The Rothco Thin Red Line Concealed Carry Hoodie is a 100% polyester pullover sweatshirt built for adult men who carry daily and want to show support for firefighters. A distressed American Flag graphic appears on the left chest and across the back, incorporating the thin red line. Available in Black and Gunmetal Grey, sizes S through 3XL.
Discreet Access Without Slowing You Down
The Rothco Thin Red Line Concealed Carry Hoodie is built around a passthrough kangaroo pocket that allows quick access to IWB items for appendix carry. The internal vertical access point measures 8.25 inches and accommodates most standard EDC essentials, so the draw path stays short and the profile stays low. The kangaroo pocket sits flush against the body, keeping the carry setup invisible from the outside.
Moisture Control for All-Day Wear
The hoodie is made from 100% polyester with Rothco's rapid moisture control fabric. Sweat transfers to the outer layer and dries quickly, preventing the fabric from soaking through to an undershirt. The result is a garment that stays dry and moves with the wearer through a full day of activity, whether that's a shift, a weekend trip, or everyday errands.
Storage Beyond the Main Pocket
Two zippered sleeve pockets with wire passthrough ports let the wearer route earbuds or charging cables while keeping a phone, wallet, or other carry items secured. The left sleeve adds a dual pen pocket for writing utensils. The right sleeve features a loop panel for morale patches or flag patches, giving the hoodie a customizable surface without altering the clean exterior look.
Warmth and Comfort in Cold Conditions
A soft fleece lining provides all-day warmth. The drawstring hood shields the head and neck from cold wind and rain, while built-in thumbholes retain hand warmth without restricting grip or range of motion. These details make the hoodie practical for extended outdoor wear in cool or cold weather.

Who This Is For and Isn't
This hoodie suits adult men who carry IWB for appendix carry and want a casual, everyday garment that keeps their setup discreet. The moisture-wicking fleece construction makes it practical for active daily wear, outdoor errands, or cool-weather use. The Thin Red Line graphic makes it a natural choice for firefighters, fire service families, and supporters of first responders.
This hoodie provides no ballistic or stab protection of any kind. It is standard apparel, not body armor. It is not designed for OWB carry configurations or shoulder holster setups. Rothco publishes a dedicated size chart for the Concealed Carry Hoodie line; consulting it before ordering is recommended, as fit can vary between garment styles.
Common Questions
What carry position does this hoodie support?
The Rothco Thin Red Line Concealed Carry Hoodie is designed for IWB appendix carry. The passthrough kangaroo pocket provides the access path, and the 8.25-inch internal vertical opening accommodates most standard EDC essentials in that position. It is not configured for OWB or shoulder holster setups.
What size EDC items will fit through the internal opening?
The internal vertical access point on the Rothco Thin Red Line Concealed Carry Hoodie measures 8.25 inches and accommodates most standard EDC essentials for appendix carry. Buyers carrying larger or non-standard handguns should verify fit against that measurement before purchasing.
Does the hoodie provide any ballistic or stab protection?
No. The Rothco Thin Red Line Concealed Carry Hoodie is standard apparel made from 100% polyester. It carries no ballistic rating, no stab-resistance rating, and no protective certification of any kind. It is a carry-friendly garment, not body armor.
How does the moisture-wicking fabric work?
The hoodie uses Rothco's rapid moisture control fabric, which transfers sweat from the skin-facing layer to the outer polyester surface where it can evaporate quickly. This keeps the inner layer dry and prevents the fabric from clinging to an undershirt during extended or active wear.
What are the sleeve pockets for, and what is the wire passthrough?
The two zippered sleeve pockets on the Rothco Thin Red Line Concealed Carry Hoodie secure small items like a phone or wallet. The wire passthrough ports allow earbuds or charging cables to be routed inside the sleeve. The left sleeve also has a dual pen pocket; the right sleeve has a loop panel for patches.
Does purchasing this hoodie support any charitable cause?
Yes. Rothco states that proceeds from Thin Red Line items benefit the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund, also known as Answer The Call, which supports families of fallen first responders.
Where can I find the size chart for this hoodie?
Rothco publishes a dedicated size chart for the Concealed Carry Hoodie line. Because fit can vary between garment styles, consulting that chart before ordering is recommended. Contact us if you need help selecting a size.

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.
