My 8 year old son is very into military "stuff" at the moment and loves to see military metals, wear military clothing and is in general into typical 8 year old boy stuff. We were dining nearby and drove by Kenosha Military Surplus & Supplies and decided to stop in so he could look around. This is a pretty small shop, but they have a good selection of metals, clothing, patches, stickers and other military items. The man we met (I assume the owner) is a Vietnam veteran and was very informative and friendly. We spend 5-10 minutes speaking with him about his military service as well as items in the store. If you are looking for military items in the Kenosha area, this is definitely a good place to shop. Please give this veteran an opportunity to earn your business and thank him for his service to our country.

I will just start off by saying clothes shopping is a struggle for me. I have little patience but…read morealas, I needed cargo pants & a belt for the range & upcoming classes. Instead of purchasing online, I decided to stop by & I'm very happy I did. The woman assisting me was so helpful! Let's face it, we're all built differently so I appreciated being shown the differences in selection & being encouraged to try them all on. It's great feeling when you find "the pair" - & in my case, I found two! They're so comfortable & hello - pockets! Also grabbed a good belt which says a lot. I don't like belts but again, I found "the one." I managed to show up during a sale so I felt I got a great deal on my purchases & the brand makes quality products. I adore my backpack I purchased online & now my clothing & accessories. I'll definitely be back for more & thanks so much again for an outstanding experience.

I was hoping to find a bargain but ended up paying full price which is unusual for me. I did find a great deal on a pair of tennis shoes though so I now have two sets of new footwear. If they had more clothing in my size I would have stocked up on those, too. Not to mention the great gear they carry. The staff was friendly and helpful and I helped me feel better about leaving so much money behind.

Coincidentally, I bookmarked this place on Madison St. in downtown Forest Park, approximately ten (10) to fifteen (15) minute walking distance from either CTA Harlem or Forest Park Blue Line station. The owner was friendly and offering assistance when Dad was mumbling about combat boots. Unfortunately, he didn't have much luck on finding his size. By the way, guys, for your information he wears women's size 7.5! There were some fun t-shirts, caps, beanies, outerwear, jumpsuits, and trousers with police and military themes. However, most of their items were priced on a much higher side. I was about to commit on purchasing a Chicago-flag t-shirt, substituting stars with skulls. I decided not to due to the intimidating caption and hefty price ($18 for a t-shirt). It was cool to see a dressing room for customer use. We had a great time browsing through the aisles. Items were well-organized in categories. If you were into collecting military and police gadgets, this shop would be appropriate for you to poke around.

They repaired some semaphore signal lens rings, fabricated a new running board for my Fairmont speeder, and did other stuff for me. I googled to see if they're still around, and I was happy to find they're still in the same location 41 years later. The folks at JB were patient and good listeners. They did exactly what I asked, and always finished on time. Their charges were reasonable, and I never found anything to complain about. I wish there were more businesses like JB Metal Works. Keep up the good work, guys (and gals?).
