Rothco MA-1 Flight Jacket - Coyote Brown

MA-1 Flight Jacket

The MA-1 is the classic military bomber, built by Rothco in a coyote brown nylon shell with a knit collar, cuffs, and waistband. It is cut extra full so it layers easily over a sweater or shirt, and the whole jacket reverses to rescue orange when you need to be seen. This is everyday cold-weather wear for anyone who wants a warm, hard-wearing jacket that works on the street or in the field.

Features

• Water-Repellent Nylon Shell — The outer is 100% nylon that sheds light rain and snow rather than soaking it up.
• Poly Fiberfill Insulation — A lofted synthetic fill traps warmth without the bulk or wet-weather failure of down.
• Reversible Rescue Orange — Turn the jacket inside out for a high-visibility orange lining, the original signaling feature of the MA-1.
• Front Slash Pockets — Two angled hand pockets close with a snap-down flap to keep contents secure.
• Interior Snap Pockets — Two inside slash pockets with snap closure hold a wallet or phone out of sight.
• Sleeve Utility Pocket — A zippered pocket on the left sleeve with a leather pull tab, plus a slim outside pencil pocket alongside it.
• Ribbed Knit Trim — Knit collar, cuffs, and waistband seal out drafts and hold the jacket's shape.
• Heavy-Duty Brass Zipper — The main zip is solid brass with genuine leather pull tabs at the front and sleeve.
• Reinforced Stitching — Soft nylon poly thread resists the seam wear that ends most jackets.
• Extra-Full Cut — Roomy through the body and shoulders so it fits over layers.

Build And Fit

The shell and lining are both nylon over a poly fiberfill insulated interior, so the jacket is warm but still light enough for daily wear. The extra-full cut gives you room to layer, and the ribbed waistband and cuffs close off the gaps where cold gets in. Rothco builds this pattern to the familiar military MA-1 spec, down to the sleeve pocket and the reversible orange lining.
