Product Overview
A NASA patch on the chest gives this kids’ bomber jacket a space-program look, while its reversible construction offers a completely different way to wear it. The Rothco Kids NASA MA-1 Flight Jacket combines four specialty patches with traditional flight-jacket details and an insulated interior, making it an appealing everyday layer for young space enthusiasts.
Two looks in one flight jacket
The large NASA “Meatball” logo sits on the left chest, giving the patched side its most recognizable detail. Turn the jacket inside out and the rescue orange polyester lining becomes the exterior. Full reversibility lets kids choose between the patch-decorated flight-jacket look and a bold orange alternative without needing a second jacket.
Ribbed knit at the collar, cuffs, and waistband finishes the familiar MA-1 silhouette. These flexible edges help the jacket sit comfortably around the neck, wrists, and waist, while brass zippers and leather pull tabs add to its classic bomber styling.
Insulation and everyday convenience
The 100% nylon outer shell has a water-repellent finish, useful for shedding light moisture during everyday outings. Poly fiberfill adds insulation for colder weather, giving this jacket a role beyond dress-up or space-themed outfits. It works naturally with casual clothing for school days, family outings, and time outdoors.
Pocket placement also follows the flight-jacket design. Slash pockets provide places to tuck hands or carry small belongings, while a separate zippered utility pocket offers enclosed storage. Its exterior pencil pocket keeps a writing tool separate from the main pocket compartment—a distinctive detail that adds function as well as character.
- Slash pockets: Two front pockets and two inside pockets.
- Utility storage: Zippered pocket with an exterior pencil pocket.
- Zipper configuration: Right-hand zipper slider.
This is a children’s MA-1-style jacket, so select sizing for the child who will wear it rather than using adult flight-jacket sizing as a reference. When choosing a fit for cooler weather, account for the clothing they will usually wear underneath.
