Rothco began as a family story in Manhattan in 1953, when Milton Somberg started a business selling used military equipment and army surplus from World War II. When the supply of army surplus began to dry up in the 1960s, he decided to take the reins and started making his own equipment. Today, Rothco is a leader in the world of military fashion and gear - from durable BDU pants, iconic MA-1 and M65 jackets, to tactical shirts and outdoor accessories. Whether you're going on a mission or just looking for style with history, Rothco has what you need.
