Hoodies
Our military hoodies cover service pride, camo, concealed carry and hi-vis work wear, in pullover and full-zip styles for men, women and kids.
For the services, choose from the USMC Eagle, Globe & Anchor pullover, the Black Ink U.S.M.C. Bulldog hoodie, the USMC Dogs of War hoodie, Marines and Navy Emblem pullovers, and the Army PT, Army Printed and Army pullover hoodies in black. Camo options include the Camo Pullover Hooded Sweatshirt, the Kid's Camo Pullover, Midnight Camo and Fred Bear camo Every Day Hoodies.
The concealed carry hoodies are a large part of the range, with plain black and zippered versions, a women's cut, and designs including the U.S. flag, Thin Blue Line, Thin Red Line, R.E.D. (Remember Everyone Deployed), USMC and bearded skull. A Security Concealed Carry Hoodie in black serves guards and patrol staff.
For warmth and work there's the Thermal Lined Full-Zip Hoodie, the Tactical Zip Up Hoodie, the Quilted Woobie Hooded Sweatshirt, and two safety green High-Vis Performance sweatshirts in pullover and zipper styles. Every Day Hoodies, an embroidered 1953 version and the Freedom US Flag hoodie round out the casual side.
A note for service members: a hoodie is not part of any duty or PT uniform listed in DA PAM 670-1, even one marked "Army PT." These are off-duty and training-day layers. Our guide below explains where the line sits.
How to Choose Military Hoodies
Start with pullover or zip. A pullover is warmer for its weight and holds a large front graphic well. A full-zip hoodie is easier to vent, layer over a shirt and pull off over a hat or headset.
Warm and Lined Hoodies
The Thermal Lined Full-Zip Hoodie adds a lining layer for cold mornings at the range or on the deer stand. The Quilted Woobie Hooded Sweatshirt takes its name from the military poncho liner known to troops as the woobie, and is a favorite for lounging and cold-weather downtime. The Tactical Zip Up Hoodie is cut for active use.
Service-Branch and Patriotic Hoodies
Branch hoodies make a solid gift for a recruit heading to basic training, a proud parent or a veteran. The USMC range is the deepest, from the Eagle, Globe & Anchor pullover to the Bulldog and Dogs of War designs. Army fans can choose the black Army and Army Printed pullovers, and Sailors have the Navy Emblem pullover. The Freedom US Flag hoodie and the embroidered 1953 Every Day Hoodie suit anyone who wants a patriotic look without a branch logo.
Concealed Carry Hoodies
Rothco's concealed carry hoodies are designed with room to carry discreetly under a casual layer. They come in pullover and zippered styles and in a women's cut. Carry laws vary by state and locality, so know the rules where you live and travel; this page doesn't offer legal advice.
Hi-Vis Military Hoodies for Work
The safety green High-Vis Performance Hooded Sweatshirt and Hi-Vis Performance Zipper Sweatshirt suit road crews, range staff, ground guides and anyone who needs to be seen around vehicles. Check your employer's safety requirements before relying on any garment as required PPE.
Sizing Hoodies
If you plan to wear a hoodie over a sweater, flannel or body armor, size up for room through the shoulders. Fitted performance hoodies sit closer, so stay with your usual size if you want a trim look. For kids, buying a size ahead gives room to grow.
Military Hoodies and Uniform Regulations
The Army Physical Fitness Uniform Doesn't Include a Hoodie
DA PAM 670-1, paragraph 10-2, lists the Army Physical Fitness Uniform as a black and gold running jacket, black running pants, black running trunks, black short- and long-sleeved T-shirts with "Army" in gold, footwear and socks. A hooded sweatshirt isn't on that list, so our Army PT hoodie is an off-duty and spirit item, not a substitute for the issued APFU jacket. If your unit allows a unit or spirit hoodie at PT, that is a local decision.
Wearing Military Hoodies Off Duty
Our Army, USMC and Navy hoodies are civilian clothing, so you can wear them anywhere you'd wear a sweatshirt. AR 670-1, paragraph 3-9, restricts mixing most uniform items with civilian clothes, but lists physical training uniforms and undergarments among the exceptions, so pairing an issued PT item with one of these hoodies is generally fine. Note that AR 670-1, paragraph 10-3, says the PT uniform itself may not be worn for commercial travel or in off-post establishments beyond essentials like gas.
Marines and Sailors should check MCO 1020.34H and NAVPERS 15665J for their own rules, and every service member should remember that unit and command policies can be stricter.
