and for helping us keep this corner of military history alive and useful.
