Rothco MA-1 Flight Jacket - Coyote Brown

Classic MA-1 Flight Jacket

The MA-1 started as a US Air Force pilot's jacket, and Rothco builds this version on the same pattern. It has a water-repellent nylon shell, poly fiberfill insulation and a lining that reverses to rescue orange. This one comes in coyote brown, a muted tan-brown that pairs easily with tactical pants, workwear and jeans. Wear it for cold-weather errands, range days or daily use when you want a warm layer without the bulk of a parka.

Features

• Water-Repellent Nylon Shell — The 100% nylon outer sheds light rain and wind and wipes clean easily.
• Poly Fiberfill Insulation — Synthetic polyester fill traps body heat for cold-weather wear and stays warmer than down when it gets damp.
• Reversible Rescue Orange Lining — Turn the jacket inside out for a high-visibility orange that originally let downed aircrew signal rescuers.
• Full Front Zipper With Storm Flap — A heavy brass-tone zipper closes the front, with a fabric flap behind it to block drafts.
• Two Snap Flap Front Pockets — Angled flap pockets on each side close with a snap to keep keys and gloves in place.
• Sleeve Utility Pocket — A zippered pocket on the upper left sleeve, with pen slots alongside it, holds small items within easy reach.
• Ribbed Knit Collar, Cuffs And Waistband — Stretch knit trim seals out wind at the neck, wrists and hem without restricting movement.
• Extra Full Cut — The roomy fit leaves space for a sweater or hoodie underneath.

Fit And Construction

This is a commercial reproduction from Rothco, not surplus issue, so it arrives new and built to the familiar MA-1 layout: a waist-length body, a knit collar where other jackets have a lapel, and a sleeve pocket placed where a pilot could reach it while seated. The cut runs full through the chest and arms. Buyers who prefer a trimmer look may want to consider their usual size or one down.
