About the original
Swiss Link Military Surplus has been sourcing and manufacturing field-grade gear out of Chico, California since 1992, importing genuine European army surplus alongside producing its own line of jerry cans, wool blankets, and field kit. Their 20L water can is built from 0.8mm 304-grade stainless steel with seamless welding, a polished interior to prevent corrosion, and a food-grade NBR o-ring on the cap and vent plug, matching standard NATO jerry can dimensions. The can measures 13 x 6.5 x 18.25 inches, weighs 7 pounds empty, and retails for $149.99. The SS2025 Supreme version is the same Swiss Link can with a debossed Supreme logo on the side panel.
About Swiss Link
Swiss Link is an American military-surplus importer founded in 1996 by Chris Mott in Northern California. The company began by sourcing decommissioned Swiss Army equipment during the demilitarization of Switzerland's Cold War stockpiles, including wool blankets, M70 alpenflage shelter halves, ammo pouches, mountain rucksacks, and bread bags. The catalog has since expanded to surplus from Germany, Austria, Britain, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Scandinavia, and Swiss Link is now one of the largest wholesalers of authentic military surplus in the United States, supplying army-navy retailers nationwide. Supreme collaborated with Swiss Link on co-branded versions of classic Swiss Army wool blankets and surplus-style accessories.
