Rothco Jackets for Fall and Winter 2017

There are several product lines we have recently picked up that our customers asked us to start carrying.  While we are very cautious about what kinds of inventory we stock, there is something that we really liked about the Rothco outerwear that we really liked.   We recently found out about another regional Army Navy store closing down and to be honest, there really isn’t much opportunity to acquire military surplus clothing like there use to be. So many of these stores try to pick up modern military production clothing and the profits aren’t just there. Rothco Jackets like Rothco MA-1 Flight Jacket is only $36 and gets people through most of the fall is a light windbreaker.  Everyone has a variation of the M-65 jacket and Rothco is one of them.   They do a good job of  making vintage military jackets.

The only negative we’ve gotten so far is that Rothco could do a better job of putting better quality zippers on their jackets.  The Rothco Jackets that we sell the most of are the Soft Shell jackets, there are considerable differences in the weight and tactical or concealed carry applications so do some research into what works best for you.  The Rothco A-2 Leather Flight Jacket is an outstanding version but on the much higher price.  With all of the options you might consider, Rothco hits at a much more reasonable price point for wear and tear clothing.

Rothco Jackets, various weight, colors

Rothco JacketsWe have been very new to the Rothco product line, but they have been around a very long time and have a very good presence on social media and are very good at marketing their product.   We jumped onboard early in 2017 with the product line and found that it has filled a niche.   There are always different levels of durability and quality, but some people want to buy what they can afford.  When it comes to Rothco Jackets, they have a lot of Military, Tactical and CCW options.  We’ve search around the web for IDPA vests, and Rothco has them,  and have been trying to fill the void on a lot of other outerwear.   Online  you can always find plenty of options, but with clothing, you never know how it is going to fit you and how heavy it is.   Most men we deal with have no idea about product materials, but they know what they like when they feel it.

Most people have moved away from the idea of needing a Han Solo winter jacket, and Soft Shell Jackets are very common.   There are huge differences in fit between Condor Soft Shells, Tru-Spec Softshells and 5.11 Tactical Softshells.   You might see 40% differences in prices and if you don’t think you need to spend that much, then don’t.   I think Rothco could afford to put better zippers on some of their products but we have been extremely happy with our customer responses for Rothco Jackets, they buy them because they can afford them.   There are several Vintage Military Styles, M-65 and Bomber Jackets and Flight Jackets.
