Rothco Concealed Carry MA-1 Flight Jacket

The Rothco Concealed Carry MA-1 Flight Jacket is a men's midweight bomber jacket built around an ambidextrous concealed carry pocket system, housed in a 100% nylon water-repellent outer shell with poly fiber fill insulation. The jacket is available in Black in sizes S through 5XL.

Built for Discreet Carry

The Rothco MA-1's concealed carry system includes two padded interior pockets, one on each side, sized to holster a firearm and personal accessories. Because the pockets are ambidextrous, the jacket works equally well for right- and left-handed carriers without any modification. Each side also carries two internal magazine pouches, keeping spare mags accessible without printing through the outer shell.

Warmth and Weather Resistance for Cold Conditions

The MA-1 Flight Jacket's 100% nylon outer shell is water-repellent, shedding light rain and snow during daily use. Poly fiber fill provides insulation across the body, while a ribbed knit collar, cuffs, and waistband seal out wind at the edges and retain heat. The extra full cut leaves room for base layers underneath, extending the jacket's useful temperature range into colder weather.

Pocket Layout for Everyday Use

Beyond the CCW pockets, the Rothco MA-1 carries five additional pockets: two front slash pockets, two inner welt pockets, and a zippered utility sleeve pocket. Exterior pen holders on the sleeve add quick-access storage for small items. The combination covers everyday carry needs without requiring a separate bag.

Classic MA-1 Construction

The jacket follows the original MA-1 silhouette with a zippered front closure, double MA-1 pull tabs, a storm flap, brass zippers, and a leather pull tab. The interior lining is reversible orange polyester, consistent with the original military flight jacket design.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Rothco Concealed Carry MA-1 Flight Jacket suits men who carry a firearm daily and want a cold-weather outer layer that keeps the carry discreet. The extra full cut accommodates base layers, making it practical across a range of cold-weather conditions. The ambidextrous pocket system works for right- and left-handed carriers, and the classic MA-1 silhouette fits both on-duty and casual settings.

This jacket is not ballistic or stab-resistant outerwear and provides no protection against ballistic or edged threats. It is not designed as a plate carrier or armor system. The water-repellent shell handles light precipitation only; it is not rated for sustained rain or immersion. Rothco publishes a model-specific size chart for the MA-1 Flight Jacket, as the extra full cut may fit differently than standard outerwear sizing.

Common Questions

What firearms does the concealed carry pocket fit?

The Rothco MA-1 Flight Jacket's padded CCW pockets are designed to holster firearms and personal accessories. No maximum frame size or list of compatible models by name is specified. The jacket's extra full cut allows some flexibility, and buyers carrying larger-frame handguns may find it useful to size up.

How many magazine pouches does the jacket include?

The Rothco Concealed Carry MA-1 Flight Jacket includes two internal magazine pouches on each side, for four total. These are built into the interior alongside the padded holster pockets and are accessible without opening the outer zipper.

Is the jacket warm enough for winter use?

The MA-1 Flight Jacket is rated as a midweight cold-weather jacket. Poly fiber fill and a ribbed knit collar, cuffs, and waistband provide insulation and wind-blocking at the edges. The extra full cut leaves room for additional base layers underneath, which extends its effective range in colder temperatures.

Does the water-repellent shell hold up in heavy rain?

The Rothco MA-1's 100% nylon shell is water-repellent and suitable for light rain and snow. It is not rated for sustained or heavy precipitation, so the jacket is best suited to incidental weather exposure rather than extended time in heavy rain.

Can this jacket be worn reversed?

The Rothco Concealed Carry MA-1 Flight Jacket features a reversible orange polyester interior lining, consistent with the original MA-1 military design. The CCW pocket system is built into the nylon shell side; the reversed configuration is not described as carry-capable, so concealed carry access requires wearing the nylon shell facing out.

What sizes are available?

The Rothco Concealed Carry MA-1 Flight Jacket is available in Black in sizes S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, and 5XL. Rothco publishes a model-specific size chart for the MA-1 Flight Jacket; consulting it before ordering is recommended, as the extra full cut may differ from standard outerwear sizing.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise

When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.

1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry

Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.

We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.

2. Best price, guaranteed

If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.

Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.

3. Free fitment consultation

Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.

4. Trusted by thousands of customers

Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

Price Match Guarantee — Terms

  • You must have purchased the item from our website before requesting the price match.
  • Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
  • The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
  • The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
  • The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
  • The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
  • Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.

To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
