Rothco MA-1 Flight Jacket - Navy

Classic MA-1 Bomber

The Rothco MA-1 Flight Jacket is a commercial reproduction of the US Air Force MA-1, the short, insulated nylon jacket designed for aircrew. It keeps the original layout: a water-repellent nylon shell, poly fiberfill insulation, knit trim that seals out wind, and a zippered pocket on the left sleeve. This navy version suits cold-weather daily wear, aviation fans and anyone who wants a warm jacket with a long service pedigree.

Features

• Water-Repellent Nylon Shell — The 100% nylon outer has a finish that sheds light rain and snow and wipes clean easily.
• Poly Fiberfill Insulation — A synthetic fill between shell and lining traps body heat and stays warm in cold, damp conditions.
• Reversible Rescue Orange Lining — The polyester lining is the high-visibility orange used on the original, so the jacket can be worn inside out to be seen.
• Ribbed Knit Collar, Cuffs and Waistband — Stretch knit at the neck, wrists and hem fits close to the body to block wind and hold warmth in.
• Brass Front Zipper With Storm Flap — A heavy brass zipper closes the front, backed by a storm flap, an inner strip of fabric that stops wind getting through the zipper teeth.
• Leather Pull Tabs — Genuine leather tabs on the zipper pulls are easy to grab with gloves on.
• Utility Sleeve Pocket — A zippered pocket on the left shoulder has an outside pencil pocket stitched to its face for pens or small tools.
• Four Body Pockets — Two front pockets with snap closures and two inside slash pockets give you room for a phone, wallet and keys.

Built to the MA-1 Pattern

Rothco builds this jacket to follow the original USAF MA-1 specification for general commercial sale, so the cut, pocket placement and knit trim match the military design. The cut is short and boxy, ending at the waist on a ribbed band, with gathered sleeves that allow full arm movement. The navy shell has a slight sheen and pairs with the brass hardware for a traditional look.
