CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY FOR THE BELMONT CREW

Everybody loves some Secret Santa fun, although it seems that not everyone gets the jest about it being “secret.” Regardless, some good gifts were given and some laughs were had (Frosty the Snowman bobblehead anyone?)

But now it’s your turn to get in on the action! Until Christmas, we are giving you 20% off all accessories including sunglasses, headphones, watches, jewelry, and hats! We also have gift certificates in the amounts of $25, $50, and $100, so come in to Belmont Army and get your gift giving done right!

HALLOWEENTOWN

It’s Halloween Week, kiddos, and that means it’s time to get up and get down! Don’t think that Belmont Army doesn’t have holiday spirit, we sure do, and most of it is hiding up on the third (army surplus) and fourth (vintage) floors! They have LEGIT police, army, sailor, marine gear and accessories that will keep you from looking like a knock-off of the real thing! The vintage floor has every decade at your fingertips from disco dancing queen to groovy hippie swag that demands best costume award at any party.

And if you’re just dying to be dead, you can always be a zombie like the first floor last year (and even more so this year..hint hint) and threaten all sorts of mayhem. Either way, be sure to stop by the store this week and create your own award-worthy costume, we may even give you candy!

Burning Man

Burning Man is a little over a week away. If you’ve been down to Black Rock City before, you’ll know how crucial it is to have good eye protection. Whether your personal needs are to protect your eyes from harsh glare and UV rays, wind and sandstorms, or just to let your…erm… freak flag fly, Belmont Army has a wide variety of vintage military goggles and sunglasses to help you out.

These shaded Swiss motorcycle goggles come in a durable tin carrying case that's kinda retro and old fashioned and kinda bad ass

These rubber German goggles have kind of a mad scientist/Dr. Strangelove vibe to them, but the adjustable strap should keep them flush against your face and and keep your eyes safe when the wind starts kicking up sand

These hinged, leather Chinese mountain troop goggles have tinted lenses on the front and side so you can check out all the cool machines and art and naked people in your periphery without looking risking whiplash or looking like a sleazoid

You can find all these on the third floor, along with Aviator shades and a wide variety of gas masks, canteens, sleeping pads, duffle bags, knives, ponchos, multi-tools, and camping goods to keep you safe and comfortable on the playa. Check out the 4th floor for Incognito sunglasses, including thick framed, UV-protected clear Buddy Holly glasses, highway patrol shades, Bono-style bugeye shades, weird pointy spangly sunglasses that look like a mix between a sexy librarian and a John Waters’ movie drag queen, along with all sorts of vintage mens and womens items you can add to your costume repertoir.

ADIDAS SHUTTERBOX PHOTOBOOTH

Did you have fun with us? Because we had fun with you, as can be seen by the prints from Thursday’s Lollapalooza Pre-Party hosted by Adidas and Belmont Army. DJ Trentino and Mix Master Mike tore it up, and a good time was had by all. Hundreds of Chicagoans showed up to receive free drinks, limited edition Adidas Lollapalooza t-shirts, and to party in style. To see all the Shutterbox pictures from the event, check out their website. (You can even order bigger prints!)
