Product Overview
Space-program patches give this black bomber jacket a character all its own. The Rothco NASA MA-1 Flight Jacket pairs the familiar flight-jacket silhouette with NASA’s “Meatball” logo and a Space Shuttle patch, making it an appealing everyday layer for anyone interested in aviation and space exploration. Its orange reverse side offers a distinctly different look when you want a change from black.
There’s useful cold-weather construction behind the styling. The 100% nylon outer shell has a water-repellent finish to help shed light moisture, while poly fiberfill insulation adds warmth without a heavy feel. For cool-weather errands, outdoor events, or time around camp, that combination provides insulation and some resistance to damp conditions in a straightforward jacket design.
The familiar MA-1 shape, with NASA details
A ribbed knit collar, cuffs, and waistband define the MA-1 profile and give the openings a snug finish. The cuffs help keep the sleeves close at the wrists, while the waistband gathers the jacket at the waist rather than leaving a loose, straight hem. These details preserve the recognizable bomber shape without distracting from the space-themed patches.
Brass zippers, double “MA-1” pull tabs, and leather accents add distinct finishing touches. Alongside the black exterior, they keep the jacket rooted in classic flight-jacket styling. The reversible orange lining provides a brighter alternative, giving you two contrasting ways to wear the same insulated layer.
Pockets for the items you carry daily
The storage layout separates frequently used belongings from items you prefer to keep inside the jacket. Front slash pockets offer convenient access, while the interior pockets provide another place to organize small essentials. A sleeve utility pocket adds a dedicated zippered compartment without using the front pockets.
- Two front slash pockets.
- Two inside pockets.
- Zippered sleeve utility pocket with an additional pencil pocket.
If you’re choosing a jacket primarily for everyday wear, the distinguishing feature here is the combination of NASA insignia and a reversible MA-1 design: space-themed styling, insulated construction, and useful pocket organization in one outer layer.
